  • I don’t like the feeling of the cable dragging on the desk. Or the cable snagging on the monitor stand, or anything else on the desk.

    I also prefer the aesthetics of a wireless mouse. One less cable to manage. The charge cable is tucked away and only comes out every week or so to charge overnight.

    Yeah, my keyboard has a cable but my keyboard doesn’t move, and it’s a pretty sexy (and heavy) cable so it’s different than a mouse cable.

    As for latency, from what I understand in many cases a wireless mouse can have less latency than some wired mice. So that’s nice too.

    I guess the main downside is weight but that has never bothered me. That said, I’m not a competitive fps player, but even so some wireless mice are quite light.


  • I agree with everything except a wireless mouse. I have a magnetic usb “nub” that plugs into the mouse so when I need to charge it every couple of weeks it’s as simple as moving the mouse near enough the magnetic cable and it pops into place.

    For me, the benefits of a wireless mouse far outweigh the imperceptible-to-me lag from the 2.4ghz dongle 10cm away in clear view. The only downside I can see is the weight of the battery, but I’m not a competitive FPS player so I’m good.






  • Here is an AI generated summary.

    1. The host, C, tests various USB-C cables, including an original MacBook cable, a certified 240W Apple cable, and a Thunderbolt 4 cable.

    2. The original MacBook cable can handle up to 100W and operates at USB 2.0 speeds (480 Mbps).

    3. The original cable is identified as an active USB PD cable, capable of 20V and 5A, but lacks support for USB 3 or 4.

    4. The 240W rated cable also operates at USB 2.0 speeds and can handle up to 48V and 5A, indicating suitability for higher power delivery.

    5. Both cables are confirmed to be genuine Apple products with similar vendor IDs, and their condition is noted to be in good health.

    6. Limitations of the tested cables regarding data transfer capabilities are highlighted, while their charging potential is emphasized.

    7. The speaker discusses testing various Thunderbolt cables, confirming compatibility and correct functionality.

    8. Performance metrics for the Thunderbolt cables include a data speed of 40 Gbps and a charging power of 100 watts, with a warning about a “shorted pin.”

    9. The cables claim to support USB 4 capabilities, with technical details provided about voltage and amperage ratings.

    10. All tested cables are operational for charging a MacBook, though a more powerful charger and cable may be necessary for higher power demands.

    Well what’s nice is that any device on your Tailscale network has a WireGuard connection between any other device on that network. You can also use exit nodes. While all of that can be achieved with WireGuard, the complexity of that can grow quite large as you add more nodes.
