A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Holy damn! The tiny solar panels from 2010 are back!
F### all the stupid disposable battery requiring garbage
I used to have a Logitech K750 solar keyboard. The battery was always dying. The only difference from a traditional charging keyboard is instead of a charging cable, I had a charging desk lamp.
I have a K750, the battery is about 15 years old with daily use. The original battery was dead when I opened it, I just bought one when it was new, and it's still going.
In another thread some days ago others shared similar experiences as you, so maybe I'm the lucky one.
I live in a bright flat, and my computer was always near to the window, it's charge never went below 80-90%, so maybe that's the reason for its longevity.
hahaha, that's a solution!
Reminds me of the at least 40 year old calculator my mother is still using, even though you need essentially a search light both for it to power on and to make out anything on the dim LCD screen. It's always been like this though.
