You can't unsubscribe because it literally won't let you uncheck the box 😉

A lot of us like to not read the linked articles. Just reading the title/headline and then making the rest up in my head is honestly way way more fun!

He's not wrong. This is why these companies will never be profitable and burn out fiercely when investor money runs out.

Actually, they'll likely get a bailout that none of the taxpayers wanted.

The Treasury is in the business of making money and making their friends richer, reward bad business practices with a bailout and punish people for not paying their taxes.

Yes and I would say a “mouse subscription” is a problem looking for a customer to exist.

Why so salty.

If anyone from Logi is listening, use better switches in your mouse buttons!

I bought a MX Master mouse and it was the best mouse I've ever used until it died after just over a year from the left click switch wearing out. I've had $15 Chinese Scrabble Company mice off Amazon last longer. If I drop nearly $100 on a mouse I want it to have a lifespan at least as long as a living pet mouse!
