Dubbed the G502 X Plus AL Edition, this new version will have a lot of the same features as Logitech's G502 X Plus wireless mouse, except the aluminum body will be laser-etched with serial numbers from 1 to 502. That's right, only 502 of these bad boys are being produced.
Feature-wise, you can expect a 25K DPI sensor, RGB lighting, and wireless charging via Logitech's PowerPlay charging system.
How can you get your hands on a G502 X Plus AL Edition mouse? Well, you can't buy one because Logitech won't be putting them up for sale. Instead, the mice "can only be awarded, earned, or gifted from Logitech G or our partners to community members across the globe." (Logitech already gave away 10 units via X/Twitter.

The Verge reports that YouTube is rolling out advertisements that show up when you pause videos, continuing experiments that the company started a year ago. A YouTube representative confirmed that the practice will now become commonplace "as we've seen both strong advertiser and strong viewer response."

While the nebulous engagement metrics probably show YouTube that there's a lot of information being passed on to users, the initial response on social media seems to be universally negative. YouTube isn't the first video service to pull this move, but it's absolutely the largest.
The representative said that advertising on paused videos is designed to create a "less interruptive" experience. But as The Verge notes, that doesn't necessarily mean we're going to see a drop in the increasing load of obnoxious and often unskippable advertising on YouTube. And since I'm seeing more and more creators pack their videos with sponsorships, I somehow doubt that the people making YouTube's content are going to get a bigger slice of the advertising pie.
"We estimate we can sell up to 80 percent of an individual's visual field before inducing seizures," said the fictional CEO (of a company that bears more than a passing resemblance to Google) in Rea
