Razer Brings Back Left-Handed Computer Mouse to Address Disabled Gamers

Razer has revived the company’s left-handed computer mouse in response to demand from disabled gamers and southpaw users.

On Thursday, the company announced the Razer Naga Left-Handed Edition, which is now up for sale for $99.99. The device has been ergonomically designed to fit the grip of a left hand, offering better comfort and feel, especially for players of massively multiplayer online games.

Razer previously discontinued the 2014 version of the product, citing low demand. Although the vendor ended up selling thousands of left-handed mice over the years, Razer actually ships the same amount of right-handed mice in a single day, according to company CEO Ming-Liang Tan.

“A left hand mouse requires significant investment —it's not as easy as just flipping the design over....

I presume many on our board are familiar with this dot-net website. Unfortunately, sometime in the past year, MacOS' new security 'features' make d/ling its content impossible.

Doesn't work on 10.13 or 10.12. i'm hoping someone here is running an OS older than these to see if they can get any successful d/l.

I've been using M-T-D for a really long time to keep all my third party software updated.

TIA!

2020 MacBook Pro / Thunderbolt 2 dock

Hi everyone,

I just purchased a new MacBook Pro and I'm hoping someone can help me out with a connectivity and compatibility question.

I've been using a 2014 MacBook Pro along with an Elgato Thunderbolt 2 dock for ages now—the dock connects my 2014 MBP to speakers, an external (Dell) display and my external hard drive, so that I can use one cord to power my entire desktop setup.

I was hoping I might be able to keep using the dock with the 2020 MBP as well, but I'm wondering if it's simply obsolete now. Would a Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter daisy-chained to the dock (which uses a Thunderbolt 2 cable from dock to computer) still work, or is that not possible?

I have a USB C to Mini Displayport cable that doesn't seem to work at all, and would rather not invest in a Thunderbolt 2 to Thunderbolt 3 adapter if it's incompatible. And I would really like to not have to invest another $300 in an upgraded dock...

Any help would be super appreciated!

Apple audio book not syncing position across devices

I was gifted a few audio books last week. I started listening to one at work on Saturday on my iMac running Mojave. I packed up for the day and was in my car and wanted to continue on listening through my iPhone 11. When I play the book it starts right at the beginning, it has not synced the location from iTunes.

In iTunes "sync playback information across devices" is selected in preferences. Am I missing something here? Audio book played in iTunes on my iMac, wanted to continue on my iPhone playing through books app as I could not find my audio book in music.

Audible does this so well and what I normally use. I am hoping there is something I need to select to get these synced.

Anyone know this song and who did it?

I’m having a senior’s moment here. I’m trying to remember a song by a 1960s Toronto ( I think ) band. I can’t remember the band’s name but, to paraphrase the lyric goes like this ( beat is a light shuffle ).

“ I know you say we don’t want me, but I just can’t believe that that’s true I’m telling you one thing,I’m in love with you... ( forget the second verse but the chorus is ) so give me time that’s all I ask of you a little bit of time to prove I’m true and everything will work out fine give me time...

Anyone remember....

Thanx
