The Bluetooth works reliably with my computer as far as I can tell, though I do not game.
The only issue I have is that the Bluetooth occasionally does not connect when the laptop (Mac) is sleeping. This issue also applies to the Bluetooth keyboard, so I do not think it is a flaw in the trackball. When this happens, I have to wake the laptop up with the physical keyboard and occasionally go to settings to get the laptop to sync to the Bluetooth devices.
The Kensington is the cue ball sized one and I agree that it is superior to the Logitech. I only use the Logitech because the UR receiver works fairly well with the KVM. The Kensington does Bluetooth or proprietary dongle, but I use it in Bluetooth mode with my computer.
I would love to find a KVM that connects a Bluetooth trackball and keyboard with USB going from the KVM to the computers.
I have a Kensington Bluetooth trackball that is awesome. I also have a Logitech trackball that connects over the Logitech URâ"my only complaint is that the keyboard misbehaves occasionally with the console switch.
My biggest frustration is when I have to use a computer that only has a mouse.

Will systemd extinguish emacs when an editor is implemented or will emacs kill systemd by adding an init feature? Which one will evolve into an operating system first?
Iâ(TM)m not sure if broadcast TV will go the same way as radio. I frequently hear people (of the non-technical variety) talking about how they have dumped cable and are using an antenna. While they may be willing to pay for Netflix or Amazon, paying for CBS Now isnâ(TM)t as appealing when they can watch for free. When I point out that the TiVo OTA version does not have a monthly subscription, they usually plan buying one.
IANAL, but I don't think the property owners gave up any rights--they did not have the rights to begin with. Property ownership in the United States is fee simple. Under fee simple, the property owner does not have ultimate ownership and the state has a superior claim (allodial title).
Ditto. I had a rodent munch through one of the spark plug cables. Started the car and it was running rough. Plugged in the code scanner and got a misfire on cylinder X code. Opened the hood and saw the broken cable. IIRC, two other cables were also damaged but the conductor was intact.
I do not think legalizing prostitution will stop sex trafficking. Even in Amsterdam, which has legal prostitution, still has sex trafficking problems (one example https://nltimes.nl/2017/05/18/...).
That is what happens when you outsource a basic business function like collecting revenue.
Similarly, content creators complaining about Googleâ(TM)s YouTube or Facebook policies should rethink their decision on where they host content.
You expect people should comply with the GPL and movie/music copyright holders should adjust.
If you support the GPL then you should support how a copyright holder chooses to distribute their work. On the other hand, if you believe piracy is an acceptable response to restrictive distribution then you should support GPL violations.
Many people will argue that piracy is acceptable and that the GPL should always be enforced.
So, where should society draw the line?
1) Got drunk and hurt yourself?
2) Got injured while riding a motorcycle or bicycle without a helmet?
3) Got an STD while having unprotected sex?
4) injured during a protest?
You seem to be onto something. Shifting the workforce to India (which lowered costs) and revenue is still declining. Perhaps IBM should see reassess the cause for declining revenue.
Isnâ(TM)t the definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result?
Considering that Google makes around $90 billion/year, 0.000000000000000001% will be less than $1/month. I don't think you will get much vetting for less than $1/month.
Roku is much better than any of the smart tvs that I have come across. I did not even setup the smart functions on the tv I bought--I use a roku instead.
I find the UI much easier to use on the roku and I trust Roku more than any of the tv manufacturers.
Because it is the ethical thing to do. Unfortunately, it appears that ethics is secondary to entertainment and being entertained has become a fundamental human right.
Spot on. While it is usually a good idea to outsource non-core functions, IT has become a core function for almost all large businesses. If you do not have control over your IT with an organic (n.b. not the health food organic) workforce, you do not have control over your business.
I would assert that outsourcing IT only makes sense for a small business (e.g. a doctor's office, family restaurant).

Is it April 1st? I guess if homeopathic quackery can be sold, anything is possible.

and yet the actions of Google and Amazon are just as bad.

Much rather have a paywall with no ads than having a page full of ads. Alas, for many sites even if you pay, you still get ads.

Surely you jest! The pinnacle state for any software package is having an email client functionality.
Agree. There many environments where one cannot install apps from the Windows Store even if it is free. I use Windows Paint quite regularly for work.
