    But also, if you want that, loads of mice have a bunch of buttons you can assign to pretty much anything you want.

            Who the f. has time to manage all these bills, apps, accounts… What’s next, 2FA to sit around for an app to update, so you can sit through a “what’s new” tutorial to unlock a pen just so you can write something down, all for the “convenience” of not having to run out of ink?

            You know what people with money and no time do? They buy 20 dumb pens and then just toss one in the trash when it runs out.

            The intersection between people who have money to burn and patience to deal with tech bullshit is extremely small.

            The parodies write themselves now.

      Or a keyboard shortcut.

      My keyboard cost £10 with a mouse. The keyboard has 104 keys and I would expect it to last at least 5 years. That’s £0.02 per key per year. To be competitive, a subscription model for an AI button needs to be less than £0.00333 per month.

      Really? Anything??? Can I assign it to bring me self esteme to see myself as worthy of finding happyness? Or will I just remain the same piece of garbage I was before I bought this stupid mouse?

      Ya know what? I’m just gonna sleep in the dumpster again. Hopefully this time the garbage men don’t notice me, and compact it down.

        If you can automate your happiness with an .ahk script, I don’t see why not!

        I mean probably not worth the risk of messing it up, but you could have an automated IV dispense SSRIs or MDMA and then assign that to a mouse button.

        There’s definitely a less Rube Goldberg way of achieving the same outcome without a mouse at all though

            The former is a pretty good class of medication targeting the chemical imbalance that causes your issue. The later is better known as ecstacy or molly.
