On the hardware side, I wonder if the author has seen the MX Ergo S model. It features a USB-C charger, and they claim it’s 80% quieter.

Logitech held out on moving some of their more niche products to USB-C until they were forced by the EU. I'm sure when the author _started_ their journey they had not released the Ergo S yet, looks like it came out September '24.

I also gave up on waiting for the Ergo S and grabbed a Kensington TB550. The name is awful, but the trackball is excellent.

Logic Henry Ford would recognize.

Ah yes, the famous logic of Henry Ford. Pay union workers? Bad. Buy newspaper to run anti-semitic trash for eight years? Good.

The top two HN posts are currently:

1. Krazam OS (krazam.tv) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40126751

2. Meta Horizon OS (meta.com) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40115554

Both posts feature OS but with rather different look and feel.

Even odds on which one will still be going in 10 years time.

Alpha was also the name of the virtual assistant owned by the bad guy in Extrapolations.

Yes, but before that he was helping Zordon and the Power Rangers.

> Reddit the site (and now app) is such a fundamentally useful thing that it's almost unkillable.

Looking forward to see how true this is. The communities I used to frequent, have maybe 20% of the activity they used to, before the API fiasco, even though they're "back online". I also stopped using reddit on the phone after my chosen reddit client was closed down (which I'm grateful for, thanks reddit).

My reddit activity probably dropped way below half compared to before, as the communities I used to be in are now shells of their former glory.

I was an active and fairly early Reddit user for many years, but the brutal changes to satisfy financial goals drove me away as well.

I think it’s interesting to see a flagging platform with a user base that will consistently post and upvote “fuck spez” celebrated here as a success, but I suppose the only thing that matters at this level of discussion is the almighty dollar.

Would love to see a “knob feel” category for these in addition to the visual observations.

I guess with less users and moderators they have more time to explore their hobbies over at reddit now.

In my experience 8BitDo makes nice products, but given the audience I have to ask... did anyone else's hands preemptively cramp just looking at this thing?
