Review: Logitech Marathon M705 - AKA, More (Computer) Mouse Madness

Yep, this is another mouse review, and about nine months. I have a tendency to move around a lot with my mind, and I end up dropping them a bit. So my Anker mouse can't really take a drop. The scroll wheel is busted to the point where I have to scroll multiple times to go down once - before it pops back up. But now, I have this; The Logitech Marathon M705; @runtcpip varies a little with other opersting systems but you're smart you can figure it out. runtcpip.com #techhelp ♬ original sound - runtcpip I teach people simple computer stuff over on TikTok. When I plugged the USB dongle into my MacBook Pro, Apple immediately decided it was a keyboard for reasons unknown.  I specifically wanted a Mouse with a USB dongle, because I do not like having my Bluetooth on all the time. That is a vector for attack. Then again, everything is a vector for attack, but I just like having a dongle there because my Bluetooth is going to be off 97.54% of the time. My MacBook needs a Apple US...

Animal Crossing: New Horizons 2.0 Update

The long-stagnant game has finally returned - And this time, it's actually finished.  Let's look at a little at what's arrived! Photog Fabulous The new camera features and filters are so fun. I love the eye-level view and being able to turn the camera on its axis. Which axis? You tell me. Fun fact; As I don't have Nintendo Online right now*, I sent these images to my smartphone via QR codes and a closed, ad-hoc network. Much easier than sending 4 at a time to my private Twitter and saving them. * ( Hint: Buy the Happy Home Paradise DLC before you buy the Nintendo Online Premium service; Then you have a copy to play with after your membership expires, as opposed to it being a 'feature' of the membership you can lose ) There are also neat new filters in the in-game camera: The first (surveillance) and third (retro) are definitely new.   Coffee Break Brewster is finally back! One of my favorite pastimes in New Leaf was running to the beach where I had placed The...

The Book I Need at 27 is One I Read at 11

If you were a child during the early to mid 2000s or worked in Children's Publishing, you quickly learned the names of some notable protagonists. Harry, Percy, Artemis. Darren, Eragon, Charlie[1]. All guys, all pale, all magical. It wasn't a new type of fantasy-novel hero, but one that really ran amok during that time. [1] If, somehow, you don't know: Harry Potter (wizards), Percy Jackson and The Olympians (myths, with many spinoffs to match), Artemis Fowl (Fae), The Saga of Darren Shan (vampires), Eragon (high fantasy), and Charlie Bone (which is a little harder to describe). There is, however, one book series that was never quite as popular as any of the above: A lonely child who threw himself into his work of becoming a great magician, in an alternate universe of magical London, where one can summon demons.  Underestimated and scorned by his master, he works hard to master his studies in secret, after constantly being punished for his curiosity. After a pot...

I'm the Admin, she's the Critic (Ft. Myself)

I thought long and hard about letting more people know about my media review blog. What if employers don't like it? What if it costs me a position? Then I realized; It's not much more outlandish than what I say on LinkedIn clearly, under my own name. Maybe the truth, or, my version of it, will be more palatable next to a movie poster of a cartoon animal. If you're a sensitive sort, there are a few swears here or there. You'll notice that there aren't any on this blog, employers. I can keep it professional if need be. What if people enjoy it? Even privately. That's fine. What if it gets me a position I enjoy? I've been hearing nothing but no's for 3 years now keeping this thing under wraps anyway. So, welcome to Screendom Come . There's still tidying and editing going on for some of the older works, but feel free to read (& share with people at the major studios, Variety, Atom Tickets, THR, all of that). I'll still be pos...

Let A Mouse Teach You About Computers; Teacher's Pet Chip

Here's a fun, tech-related little fellow that I've had for years; Chip! He has googly eyes too. A little plush mouse that opens up to be a pocket guide to computers! Written by Dee Wood. Illustrated by Andy Peters. I wonder if they still write and illustrate? If you can see the copyright, it says 2000. I was 7 in 2000, and probably bought this at a Scholastic Book Fair, as it includes 2 things I love to this day - Computers and rodents. This thing is almost 20 years old, and I've kept it all that time.
