Don’t current Kensington trackballs have this layout as well?
Not quite, with the thumb buttons like the Trackball Explorer had. Closest I can find is the DEFT Pro https://elecomusa.com/products/deft-pro-trackball

I miss the old microsoft track ball. The ball wasn't a thumb exercise as it was under your index-middle-ring fingers and you clicked with the thumb.

Hybrid runners are self hosted... it's like paying to cook things on your own stove.

Any realistic strategies that you have considered in order to try achieving that? Genuine question.
Working. In my 30 years employed I've managed to invest enough to make up a little. I've probably 24 years left. I think I can more than double my 401k in that time but that still won't be 1M
If crypto keeps going up there's a chance my 3k investment in it eclipses my 40yr 401k so I'm hoping for that....

Making enough money to retire
I don't know if you have used 2.5, but it is the first model to disagree with directions I have provided...
"..the user suggests using XYZ to move forward, but that would be rather inefficient, perhaps the user is not totally aware of the characteristics of XYZ. We should suggest moving forward with ABC and explain why it is the better choice..."
It really gave me a lot of push back once when I wanted to use a js library over a python one for a particular project. Like I gave it my demo code in js and it basically said, "meh, cute but use this python one because ...reasons..."

From my use case, the Gemini 2.5 is terrible. I have a complex Cython code in a single file (1500 lines) for a Sequence Labeling. Claude and o3 are very good in improving this code and following the commands. The Gemini always try to do unrelated changes. For example, I asked, separately, for small changes such as remove this unused function, or cache the arrays indexes. Every time it completely refactored the code and was obsessed with removing the gil. The output code is always broken, because removing the gil is not easy.
For me I had to upload the library's current documentation to it because it was using outdated references and changing everything that was working in the code to broken and not focusing on the parts I was trying to build upon.

It may be a combination of making the battery overheat which would trigger the planted explosives from a supply chain attack. Of course, I am no hardware engineer/bomb expert to know if that is possible.
I mean at that point why not just make the battery the explosive..it's not like it needs a great shelf-life just a kaboom
