honestly who cares? charge it overnight once per week and you're fine.
focus on the actual problems, like the horrific ergonomics, planned obsolescence, or apple's war on right to repair.
It's purposeful. It's to force you to buy a new one.
A mouse with a normal charging cable placement can still be used by being plugged in when the battery goes dead.
This mouse, with the charging port on the bottom, becomes unusable once its battery goes dead.
No, it's because Apple hates it's customers and is happy to bilk them.
That said, they do make some very nice things, but participate in so much anti-consumer nonsense (not that that's any different from any other major corporation).

Israeli parliament approves bill to ban UN Palestinian refugee agency
The Israeli parliament has approved a controversial bill to ban the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), considered a lifeline for Gaza, from operating on Israeli territory.
The legislation, which won’t take effect immediately, risks collapsing the already fragile aid distribution process at a moment when the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is worsening, and Israel is under increased pressure to allow in aid supplies.
The vote passed 92-10 and followed a fiery debate between supporters of the law and its opponents, primarily members of Arab parliamentary parties.

I feel like this title is intentionally misleading, probably trying to draw parallels to the defacing of Stonehenge with orange powder.
They put orange high-vis vests on the statues. No damage was caused.
Giving the statues "an orange makeover" implies something a lot more permanent or at least harder to remove than high-vis vests. If someone tells you they "got a makeover", when in reality what they did was change their shirt, would you not think that was a little disingenuous?
I'm not being critical of you, or the protest, to be clear, I just think the title is a poor representation of what happened.

Wait, Standing Desks Might Be Bad For Your Health?
Wait, Standing Desks Might Be Bad For Your Health?
Did we all take the idea that standing is better than sitting for granted? Maybe standing desks aren't the solution to our health woes after all.Jack McNamara (Inverse)

Agree with this, especially about movement. Overall the main bad thing about regular desks and comfy chairs, is that you can sit at them without changing your posture for hours, which is bad for everything: blood circulation, posture, muscles, etc. "The best posture is your next one."
I work from the floor now mainly... it's cheap, portable, forces you to move, doesn't require anything besides maybe a few pillows and any coffee table or raised surface for a laptop.
TLDR: standing all day long can be worse than sitting, but alternating standing and sitting positions is very good for your health.
Standing desks have never been promoting standing all day imo, the title is pure clickbait. Standing desks are good for your health, just use them correctly.

Start slow! Do 5 crunches if that’s all it takes to few a burn. Catch your breath and do 2-5 more and then rest. Do stoplight runs and only run when you can. Rest/walk as needed.
The point is incremental increases in activity, you’ll get there so don’t rush and give yourself grace.
You can’t hit the ground ready to run a mile if you’re not used to running.

Second Washington Post writer quits over failure to back Kamala Harris
A second high-profile Washington Post columnist has stepped down after the newspaper’s decision not to support Kamala Harris for president, as more readers announced the cancellation of their subscriptions.
Michele Norris, an opinion contributor at the Post and the first Black female host for National Public Radio (NPR), called the non-endorsement a “terrible mistake”.
. . .
“In a moment like this, everyone needs to make their own decisions. The Washington Post’s decision to withhold an endorsement that had been written & approved in an election where core democratic principles are at stake was a terrible mistake & an insult to the paper’s own longstanding standard of regularly endorsing candidates since 1976.”
Norris follows in the footsteps of Robert Kagan, an editor-at-large who left the paper last week after its publisher and CEO, William Lewis, declared it would not endorse a candidate in the 2024 presidential race.
