It would be nice if someone invented a mouse with a tiny motor inside, so I could put on sunglasses, rest my hand on the mouse, doze off, and still look like I'm working hard.
- swader999 5mo agoIt's called a wrist watch with a moving second hand. Just put your current mouse on top of that.
- smokel 5mo agoThe preferred solution actually moves my arm around a bit so that it works in a physical office. For remote work, there are so called "mouse jigglers" [1], but those do not require sunglasses to work. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouse_jiggler https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouse_jiggler
- bambax 5mo agoYeah but mouse jigglers 1/ have to be plugged in / occupy a USB port, 2/ usually don't turn off when LOGOFF, resulting in battery depletion and 3/ don't work on remote servers where you would want an RDP session to stay open but there are group policies that prevent it. I wrote a small C utility that avoids all 3 problems and now I couldn't live without it!
- DANmode 5mo agoThat’s neat, but they’re talking Weekend at Bernie’s style, in a physical office.

- pmg101 5mo agoAwesome AI startup idea. There's a camera in the glasses and a motor in the mouse. It watches your screen and moves the mouse to click on the right things at the right times. What are we doing about the keyboard though? Are we putting your arms on fine strings, marionette-style?
