Yes, the THREE-trillion dollar, 50-year-old company that figuratively just prints money is going to become so desperate that they will abandon their extremely profitable business model to become… an ad agency?

The absolutely irrelevant reference to a vague PR line in Googles old corporate code of conduct was a nice touch, though

2019 is 96w charger. 140w is 2021 or later.

Like how else would you get like a bike rack or a garden for your building?

You ask the owner, and then accept it will never happen.

It’s somewhat pedantic, but the point is really that, in our legal system you are innocent until proven guilty. It’s also the morally correct approach in a lot of ways outside of the legal system.

What do you mean exactly? Nearly every house in Colorado has a basement.

Sense of "adjust (a clock, etc.) with reference to a standard of accuracy" is by 1660s. Related: Regulated; regulating.

Did you read your own source? Or just stop at the first sentence?

Maybe Wartales would work for you.

It’s a really good RPG, lots of content and customization so every game is different, your choices matter, and supports up to 4-player co-op. It’s fairly similar to TTRPGs in a lot of ways.

I used to play Faery Tale Adventure on Amiga. The anti-piracy was code phrases around the edge of a paper map.

Laptops were never charged with lightning and it makes zero sense that they ever would. It was never necessary and they received a LOT of hate over using USB-C on the laptops because they were extremely early to the party. The exact same hate was heaped on them when they implemented USB before everyone else.

You apparently don’t remember (or care) about how they faced a lot of backlash when they moved from the 30-pin to Lightning on iPhone. They promised accessory manufacturers that they wouldn’t change the iPhone port again for at least 10 years, and we are right at that mark. Other products have been transitioning to USB-C in a somewhat logical order. All of the products that charge with lightning now are iPhone accessories and there is little reason to have different charge ports on products that are meant to be used together.

The only argument that isn’t just pure ignorance seems to boil down to “Apple evil”

They started in 1959, and are from Iowa. K&G is okay, but Maverick is far better in every way.

If it is an actual USB headset, yes, an adapter will work fine. If it’s an analog headset with a USB-C plug then no. Outside of some phone headsets you should be fine as “audio accessory mode” isn’t super common outside of that.

While you should probably fix your router, there are some workarounds that can work. If you have your own domain, cloudflare tunnels are really great. Similar option that doesn’t need a domain but requires a VPS or other hosting with a public IP is just a WireGuard tunnel to your service.

It’s, as you said, because it mounts everything as root. It’s possible that this could be exploited to gain root privileges but not likely. If you’re paranoid and/or building a secure system that you don’t need to dual boot, it’s not a bad idea to disable it.

I’m probably biased because I worked in Utah long before they ever came to Colorado and I’ve been to most of their “flagship” stores. If there’s a choice I’ll pick Maverick every time.

Also, I was pretty sure I was going to be jumped by a mob because I wore a K&G hat to a restaurant in OCC in the early-mid 2000s. The anti-Kum&Go sentiment was insane back then.

I’ve had to replace 4 USB-C cables that have failed in the past year, and I’ve never replaced a lightning cable. Seriously, the cable from my iPhone 6 Plus has outlasted 4 company cars, and is currently pulling charge duty in number 5.

That’s about the only advantage for me though.

Literally everything. iMessage is a real messaging app with all of the bells and whistles. Blue means all of the features you want will work. Green means SMS, which is garbage.

iMessage gets you end to end encryption, read receipts, reactions, larger media sharing, functal group chats, and more.

RCS solves some of the shortcomings of SMS but it’s not a feature that Apple supports.
