  • I think this is somewhat of a willfully ignorant thought in the age of data mining. This is Disney we’re talking about. I would presume their data management to be superior than most. And in the realm of using and/or selling data that would likely include facial recognition, I’d think they’d capitalize on that given the data is already in their pocket and given freely 50k times a day to enter their park. How am I to check that they deleted the photo they took of me? I cannot.








  • It is either a type of rubberized material degrading or one piece of plastic in the group. Being a home-labber/gamer I have gone through a couple hundred mice easily. In addition to Logitech, I’ve had lots of stock MS/Dell/HP and even Sun mice. A few can get this condition with the materials. Often it will be a rubberized component, but sometimes it is a plastic part. Like the mouse wheel is a more common part that gets sticky, but the rest of the mouse is okay. Nothing happened other than it sat around for a long time. It could be that the last user had grubby fingers stained orange from cheetos whilst using that mouse and that lent somehow to the degradation. Hard to say. Plastic does degrade for sure and maybe our grubby mitts help?






  • I’ll bet you could use some type of modern sealant to make a “rubber” gasket. Spooge it out onto a glass or stainless surface, shape it and let it dry. Trim to fit and viola. Bob’s your auntie.

    In light of the hard times coming down the pike, we’ll all need to be more resourceful with mending and maintaining all the products that were planned to be scrap after one year (or warranty expiration).

    Edit: I would also add that if this gasket touches food or food surfaces, do not use just anything that might transfer toxic elements. Also, I hang on to all sorts of stuff and have a stash of rubber bits I toss into a bin. Something could be made from that as well. My pack-rat ways are going to finally pay off. ;(
