I have the impression these are basically disposable. However logitec recently has created some relationship with ifixit so perhaps there is some chance to salvage them. Especially if you have a bunch of differently-broken devices hanging around.

The deft i have (not 100% sure of the model, isn't the "huge" one) has some things that annoy the heck out of me. But it seems nobody else minds these, so possibly ideosyncratic. The buttons are weird and small, like the right click iirc is about 5mm in width. My fingers dont happen to sit on the very narrow operable surface so it is so akward. I have no idea why make buttons like that. I find the scroll is inconsistent. And you need to replace the batteries.

If you are happy with the device you have no reason to buy more stuff. But if you need another one this is like half the price, is more comfortable and more functional. I think future is totally unknown tho; i am not optimistic about official support and so far its too new for even community information.

How do you find the right size and kind of bearing? I wanted to try changing the bearing on a previous device but couldnt info online.

I had one but it was unusable due to technical issues. Bad connection, scroll not working etc. The concept was great, it was very comfortable. I loved the giant ball, the small 3.5cm ones felt dinky afterwards. When it worked I liked it. Only thing is that it is not great to use it on the couch or something because it is so big and heavy it wants to be on a flat solid surface. More for a desk. Which is where a lot of people use pointing devices.

Before I saw the nulea products I was probably going to buy a slimblade which is a similar shape. The wireless version is barely available and very expensive in canada (iirc $150 or so) so was putting off hoping price would come down.

Maybe you could get a transluscent replacement ball. To get the full rgb experience. I am pretty sure the tracking can work with that?

Anyone running this kind of thing?

What the fuck the video starts there are 2 people squaring off. Zero mention of what happened prior or any curiosity. I see no reason to assume the man pictured was the agressor. What about the other guy?

I do not know about cat livers.

But my general personal opinion is that vets can tend to over investigate.

When you are getting into a series of tests for a cat (or for yourself), some good questions to ask are along the lines of:

• what will change depending on the outcome of this test?

• what would be the worst case scenario of not doing this test?

• what are the risks of running this test?

Sometimes questions like this have led the vet to explain there is basically nothing to be done regardless of findings and the reason for the test is "to know". If they suspect a diagnosis for which the treatment is $20k, and you will under no circumstance be able or willing to pay $20k, then there is effectively no treatment. So the real purpose of the test is to satisfy intellectual curiosity. If the test itself is expensive and/or uncomfortable for the animal, why bother?

If a likely outcome is more testing, then you need to keep digging. Endless investigations with no likely change in treatment is a service for the human to feel like they are doing the right thing, not a service for the cat to be more comfortable or healthy.

As an example, a cat developed a limp with no apparent discomfort for no known reason. He was an adventurous outdoor cat so some kind of injury was possible. I took the cat to the vet who found nothing on physical exam and xray. The vet wanted to then do a bunch of other imaging. When I learned what he thought could be going on, I read about the conditions. The treatment for those of which treatments even exist, is a very expensive (equivalent to several months of my take home income), invasive surgery with long recovery time. Complications always possible with such a procedure. You then have to do long term physical therapy to the cat. I am sure the cat in question would be miserable about all of this. And after all that, the chances that it will actually solve the problem are less than 50%. So therefore we elected to stop investigating.

I also dont underetand the tactic.

Couldnt anyone just start a single user instance and gain access that way?
