Logitech has an idea for a “forever mouse” that requires a subscription
  • When you pay them as long as you use the mouse, they have a business reason to keep it working as long as possible (so to use batter switches) and sending you a new one when one breaks can still be profitable for them. Software updates are less important here.

    I guess for end users it will still be cheaper and more convenient to buy a new regular mouse with a one-time payment after the previous one breaks. And that is how electro-trash piles up...

  • Europe's rental prices
  • And these are mostly capitals – prices there are usually far above prices in our cities and towns in the same countries. And differences between capital cities and other places may differ in different countries. So it is not very representative for Europe as whole.

  • Sidebar Update: Civility
  • Valid point, but leaving thins as is does not seem like the optimal solution. Maybe the mods could occasionally post examples of removed spam/bot content, for transparency and awareness. Leaving this to random users can end with more mistakes and actual abuse.

    Also, the troll/bot comments and discussion around them will less disturbing outside of the intended context (where they were posted to cause disturbance or misinformation).

  • Company brought to its knees by a cable
  • no idea why

    Because it makes initial connection much slower. Dumb switch - you insert a cable and it works. STP-enabled switch: you insert a cable and it takes a while until the port is enabled (unless you do extra configuration, appropriate for your network topology). This is annoying and for inexperienced users it could seem like the switch 'does not work'. It is easier to sell a switch without such a feature enabled by default.
