Damage control.
This is like the lover who says “wouldn’t it be crazy if you and me had a threesome with your best friend”? Then claims not to be serious when the idea is rejected.
Good because the entire idea is completely idiotic.
“No, just kidding”
“no plans” We’re just awfully close and intend to make plans. Fucking hate when CEOs talk, can’t believe anything at face value. Lying sacks of shit.
Anymore
How about an AI mouse. It would learn if you’re lefty or righty and it would tell glove manufacturers. It would read your pulse during stressful situations to find patterns and let other companies know when to best sell you shit. Yeah lots of benefits!
Absolutely fucking not
“her”.
And there you have it.
I would love to see more movement on an open source mouse. I know there are some options out there but it seems like nothing has really stuck.
With 3d printing and the RP2040, these should be more abundant.
I’m sure it probably comes down to the sensors available, but I’d love for someone like Adafruit to offer options.
The Ploopy is pretty popular.
Oof, no bluetooth. Has to be cabled!
All the promo pictures are cabled. I don’t have a Ploopy myself, but to me they look like they all use a cabled connection.
I’m still replacing switches on my stupid Logitech MX (faulty design that’s been going for many years) but once it’s dead for good I will switch over to the Ploopy thumb trackball in a heartbeat.
I really like the look of the Ploopy Classic. I use an Elecom Huge, and I love it. I grew up with a Logitech TrackMan Marble (the old school one, not the ambidextrous one) and I loved it. So the Elecom Huge is like a modern version of that old classic, and it’s great for office and daily use - not so much for gaming though.
But what about an AI mouse?
Eh, the mouse itself just has a dedicated button to launch something, that’s not so bad.
It would have been a better option to set it up so you could launch almost any program with it, but oh well.
Wow, a mouse with an extra button that can only be used to launch some process which opens up a window to ChatGPT. What a great use of AI!

Sort of like how excited Wendy’s was to offer surge pricing, until 2 days later when they suddenly had “no plans to ever implement surge pricing, what’re yall talkin’ 'bout?”
Logi CEO: “Heh, yeah, well you know, there is a rich tradition of tech companies pranking the public with silly, unexpected practical jokes on April 1.”
“But sir, it’s August.”
“Oh, well I guess that’s what makes it so unexpected, heh. Yeah. Unless you want a mouse subscription? No? Oh, just forget that I asked - that was, ah, part of the joke. Apr- August Fools!”
So it sounds like they did have plans, or at least ideas, for it but are now backtracking after the 100% deserved backlash.
every company brainstorms at some point and come up with a few good and a lot of bad ideas;
it doesn’t make it any closer to being a reality, the only difference is that this was made public.
This idea is so bad it should not have even been brought up
We have subscription services in cars now.
I’m betting it’ll happen either way.
It’s a fucking stupid future.
Exactly–and someone had to make the unpopular decision to announce it and weather the first round of criticisms. They also will be the first to profit from said stupid idea when they roll it out and the dumbs line up to buy it for fomo reasons or whatever
My car has 6 or 7 subscriptions I believe? I lost count.
Weird, my Tesla has 0.
Looks like tesla offers a premium subscription for most things and a separate one for the fancy cruise control… So I assume you have an old model or your being a troll?
Just because they exist don’t mean I have them.
And this is one reason why I hate modern cars. But then again, there’s no alternative, and that sucks.
there’s no alternative
Older cars?
Maybe for now, but there’s fewer and fewer around. In ten-twenty years time it will be hard to find a 90s car with reasonable mileage.
Some ideas are so bad you make sure they never get released
They were running it by to see if the host will accept the parasite. They will be back folks
The new CEO had the beginning of an idea in an interview. The interviewer tried to push back while still keeping the interview going, but it became messy real quick.
Same thing happened earlier this year with Wendy’s new CEO. His brilliant plan to make a name for himself was rolling out dynamic pricing. After days of well deserved backlash Wendy’s had to come out and walk it back while insisting they had never planned to use this to do lunch/dinner surge pricing.
Isn’t that what pizzerias and such often do, though, to get more customers in throughout the day? Where I live, a pizza for lunch is often like 20-40% cheaper than a pizza for dinner, and I think that’s actually alright.
If that’s the new CEO’s first idea, good luck, Logitech.
Patel: I’m going to ask this very directly. Can you envision a subscription mouse?
Faber: Possibly.
It was so bad Nilay Patel had to apologize (semi-seriously) about causing a news cycle about a mouse.
They were just throwing it out to gauge reaction. They won’t give up on the idea just yet.

Still 1000% have those plans, they are just going to get quiet about them externally for a bit longer now.
Yep, that’s what I like to call a soft release
Trial balloon.
This one happened to be made of lead.
