This is like when Roku remotes had the Blockbuster button on them.
Silicon Valley is honestly worthless.
We have an entire industry based on innovations that are 30-50 years old.
How long until Wall street finds a new investment vehicle and San Francisco is the next Detroit?
Fucking ai on a mouse… Maybe we need AI in my toaster next

So what is it?
It’s sliced bread that has been browned by radiant heat, triggering the Maillard reaction, making the surface firmer, crispy, and altering its flavour profile with caramelized sugars.
At first you wonder if this is real or fake, then you look it up.
I just got an MX Master 3S and it’s a wonderful mouse, but the Logi Options+ software is fucking TERRIBLE. God it’s bad. They are definitely pushing this AI prompt builder nonsense, but the mouse itself just stops working for long periods of time and the the Options+ interface says that the mouse is “unavailable”, even though it’s right there and I can physically see it with my eyes and move it around with my hands. My computer says it’s still connected via Bluetooth, but no, this thing that wants me to create a mouse account and use an additional AI prompt builder says the mouse doesn’t work. I ran across a 3rd party program that lets me map the additional buttons on the mouse to the functions I like and am able to get by just fine without any Logitech software at all, and the mouse always works now. This mouse feels like they just accidentally made good hardware in spite of themselves.
Haven’t had as bad of a time with Options+ but it still sucks. It somehow acts like it’s connecting to some piece of complex and archaic industrial test equipment as opposed to a brand new mouse. It often takes longer than a Windows update and restarting the computer. It also causes way more cpu load while idle than could ever be considered reasonable.
Options was ok, it still had issue and still wanted an account, but it would at least just connect, update, close etc.
I had to use third party software to assign the buttons on my Logitech trackball because their own software didn’t recognize it.
I’m waiting for my combination AI/blockchain/cordless blender, so I can’t even use it because it had a brainfart while trying to make an NFT of my smoothie, dropped its’ internet connection and now it won’t even charge.
FFS Logitech, all you had to do was release a redesign of the g600 mouse, how hard is that?
NVIDIA stock to the fucking ground!
Ugh
These ridiculous mice with a dedicated AI button are showing up all over now. 😠 I mean … how can you fuck up something as simple as a mouse!?
My WebEx client (a program for making phone calls and text messages) added a damned AI button last week.
Why!?
Why? Because they can and some c suite said to do it because buzzwords.
Turns out, it is actually kinda useful for summarizing conversations and bringing you up to speed.
I guess that that second part makes sense.
It’s the buzzword part that irks me. All I want is a video card under $500 that actually works…
I’m hoping that AMD gets some progress in the graphics space and the AI space. And as much as it pains me… Intel too.
Intel, AMD, almost anyone else. Nvidia can keep making AI calculation cards while the rest of us get perfectly serviceable graphics cards at affordable consumer prices .
I’d love to know how much time and money was wasted on this.
Tree Fiddy
I ain’t givin’ no AI shortcut button no tree fiddy!
I’ve made a quantum leap in food technology: I have invented french fries with a dedicated AI… let’s say napkin. Not like it matters. It costs 450 dollars per month and requires the area of a small town’s worth of rain forest to be razed in order to produce a single one. What does it do, you ask? It’s AI, it does AI things, you bumpkin. You wouldn’t understand with your uncultured peasant brain but if you’re not on board, the evolution of civilisation will leave you behind in an instant.
For those times when you need a tomboy in Counter strike
Whole new meaning to toggling now I guess?
“HAL, eco-buy and camp long B”
F-ck those superflous buttons. I’ve got a mouse with an extra button on the left side. Otherwise, this is a good mouse, but someone had the stupid idea of putting this button where it can easily be activated with a brush of the thumb, and another had the equally stupid idea to make the default function the “back” in the browser.
We need a “the future were headed towards” meme with a keyboard that’s all AI assistant buttons and no QWERTY
Sadly you can use the app on Linux, so no rebinding.
I got a G-502 lightning so… Yeah… I like buttons
