    From the article:

    “Subscription models have been gaining popularity among business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) tech companies because they offer a more reliable, recurring revenue source than hardware sales.”

      Well, I reckon I’ve been using the same $15 mouse for close to a decade now and it still works fine. If it stops working I’d much rather just buy another $15 mouse than have another goddamned bill to pay every month

        at this point you can probably make your own mouse with a microcomputer, a sensor, and some suguru or whatever.
