• Unitentional Humor (?) from Bard

    Preface: My Magic Trackpad 2 is well into its autumn years; a full
    battery charge lasts barely a week. When I get around to it, I'll either
    order a new unit, or revert to my old first generation Magic Trackpad,
    the one with the rechargeable AA batteries. [I've grown accustomed to
    the larger surface area of the newer design, so reverting would probably
    be a short-term cost-saving option.]

    Addendum: OWC has some discounted open-box units. Probably the way to
    go.

    Because I'm trying to avoid housework, I decided to present this issue
    to Bard, and predictably, some of its responses were "less than useful."
    For example:

    Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds. [Uh, button? Where?]

    Reduce the brightness of the trackpad. [!]

    Turn off Bluetooth when you are not using your trackpad. ["Hello Apple,
    how do I re-enable Bluetooth? I have a Magic keyboard. What spare wired keyboard and mouse? etc. etc."]
