llama.cpp doesn’t have the ability to send telemetry because the next word predictor says so. you can confirm with wireshark.

I prefer to leave it plugged in when the lithium battery inevitably dies, since replacement is annoying and difficult.

I leave my trackpad plugged in for the same reason. I need my mouse to not be another device that needs babysitting.

As an owner of a few apple magic mice and two of the giant trackpads, fuck everything about placing the charging port on the UNDERSIDE OF THE MOUSE. apple, there is a perfectly good location for the port. Front towards pc. Period. Put a usb-c cable there and let me use it while charging.

I actually prefer the older ones that run on AAs for my print room mac.

All that being said, razer naga pro for gaming. Loads of buttons, lots of macros.
