Perhaps worth pointing out that the attacks require the attacker to position a piece of hardware between the Qi charger and the power source.

That’s a really interesting answer - it all makes sense that those things can be irritating, and also why I had no idea about them:

For years I have had my applications and windows (IDE, tabbed console, browser(s)) set up in fixed positions. I rarely switch between them in a way which isn’t a keyboard shortcut (99% command-tab) or involves the mouse anyway (for testing, or video calls). I never normally move windows between screens or anything like that in my workflow.

In the good and very old days I literally just had emacs maximised and that was it, all day long 😇

I guess I got lucky in a sense - that not needing functionality meant I wasn’t affected by it being missing, but it might partly be a positive side effect of desiring simplicity and less from the WM so I can focus on my own things.

It sucks completely if you try to use it in different way so if you don’t like magic mouse (which sucks) and don’t like using their laptop keyboard (which sucks) and touchpad you will not enjoy it.

This isn’t true for me. I use the same (cheap Logitech) mouse with Win11, Linux, and my MBPs. What’s meant to be the issue? It’s just like every other setup I’ve used in the last 30 years.

I just got an M2 MBP. In my personal experience it is very much not “shit”.

Expensive and a PITA to fix? Quite possibly.
