Like the Energizer bunny, the Logitech G602 is the gaming mouse that keeps going and going

Add as a preferred source on Google

Long battery life and gaming don’t really belong in the same sentence, but Logitech is giving it a shot anyway. The company announced the G602 wireless gaming mouse today, which claims that it can run for “more than 1,400 hours” before needing new batteries, which is around two months of continuous 24/7 use.

The G602 is the latest addition to Logitech’s rebranded G series of gaming peripherals that the company launched back in March with a slew of new keyboards, mice, and headsets. The G602 sports 11 programmable buttons and is rated for 250 hours in full gaming mode, giving you all the power you could possibly need to make it through those long gaming sessions

The mouse also has an endurance mode that dials down the controls and the features for a more low-power state of mouse control. This will give you the previously-mention 1,400 hours of use before you have to change out the two AA batteries that it requires.

The mouse comes with Logitech’s exclusive Delta Zero sensor technology with 2500DPI – certainly not anything close to other top-tier gaming mice on the market, like the Razer Mamba’s 5600DPI. However, it’s certainly hard to beat a 250-hour battery life with a gaming mouse these days, and Logitech had to sacrifice just a bit of performance in order to keep the mouse chugging along for an extended amount time.

The Logitech G602 will begin selling next month for $80. The company will also be launching the new G440 Hard Gaming Mouse Pad for $30, as well as the $20 G240 Cloth Gaming Mouse Pad for high-DPI and low-DPI gaming, respectively.

Study says relying on AI can turn doubt into false confidence
AI is making it harder for people to say "I don't know."

You'd think getting wrong advice would make you more cautious. New research says the opposite happens when that advice comes from AI. A study led by Valerio Capraro, a psychology professor at the University of Milan-Bicocca, found that incorrect AI advice made people less accurate, yet noticeably more confident in their answers (via IBM Think).

The study also found that people who received incorrect AI advice became far less willing to admit they didn't know an answer, even when staying silent was an option, and they were rewarded for accuracy.

Back-to-school desk upgrade? Start with one of these monitor arms
Whether you're studying, coding, or gaming after class, these are the monitor arms I'd happily recommend.
The Best Monitor Arms for Back-to-School That I'd Actually Recommend - HUANUO FlowLift Dual Monitor Stand

Dorm rooms and study desks have one thing in common: they run out of space fast. Between textbooks, notebooks, keyboards, coffee mugs, and laptop chargers, a monitor's stock stand often ends up taking more room than it should. A good monitor arm instantly frees up valuable desk space while also putting the screen at a much more comfortable height, making long study sessions easier on the neck and shoulders. Whether it's a simple single-monitor setup or a dual-screen workstation, these are the monitor arms I'd actually recommend for Back-to-School.
