If moving a mouse around kills the cable, then the cable is the problem.
isn’t the “advantage” of MagSafe to move a phone around in use while it’s charging ?
lots of mice charge from the front. They don’t kill their cables.
Got a tip for us?

Ive's problem was no one reigned him in. He got to design some of the most outstanding products, but then kept going. The keyboard was a tweaked mess. They went for thin and light, and didn't think about longevity.
iPad's that were anorexic, bending. iPhones that were flexing in general use, and failing due to mistakes in internal design leading to shorted and detached chips. But they were thinner...
The ultimate solution would have been to use Qi charging. I mean, the answer should have been burning through the minds of the designers. Make it so there was a 'mouse pad', where the thing could hang out from time to time, and charge. Also, putting indicator LEDs under the mouse surface, say at the back end, that would show charge status, and give *some* indication of what the mouse is going through. Having no way to know what the mouse status is, is rather interesting. Like just yesterday, I happened to check the Bluetooth applet and found out that both my keyboard and mouse were hovering just over 10% charge. Had I not checked, they would have freaked out, and potentially died when I need them. It's crazy...
Maybe a Jony Ive Ferrari would not have a gas gauge. You would have to sync with your iMac to get the current fuel status. Imagine being miles (hundreds?) of miles away, and run out of gas. In a Ferrari. Have to call road service. Have to walk to a gas station to get a gas can and walk back to get enough go juice to get to fuel it up. That would add to the Ferrari Owner Experience for sure.
Many of the 'performance cars' are just pain. Most don't have air conditioning. Many really have no usable trunk space. Many also barely hold two people. If you are made to 'go fast', almost everything is on the chopping block. I had heard of a car,decades ago, that had side windows that didn't go down. It saved on the mechanism, and who would ever need a window to go down anyway. What a weird thing, to have to get out to get your mail. But if you have a car that costs that much, I'm sure you have people that will get your mail for you.
I was a +1 at a conference, and overheard someone crowing about their Prowler. They then said their wife hates it, because it's uncomfortable, and doesn't have air conditioning. They were going away for a weekend, and the wife shows up with three bags, and was pissed because there wasn't enough room for them. Yeah, so they took 'her car'. A BMW, with an actual trunk. The problems of the rich...
If the Mac Pro Wheels cost $700, you can imagine how much the wheels on a Ferrari will cost
With brakes or without?
Jokes are supposed to be funny, with an amount of droll cleverness in play. What I see are lame hackneyed high school-level retreads from years ago.
That looks like they pilfered from Ian callums. The b pillar and rear quarters are unmistakeably Jaguar f type
Haha, well...
As funny as that comment was, I read that Cadillac dealers don't want to sell electric cars because it would cost them a lot of money to upgrade their facilities to accommodate electric cars. The article didn't explain WHAT the expenses were for, so it's possible it's a PR response from dealers not wanted to muddy their brand to the gas-sniffing luddites, lol.
Same with Apple.
I recall reading a comment when the iPhone first launched that it would be the end of Apple. Boy was that person wrong.
Same with the first version of Mac OS X, and The first iPod, and the first iPad.
The iPad, when it first was announced in January 2010, was one of the most hated products I’ve ever seen. I mean, MagSafe Duo and the AirPods Max are getting a lot of hate, but that hate is child’s play compared to what the original iPad got.

I was going to say, I thought the entire reason that Ive left Apple was “entirely” because he was bored with the Business aspects of the company.
Obviously all we have is speculation, but I recall reading an article, with a source who worked with Ive, who basically said that the Apple Watch was his last big project, and he was the one that insisted there be a $10,000 18K gold version of it, and after the Apple Watch came out, he basically gave up. He stopped going to business meetings, he would skip days of work, and he just overall got bored of designing iPhones and iPads and laptops. He left Apple, because he was sick of the business aspect of it, and he had a very huge lack of creativity.
Becoming the CEO of Ferrari would literally put him in the exact same position that he had been in Apple, restricted by corporate and business pressures.
If he really wants to design cars where he can have a huge amount of freedom, the company he should be going to is Tesla.
Sorry, didn’t realise we were dealing with the self-appointed sherif of comedy and internet jokes. Please identify yourself next time so we can show you the proper respect you deserve.
