An engineer hacked Apple’s infamous Magic Mouse to make it more user-friendly, ergonomic, and overall less annoying. Ivan Kuleshov is the said engineer, and he has also hacked the Apple Mac Mini in the past to be powered over Ethernet.

    Because it cannot be used while charging, so remedied that oversight/built-in ridiculousness.

      It’s not an oversight, it’s a willful decision from Apple.

      “We decided using our devices while charging ruins the magic of it all being wireless, etc. so we made the unilateral decision to stop you from doing that even if you don’t give a fuck (like a normal human) about it being wireless all the time, always. This is the way we already decided you need to use Apple products so that it feels ‘futuristic’ and all other opinions are objectively wrong.”

      Apple is no better than Microsoft, they both love making decisions for you.
