Yes, I do? Maybe I did just get lucky - but the lightning cable that came with my 6S just recently died after a decade.
It’s sole purpose was to sit at my computer desk to allow me to charge while working from home, in the end there was no splitting or fraying of the cable - it just stopped charging. 🤷🏻♂️
I’ve also still got my Xs and 14 Pro cables, but have largely switched to Qi2 in preparation for upgrading to the 18 Pro.
Oh I understand the comparison - but it begets the question: just how often did you plug and unplug in your RJ11s from your landline phone? Because we’re not really comparing like-for-like here.
I’m also old enough to remember having to do untangle those cords every month or so and they would eventually start crackling whenever you moved, before eventually not working without any obvious signs of physical damage.
I hate to be that that guy - but a lot of this can be boiled down to careless use. If you pull in the cable to disconnect, you’re eventually going to break it. You’re supposed to pull on the hard plastic part of the connector.
My work has a mandatory password update every ~3 months, seemingly keeps all previous hashes, and some employees have been around for 20+ years.
I feel for the IT security team.
Weird, that’s just showing up as ******** to me…
Clearly our company has set their own standards…
..this is also on top of 2FA, Zscaler, and a few other secure network requirements I haven’t fully poked around. 🤷🏻♂️
We regularly work with a tonne of sensitive and PII data, such that even one leak would be disastrous.
The first company that is able to commodify modular drop-in BEV replacements for ICE vehicles would make a fortune:
Battery packs shaped to slot into engine bays, transmission tunnels and fuel tank cavities.
Individual motors directly into your preferred wheel wells (FWD? RWD? AWD? 4WD? whatever you like).
Drop-in ECU to interface with the existing chassis.
The sort of thing that someone mechanically minded could knock out in their own garage over a weekend or two, or you could get done at a professional shop in a day.
Imagine taking your favourite silhouette, and giving it exactly the range and performance you desire - at the fraction of the cost of a new EV.
Technically, the equivalent would be you standing outside a polling place with a sign saying “I will give every adult in the area $500 if Candidate X wins”.
Ostensibly, you could just be lying (just like Trump) - and that would probably be covered under your 1st Amendment rights.
It’s stupid, but there is enough of a disconnect between action and reward that it might skirt past.
PS1, PS2 & PSP era.
Bring on an era where minivans are cool again, SUVs are tacky, and hot hatches + coupes reign supreme.
I love the concept of WoW; having played consistently from Open Beta until Cataclysm, and then playing the first year or each expansion (ending at Shadowlands).
I’m definitely excited to try Forever, but once I realised that all of the quests come down to one of the following:
It’s hard to re-bottle the genie and in-break the immersion.
Actually no; that is both the correct logo for KMart in Australia AND its own internal brand Anko:
I mean, I personally view the start of the PS3 era as part of that same golden period - but it was also the time when we began to see the beginnings of enshitification also:
The launch PS3 was probably the peak of Somy giving the customers what they wanted; full hardware backwards compatibility with PS1/PS2 titles, affordable Blu-Ray player, built-in and upgradable HDD, heap of standardised IO options.
It’s just been all downhill from there.
But then you’re missing out on all that bottom fun!
I did ~330m x $1000 = ~$330b x 5 = $1.65t
e: Mind you, it’s 9:30pm here and I’m exhausted looking after a newborn, so I may be missing something. 😅
It probably wouldn’t meet the strict legal definition, as no copy (physical or digital) is left behind for any period of time - as RAM is volatile and its contents disappear on power cycle.
Are you sure? We have two OLEDs (a CX from 2020 and a C1 from 2021), and both have these remotes with microphones:
What if I’m trying to find a low-mileage, mid ‘90s drop-top NSX in candy red - what filters should I set?
Asking for a friend.
Pro-tip: Invest in a pistol grip dispenser guns, cheap ones start at like $10 and pay for themselves in saved anger quite rapidly.
No matter how rarely you think you’d use it - it’s worth it.
Sure, go right ahead and add something like $1.6T to the national debt. Fuck it - why not!
thanks for using Leebra!
