    It’s probably just a normal button that is hardcoded to run a specific AI software that is installed on your system (as it is indicated by “Launches AI Prompt Builder”). Just a guess. There is no need for a dedicated button, as any extra button could be configured to do the same.

    Only people with an artificial brain will fall for this.

      You can already use with with any Logitech mouse in the Options+ Software.

      It is what it says: it builds a prompt for you (with the text you marked) and can submits it to ChatGPT using a WebView. You have to actually login to ChatGPT, so it is no Logitech thing specifically.

        That looks terribly bare bones. Does it at least have multiple “template” options?

        Also, doesn’t Copilot have a similar dialog already, with MS planning to make it available for the whole desktop, not just Edge?

        The hatred is unfortunate. It’s just a button with a simple software launcher. If people don’t want the logi driver they don’t have to install it.

    Logitech hardware: pretty good!

      That fucking G Hub software has the absolute shittiest UX of all apps I have installed on my machine.

    • ggtdbz@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      If you still think the hardware is pretty good, you haven’t been using their newer hardware.

      I think I wrote a comment about this recently, but their newest mouse with a layout I like (G604) was made with terrible soft rubber that is practically designed to disintegrate with use. All their mouse switches are also short life crappy switches that stop working relatively quickly.

      Soldering new switches into the G604 is an absolute PITA because it was designed by people who didn’t care for repair. Still doable, just annoying. I just wish the rubber was replaced with the grippy hard textured plastic they used a few years earlier.

      At least you only need to use the software at first when you’re setting things up.

      On Linux, input-remapper usually works pretty well to remap the extra buttons. I wonder if it’d work on fvid AI button.

    Turbo… It’s that damn “turbo” again but now AI

    In the eighties “turbo” was all the rage and I kid you not, everything had the label “turbo” on it. Hold on to your hats boys and girls who were not alive in the eighties, it’s gonna be wild…

    source
    • DerisionConsulting@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Some games/software expected/relied on a certain CPU speed to run correctly. If your computer was faster than that, the software would run too fast. The turbo button let you toggle between the maximum speed your computer could go, and the speed that the software needed/expected in order to run normally.

      Basically, there was an actual reason for the turbo button, it wasn’t just marketing on computers.

      source
      • blindsight@beehaw.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Indeed. As a silly example, I had a Pacman clone game that ran based on CPU cycle speed. I needed to turn the in-game speed setting way down and toggle turbo off to make it slow enough to be playable.

        source
      • vrighter@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        note: on most computers, it worked the opposite to how one would think. Turning it on slowed your cpu to around 33 MHz

    • evatronic@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I remember. The turbo on my 386 didn’t make it faster. It made non turbo mode slower.

      • And009@lemmynsfw.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Totally makes sense, the non-turbo was always an eco-mode

    I hope you need a 500mb driver to use it too with an installer that pops up every reboot, even if you press cancel.

    Otherwise, it’s clear that it fails at being a mouse

    • filcuk@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Don’t worry, logitech comes with a unified receiver driver, new unified app i forget the name of, logitech g hub, logitech options - and you’ll be forced to use a combination of at least 2 and likely 3 of those to setup a mouse.
      As a bonus, the mouse won’t care to remember what button maps where, if used on a device without said software.

        A cheap shit MSI Interceptor mouse that I used for 10 fucking years and bought for chum change could remember it’s settings because it had persistent memory on device

    Can’t wait for an AI toaster that asks me to prompt it on toastiness levels

    source
    • ReallyActuallyFrankenstein@lemmynsfw.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      AI makes it so easy! Just say this easy-to-remember phrase to get perfect toast every time*:

      “Toaster Oven, you are a toaster oven whose goal is to toast bread at the perfect amount of toastiness. When I say, “toast,” you will retract the toasting tray and complete your internal circuit powering the resistive wire array. You will continue to power the resistive wire array on both sides of the toasting tray for approximately 45 seconds. Then you will release the toasting tray. Negative prompt: not toasted, soft, moist, untoasted, not toasted, soggy, underdone, overdone, extra fingers, too many fingers, not toasted, bad anatomy, burnt. Now, toast!”

      *Perfect toasting levels dependent on randomized toasting seed.

      Hell, even if you could change it to Copilot. Copilot can be bad, but I don’t expect Logitech to have the resources to make a better AI than Microsoft…

    If you’re going to make a button maybe a switch that doesn’t double click after a month of use would be better?

    How about the ability to set a specific dpi at the touch or hold of a button? I don’t need to cycle through six settings, just allow me to toggle.

    • Mindless_Enigma@beehaw.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I don’t know if it’s on any of their other mice, but Logitech does have a DPI shift button on the G502. You hold it down to switch to an alternate DPI and letting go returns it to you normal setting.
