Logitech's new CEO wants your next mouse to be subscription based
[quote name="OP: Overpowered"][quote]Logitech CEO Hanneke Faber wants your next mouse to last forever[/quote] Christ. [quote]You’ll hear Hanneke talk about a concept called the “forever mouse,” or a mouse you buy once and upgrade over time with new software features — features that, of course, might carry a subscription fee. Subscription mice! It’s a lot.[/quote] "It's a lot." You can say it's stupid. Look, I'll do it. "It's stupid." [quote name="Look at this dumb clown"]The third thing… of course you can’t do an interview for three minutes and not say AI, but AI is a real tailwind for us as well.[/quote] AI. LOGITECH THINKS "AI" IS ... jesusfuckignchrist She has the obligatory stupid take on return to office ---- "gravity days!!!!" ---- and then there's this exchange. [quote] I’m going to ask this very directly. Can you envision a subscription mouse? Possibly. And that would be the forever mouse? Yeah. So you pay a subscription for software updates to your mouse. Yeah, and you never have to worry about it again, which is not unlike our video conferencing services today. But it’s a mouse. But it’s a mouse, yeah. I think consumers might perceive those to be very different. [Laughs] Yes, but it’s gorgeous. Think about it like a diamond-encrusted mouse. [/quote] Every single thing out of her mouth was stupid. "Never have to worry about it again." You STUPID BITCH, I guess if I don't pay my Logitech bill, my mouse stops working? That's "never worry about it again" You know what is really not having to worry about it? Buying a fucking product and having it work for 10 years. You STUPID ASSHOLE. Good luck, Logitech and goodbye forever. <a href="https://www.theverge.com/24206847/logitech-ceo-hanneke-faber-mouse-keyboard-gaming-decoder-podcast-interview">You fucked up this hire as badly as possible. </a> [/quote]
