You call it "seasonal decorations", I call it "furniture" since it makes the patio suitable and comfortable to be out on.

To be fair, accidental damage is never covered under "warranty" (or any other extended service guarantee "warranty equivalents") from any manufacturer. Given these black rectangles go everywhere with us, it's still very good to have a device that won't absolutely crap itself as soon as it gets dropped in water.

I say this as someone who often sees customers bring in water damaged devices, wanting their data off of it.

Frankly though, I wish the term used was "water resistance" and not "waterproof". That semantic annoys me.

The amount of USB type ports I've seen where the 'tongue' has been absolutely mangled is mind boggling — an issue that Lightning completely bypassed.

For example, I'm repairing some kids PS5 and both back USB ports have had their pins twisted and the plastic snapped off. The HDMI port pins are lifting from the mainboard and the front of the unit is scratched to high hell. I see some of the worst treated tech at my job, and those plastic bits get damaged a lot. While Apple needed to move to USB-C six years ago with the iPhone X, I will respect Lightning for this one thing.

But isn't 'quiet quitting' the act of the employee giving the bare minimum needed to achieve a paycheck? It sounds like you're talking about getting employees to flat-out quit so the company doesn't need to pay benefits that come with being fired.

As someone who runs a popular blocklist collection, I've come to find that most of the MASSIVE lists are people who collate a whole bunch of lists together and then promote their "one size fits all" solution alongside their donation link. There are very few original high quality ad-blocking lists maintained (where originality is defined as a sizeable amount of unique entries not shared by other lists) and almost all don't appear to openly discuss the magic sauce behind their lists, outside of the obvious case of user submissions.

AppleCare is not warranty (but is an equivalent), while AppleCare+ is the equivalent of insurance. I've edited my post to clarify this a little better.

The article does it right: test@test.com and other similar things (e.g: a@a.com) will throw an error the first time you put in a password and it'll proceed to create an offline account.

The people that go through the steps like commands and disabling internet are making too much work for themselves.

CNN reached out to Twitter for comment on the status of the severance package for the former employees in the Ghana office but received an automated response – a poop emoji. It’s unclear whether Twitter still has a media relations department.

Unclear?

"Hi, can I ask a question?"

No, don't ask to ask a question.

Hilariously, I find the Pi-hole feature "disable for 5 seconds" often works because it'll be down for long enough to load the page but not the ads.

Colonel, I'm dummy-thicc but the crack of my kneecaps keeps alerting the guards!

The real reason Tim Sweeney's afraid of Linux.

Windows users complaining that a Linux (or at a stretch, even Mac) app doesn't have a Windows version.

Given that OP posted a Mac screenshot, Pages and Numbers would likely work just as well for the files themselves.

From a repair standpoint, Brother are definitely the best option (that I know of). I do authorised repair work for them, and their support guides, technical support team and range of spare parts is absolutely amazing. The biggest problem I see is aftermarket toner wrinkling up the fuser of laser models, but that's not like it's something Brother's introduced to be anti-competitive slime bags.

I've got a second-hand HL-5370DW (from 2009~) that's been through the wringer of a medical practice - I still use it to print without any issue, despite the Web UI insisting that all the non-toner consumables need to be replaced immediately.

I migrated to Pi-hole in 2016 so believe me when I say that uBlock Origin is perfectly complimentary because it removes the blank space that is made for ads.

Since Apple make no distinction between "malicious damage" and "accidental damage", then everything is called accidental. However, there are times where accidental damage is covered under warranty (or rather, a "service program") when there's an issue that's widespread enough that is attributed to a manufacture or design defect -- the warping of the plastic on the bottom of the Late 2009 Macbook comes to mind.

I honestly can't believe it's been 10 years, also being a day one Pro purchaser.

Sadly, it lost me at no extensions (currently). Just because it has its own password manager doesn't replace the universal accessibility of Bitwarden between devices.

Spoiler: it's a box for a spark plug 😂
