Can you stop?

It takes 5 minutes to charge. It tells you hours in advance. Take a break and charge it. If you want a cabled mouse, just get a $5 cabled mouse.


> Or please tell me how to use the magic mouse while it's charging? Am I just holding it wrong?

is that really a deal-breaking decision to buy an iMac? Yeah, sure, I agree it's super silly design that they put the port under the mouse; but c'mon, does it really matter?

As far as I can tell, I have never had to explain to my 61 year old Indian mother how to use a Mac as much as I have had to debug every little thing on Windows PCs. Macs & Apple products _truly_ do "just work"


How can you say "does it really" matter to something as stupid as the chargig port under the mouse? It's in-your-face, outrageously bad design and very much in line with "not just works".

It's one thing to pay a comparative fortune for a mouse that's got mostly looks going for it; it's another to have to uproot your work/free time because your mouse ran out of batteries and you didn't routinely charge it like a phone overnight.

Yes, of course it matters. It matters because it's dumb and we pay the dumbness price. People paying for it regardless is the reason it continues the way it is.


Can you read? I guess not, because I literally even wrote that it's a great OS?

It just doesn't just work and has issues. That doesn't mean that windows or Linux dont have issues. They do, they all have their warts and that's fine. But that makes the slogan "it just works" idiotic.

It has the by far best vertical integration with the least issues switching devices, sure.

That still doesn't make "it just works" a reality, because that's an unachievable pipedream!
