This was outside an immigration facility and not a result of the supposed doxing.

Same here. Easily one of the worst parts of AI in my personal life. They don't even know about en dashes :(

I completely agree with your sentiment. Its basically Right to Repair's cousin! Fortunately, there is still time!

Worse, it's distracting.

Do you find the natsec argument to be compelling considering:

This is something I've wanted to do for a while! I wish Samsung still produced their 55" 8K displays-- 8k @ 55" gives you effectively the same PPI as a 27" 4K display. Maybe someday.

Cool project! This post also appears to be the second result on google when searching "vercel app" (as of +7 hours from your post), which I also found interesting.

I wasn't aware of Roccat! sounds like what I'm after, especially without the gamer aesthetics. The Roccat Nyth looks close to what I'm after, but I'm pretty married to my muscle memory with using 4x3 buttons (of which are all in use, in both layers).

Because it is possible with G-Hub, I was just curious if anyone knew what the gap is between SteerMouse's support and G-Hub's support for the seamless G-Shift/shift key experience. I don't know enough about hardware to make a guess.

I'm 100% fine with using a separate OS to config the mouse, since my layout is not app specific. Despite the button layout difference, this will definitely be the mouse I try out next.

Haha, of course!

So when you click a button on the G600 (and most other mice with side buttons), the button fires when you press down, just like the Mouse 1 or Mouse 2 button. On the G600, there is a third click button to the right of the right click, which is called G-Shift. When pressed, all of the side buttons have secondary assignments. Since you have to hold G-Shift to access this other layer, the macros are often referred to as chords in mouse customization software like Steermouse, since it requires two buttons to fire.

To configure this, you need the G-Hub software, which is in a nightmarish state on macOS. To get around this, I use Steermouse. Steermouse lets me get around this, however with one trade off. If a side button has two assignments (one when pressed by itself, another when pressed with the G-Shift), then the button does not actually fire when its pressed, but instead fires when the button is depressed/let go of. I imagine this is just how Steermouse handles buttons which have more than one assignment.

I haven't found a suitable replacement that is as robust as steermouse. Its one of the first apps I install on my mac, but this is one killer feature that I've only found in the G-Hub app.

I have used SteerMouse for years after giving up on the dumpster fire that is Logitech's G-HUB for macOS for my G600, which has 12 side buttons + a the G-Shift button which when held acts a modifier for additional macros.

My issue with SteerMouse is that when creating chord macros, it forces the original macro to only work when depressed, rather than activating upon press.

I haven't been able to find a suitable replacement. Curious if anyone here on HN has worked around this in any way?

> The argument is basically that for the average US national, mass surveillance and propaganda by US tech is more of an issue.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this track 100% with the bills stated intent: to prevent foreign adversaries from having this kind of influence?

I don't think the US is making an argument that data collection, surveillance, and propaganda are bad and then selectively only choosing to enforce these ideals on China. I think the US is making the argument that a company which belongs to an adversary and operates an a domain that is out of bounds from US regs/enforcement is a NatSec issue.
