Years ago I worked a short time for a company selling self contained fire alarms and I believe they even had a similar self contained fire extinguisher. I do remember seeing the type extinguisher as the one in your link. ^_^
This looked like a flop house. Old, dirty & beds everywhere. The kind of building that the city was activly buying and buldozing, if the owner couldn't bring it up to code.
That's the type that doesn't notice the damage till it's too late. Hell, a GOOD US made membrane switch would sell for more than $30 in quantities of 5,000 or less.
Being who I am, I am replacing the switches in a wireless mouse. I can't find another model that doesn't bother my Carpal Tunnel, and Logitech has used the same switches for over a decade. Not that I think most people could replace one on a double sided, board with PTH.
Prostitution in that part of Nevada was legal. So it was far more "commercial" than in other places. No money spent on keeping the cops away via bribes and whatnot. And the girls were well paid.
As a cop..Ive seen a bunch of poorly paid ladies..their pimps taking the vast majority of their pay. Which is why it should be legalized across the US.

Which reminds me...I picked up a microwave last week from a Scratch and dent store for $20. Kenmore product, current model. I fired it up before buying it and it worked well. Got it home..fired it up..and it ran for about 30 seconds and then it puffed out some smoke and died.
So I popped it open and found a thermostat secured to the top of the cooking chamber that had literally melted down. Bypassed it..and it works fine. I suspect its a safety that senses if the chamber gets too hot because of fire or other extreme temperature. Simple open/close device that had for some reason..melted. Wires were fine, plastic on the connectors was not melted and there were black smoke smudges on the inside of the cover. No idea of why it melted down. Must have been something internal..not well made. Near the klystron and above the lightbulb compartment. Main power runs through it. So I put the thing back in operation with wire strippers and a wire nut... and in fact..cooked dinner in it tonight. Works fine.
So I took the old Panasonic that had failed..and Id replaced with the new Kenmore out and opened it up too. Filled with spider webs, the odd fly, roach and lots and lots of crumbs. Probably 12 or more years old. And virtually identical to the Kenmore internally. The only difference was the position of several of the internal sensors and the electronic display for the various cooking programs. Cleaned it out, sprayed the circuits with board cleaner to get the crumbs and roach turds off the board, , let it dry out, fired it back up and it now works just fine as well.
I was rather amazed at the simularity between the Panasonic guts, some
12 or more years old..and the new Kenmore guts. Obviously Sears doesnt make their own nukes and is buying them from Panasonic. Shrug

Some reviews of the Logitech M570 trackball say it helps their CTS:

I bought one to control 7 Media Center from the arm of a chair and am slowly approaching the precision I acquired with a mouse from 20+ years of CAD work. At first it was very awkward.
My hand is slightly too small for it and slides back unless I position it where the chair back supports my elbow. jsw
Uh, say what?! How'd you get into a personal attack? Why do you consider me "...pretty dull,...."? Boring, probably, Dense, no.
Especially, not so 'dull' as to expect the $46 microwave oven to last very long. I simply was sharing my experience, reinforcing someone's tongue in cheek comment about how it is not necessary to clean the microwave surfaces because the microwave will fail first! The poster's joke was like all good humour, based in truth.
Don't know why YOU assume a leftie, member of the Republican National Committee, personally invited by Bob Dole to join the Republican Inner Circle. More details witheld because this IS a public forum regarding home repair and most importantly, this is NOT a political forum.
Michael, I did notice the deterioration right from the start. So what's your point? Obviously, being such a cheap plastic membrane, the deterioration just kept on. I suppose I could have 'sprayed' a sealer coating over the membrane switch or RTV'd it or put that PCB gunk on it to preserve the integrity of whatever seal the manufacturer was seeking, but come on, this was a cheap microwave.
Again for the denseness you have been displaying. Not dumb, either.
As I said, I didn't expect much from the product, but was surprised the Chinese didn't have decent plastics. Active circuitry I expected to fail, not passive housing.
With your last statement, you show your true character. You are describing yourself when you try to call me a liar. Upon rereading my last paragraph, perhaps I am lying to myself that this is not a political forum. Other statements are true.
It does take a little while to get used to a trackball, but Ive been using them for at least a decade and they are very good.
Be sure to change the settings in Windows (or whatever OS ) so the ball moves properly for your "touch". Its all changable of course and can be adjusted nicely

Now that I have asked, ;~) I am going to tell you how to fix it when it quits working properly. I am on my 3rd in 2 years, Logitech has replaced 2 units without requesting a return.
My problem has been with the center click button, this center click is a big time saver in Sketchup for orbiting while panning. Anyway I could hear and feel the click but the orbit command would not engage unless I pressed even harder after hearing the click and then some times having to hold down the wheel and wiggle it. The cursor would not go from a pointer arrow to an orbit icon. A real PIA.
After getting the second replacement I decided to open up the one with the problem. Both had the same problem BTW. There are "5" screws on the bottom and inside that have to be removed to open the unit. One screw is obvious just under the ball on the bottom. 3 more screws are under the rubber pads opposite the ball and at the far long ends. The 5th screw is under the battery label at the
1.5v lettering. Poke a hole through the diagram label at that point to find the screw. Then pull the bottom half away from the top half.
Inside you have a small square switch with a round button, flood that switch with electrical cleaner and or any other switches that may be giving you trouble. Thoroughly blow dry the assembly, I used compressed air and reassembled. Works like new again.
