They did not have better information. One of the engineers that worked on the Magic Mouse 2 responded to a thread on HN specifically about why the Magic Mouse 2 had the port on the bottom. Nothing they said disproves or contradicts that.

I am not sure. I haven't had an Apple Keyboard for years, just the mouse. I just know what the reason was when the Magic Mouse 2 was released.

Looks like the new ones have updated to an internal battery. Not sure why that's any different than the mouse. I'm just stating what was previously given as the reason for the port being on the bottom.

It has charging management circuitry but that doesn't prevent it from over-cycling if someone just leaves it plugged in all the time. All it does is bounce the charge from 98% to 100% repeatedly. Show me a single example of a piece of

If they can easily fix it, why has no one fixed it? It's an issue that's inherent with Lithium batteries. Heat and over-cycling shorten the overall lifespan of the battery. No one has figured out the solution to this yet.

What are you 'boom'-ing about? The keyboard has replaceable batteries. The mouse does not.

by dpkonofa 9y ago
The keyboard isn't rechargeable. The batteries are and you can remove the batteries and replace them. The mouse's battery is internal and cannot be replaced by the user.

They never tried to shut down unofficial repair shops and you're doing a disservice to the whole idea behind "right to repair" by saying that. The only thing Apple has publicly done is disagreed with and lobbied against the c

Since you can't adjust the volume of the speaker to a level where it would blow the speakers inside, when are you realistically going to NEED to repair this? I get that it's nice to have the comfort of thinking you're going

>like how the wireless magic mouse doesn't charge from the edge That's not at all true. The magic mouse charges from the bottom to discourage people from leaving it plugged in while they're using it which, as most people d

I get the point of what you're saying but, FYI, my Series 3 watch lasts 3 full days on a single charge. I typically wear it all day and then to bed for sleep tracking and then charge it for the hour or so that it takes me to shower, ge

ReFS was only ever made the default on new installs of Windows Server 2012. It never actually made it to production builds of Windows 8 or above so it's actually only installed on a fraction of the systems that are out there. That&#x27

I think it might be because they engineered their own solutions for decoding those. Licensing fees usually need to be paid out when you use the decoder made by the company. If you figure out the format and roll your own decoder, though, I t

I would normally agree with you here except that I've accidentally renamed files on Windows so many times only to lose them because something was in focus that I didn't intend to be. I use a combination of the mouse and keyboard w

This should be more prevalent too. The difference between children and adults is typically that children can process what's happening just as well as adults. They can't process the why behind it, though, so they take it at face

More than likely it's going to get ejected within the sun's gravity well and will slowly get pulled into the sun where it will cease to exist.

by dpkonofa 9y ago
The opposite. If there is evidence of life on Mars, even microbial life, we'd potentially be contaminating that life and, if it didn't kill it, it might create strains of bacteria that are resistant to anything on Earth. If that e

I think the article tells the opposite story. She's not necessarily entitled, just misinformed and mistaught. She's been taught to rely on pain meds instead of using them as a supplement to understanding the pain. I think it'

I'm excited for this but also, at the same time, a bit skeptical about what the target for this is. It looks like it could pair well with schools and places where many different kids get to try out different things. I don't really

You don't have to keep track of it. The OS will tell you when you have 10% left which is about 2 days of use and it quick charges in about 20 minutes to give you a month's worth of use. It's a non-issue. FWIW, the reason it&#

In this case, it is, though, because the security prompt to enable the kext in question doesn't have an "OK" button. It doesn't really offer a button to perform the action at all. It offers a shortcut to the System Prefe

Go to Apple and ask them to refund the difference. If you got it replaced at an Apple store, they'll have it all logged and will do this if it matches the issue being described.
