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.

"Hi, can I ask a question?"

No, don't ask to ask a question.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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