My very first optical #mouse, a #Microsoft #IntelliMouse Optical, has finally died. It was over 25 years old.

Shockingly, it wasn't the buttons; they were, somehow, still working fine until now. There was some kind of electronic failure. The mouse no longer lights up and the pointer no longer moves.

I don't think I've seen a mouse before or since that lasted anywhere near as long as this one did. Very impressive.

Useless Facts, Badly Drawn #452: Calibri.

Calibri is the default typeface in Microsoft Office, first introduced in 2006, replacing Times New Roman and Arial. Because of this, there have been multiple cases where politicians and other powerful people were caught presenting fake documents in court as evidence, claiming they were from before 2006. But since they were in Calibri, and the typeface didn't exist before then, they were easily proven to be obvious forgeries.
