I don't know that there are standards these days. As often as I get shoddy products that then force me to interface with CSR...

I'm not saying right, or wrong, but wouldn't known battery issues be the domain of the manufacturers? Sincerely strange that there has been no standard set up seeing as his so much of the foundation of the Internet depends on Linux machines. Did no manufacturer consider this? Seriously? Not trying to fight, but if dead battery truly is an issue... Seems odd.
As shoddy as the QC has been lately, I'm sure they have their consumer base to worry about. I bought a gray lift ergo mouse. Left click stopped working properly after about 3 weeks. Bought a cheaper, legit 3-button with a wheel also. Adjustable, rechargeable cordless. Works wonderfully after a month.
Not ground covering, but new ground. If you want a say, then you have to take on personal responsibility. Or move. Either way, you choose to not look behind the curtain. Enjoy Stepford.
So. We have been making plastic for something like 75 years now. We have been recycling for about half that. Have the recycling plants ramped up to anywhere near the level of plastic production? What precisely is the point of this?
