For what it’s worth, he quit the worst of his gun-nuttery once he realized how insane every one else who was into that scene was, and when the school shootings really took off. He posted a mea culpa video the last time everything blew up explaining how he left those politically active groups.

Not saying you have to like him or agree with his views but he did change his mind about a lot of things.

One day my wife had enough and threw out all the mismatched cutlery, so now we have everything 100% matched.

I married the right woman.

No this will likely limit the max antenna range and give you worse radio reception, but will make no difference to the CPU that runs the UI and apps

For example, my conservative neighbor the other day was complaining about the weight of EVs compared to ICE cars

If they’re so concerned about vehicle weight, I’m sure they’re driving a compact car instead of a truck or SUV, right?

Well to begin with, it only has one control panel instead of like 3

This one is using their new braided cable instead of the old plastic one

Even the USB 2.0 phones support DisplayPort 4K 60Hz/HDR https://www.macrumors.com/2023/09/13/all-iphone-15-models-support-displayport/

Yes? Most use cases for Thunderbolt are external NVMe drives or laptop docks, those are fine with short cables.

The alternative of getting rid of USB-C plug compatibility and requiring an expensive optical assembly and fragile optical connectors would kill Thunderbolt. It means it’s gone from laptops where the space and cost is too high, it means it’s gone from iPads where it won’t even fit, external NVMe drives will settle for USB due to cost .

Active optical cables ARE part of the standard for those who need it.

Thunderbolt optical cables exist if you need them, and for anyone who doesn’t the extra cost of the optical interface is a waste.

Milennial. Got started with computers when my dad brought home a Mac Classic for Christmas 1990. Our elementary school still used Apple II machines for a while (number munchers, ad libs and so on) before switching to Macs. Didn’t even see a PC until years and years later.

Yeah my kids get to play 90’s CD-ROM infotainment games. World of Richard Scarry and such. Basic math, phonics and spelling haven’t changed since then and these games are guaranteed to not have any in-app purchases or ads! First it was on a PowerBook G3 that is going bad so it’s been swapped out for an iMac G4.

Power plants use lake water directly for cooling - they use a heat exchanger

Also you have Chinese BYD making huge inroads in various markets now. They’re going to massively drop the price floor for features that are seen as luxury right now.

The whole copper PSTN network is planned to be scrapped in 2025, including ADSL

The copper network is being shut down completely planned 2025, she is going to be dragged kicking and screaming into it.

Yeah there’s no way they’re going to hit that 2025 deadline. BT started replacing people’s landlines last year but had to halt the project as it was too confusing for the elderly, etc and now they have to do a rethink about how to move everyone over

If your road trips are only once in a while, you easily make up for it in saved time not doing weekly fill-ups.

They’re not even selling it, they’re just giving it away due to incompetence.

They added the pixel to track their ad click through rate (and to automatically optimize the targeting based on people who click through).

The pixel sends off the URL of the current page when a user visits. The search form put the GPA you entered to search for in the URL, so it gets sent off as part of the URL.

There’s no way Facebook even realized this or utilized the data in any way, it just happens to be in the URL by mistake and they get millions of URLs sent to themselves every second, no way do they actually bother to sit and analyze what’s in them.

The reason is that like with the iPhone 14, in the non-Pro models they put the SoC from the previous year’s Pro model, and that one was only designed for Lightning so only USB 2.0. So the non-Pro will get USB 3 once the USB 3-supporting SoC trickles down from the Pro.
