I have no idea what I'm seeing here.

[–] Sinkbath@lemmy.today 62 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It’s an apple Magic Mouse and its new battery backup.

[–] FUCKRedditMods@lemm.ee 24 points 1 year ago (3 children)

The possessive of “it” is just “its”

“It’s” is short for “it is” like “you’re” for “you are”

I’m not trying to be rude—just want to be helpful. I used to incorrectly use it’s the same way.

[–] Cyanity@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So did they write "its" or "it's"? Because the comment is currently correct.

You get a reluctant sidevote from me

No, it's not fixed.

and it's new...

[–] NightAuthor@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think they just wanted to use its wrong

[–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

What about it's wrong?

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 4 points 1 year ago

Downvoters must have hated being in school. Rude teachers correcting grammar all day...

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But for Henry's it's still apostrophe s. Because that makes sense.

[–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

Its is a possessive pronoun. His, hers, theirs, and its, not hi's, her's, their's, and it's.

A mouse that can only charge if placed upside down, or in rare 3rd party charging carriages. Apple making things nice, neat and simple as they usually do.

[–] PlatinumSf@pawb.social 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

iPhone 15 pro USB C charging a Apple Magic mouse (lightning port located on the bottom).

(lightning port located on the bottom).

Wow. And I thought I had seen bad design before. It's rare to have a wireless device that is entirely disabled when charging.

[–] SkinnyTimmy@lemm.ee 20 points 1 year ago

It's so people don't just leave the cable in so it always looks clean and slick.

...fucking hell

like a turtle flipped onto it's shell.

[–] SquiffSquiff@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Its belly baking in the hot sun

[–] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t, Leon, not without your help.

[–] clearedtoland@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Steve Jobs is seething right now…

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks, this post reminded me to charge my mouse before I forget and find it dead tomorrow when I actually need it.

[–] reallynotnick@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It only needs like a 3min charge to get through a work day, so it's not completely terrible if you do forget at least.

[–] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

there's a dead mouse! get rid of it

That's not even all of the bullshit.

In every other mouse the sensor is at the center of the body. On magic mouse the sensor is at the front under your fingers as you can see in the OP thumbnail.

That makes it very hard to adapt to when you're coming off of other mice. When you're moving the mouse you better not slightly rotate it out of habit and ergonomics because the cursor will move weird.

I really tried giving it a shot because I like apple gestures. They work fabulously well on the trackpad. The magic mouse is garbage in every category really.

I have been using LogiTech mice since 1994 and I don't intend to stop until I'm dead.

If LogiTech goes bankrupt, I will spend the rest of my life buying used mice.

[–] superterran@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Logitech definitely doesn't deserve this level of brand loyalty but I basically feel the same way
