“Not my messages and calls,” laughs in iPhones

I am not knocking usb-c. It would actually be nice if the standards were move unforced so one could be gauranteed exactly which version they were getting.

My issue is exactly what you’re saying about material science and not knowing what might come along and what it would take to overcome the EU standards. I predict they will need to revise the rules before anything would be able to meet the current standards by it’ll be 15+ years before we know it.

That’s what you get out of that? I have no problem with usb-c, I won’t buy anything that doesn’t use it. However, I feel that the EU has set too high of a standard and we’re going to get stuck until they revise it.

Feel free to argue how if the EU law was applied back when USB-A was top dog, we’d still have made the switch to USB-C but I don’t see it.

Thanks to the eu, it’s unlikely we’ll ever have another usb variant. Certainly nothing in the next decade.

Big penguin is no joke. Just last week a penguin busted down my front door and forced me to compile my own kernel from source!

Yep. Vibe coders are feeding the algorithm the parts it’s missing to vibe on its own. And since vibing is done in natural language, it’s trivial for the LLM to incorporate for later reproduction.

Sweet fresh words. You da bomb, right list of legit dope slang. Boyah!

I use {branded reward card} but use their {branded delivery service} for the low fee of {half average emergency fund} for the opportunity to feed their logicistic system my house data when I use {branded subscription model} and be charged what they feel the product is worth they week. The best part is the reduction in basal calorie needs as I slowly get too fat to leave the house.

“The number” is itself two parts hence the dash. The first section being the prefix and the last part being the line number.

Part of this is because the device has to connect to cellphone towers where the radio equipment is on its own lifecycle path and eventually replaced.

Eventually the feature set of a device is too outdated for the carrier’s network to syooort it.

Developer time is limited and so there is little to no value using that time to support very old hardware that would be WiFi only.

Humans suck as remembering history?

Hookworms isn’t why stores require shoes. It’s because of hippies. Laws typically require employees to wear shoes and even then it depends on the workplace.

In my experience they never get it. It is fun to make fun of them. Once they reveal themselves, they become very predictable and even when called out as to how they will respond, they do it anyway like an npc.

Despite what everyone around you is saying it’s not absolutely necessary to drive. People manage this in all areas across America.

Don’t drive again until you’re ready. That may be a few weeks, it could be a decade, possibly never again.

That’s my point. The term walled garden predates it being applied to Apple and now that it has, it’s become synonymous with anything Apple does is a walled garden and we ignoring other instances of walled gardens because they don’t meet all the criteria of Apple’s.

The original term for technology walled garden was more confining than what Apple does. The term would be more useful if it remained as technology that restricts the user’s agency.

It’s a funny how people claim Apple is a walled garden and not Microsoft when Apple never forces is update or upgrades.

It’s a statement against attempting to please toxic people.

That’s a structural support beemeow. Going to have to call an engineer and rework your plans.

Almost sounds like you’re blaming the user while also not understanding that a de-google phone isn’t the solution because it’s not part of the tracking.

Misconstruing how language works isn’t an argument for what an existing and established word means.

I’m sure that argument made you feel super clever but it’s nonsense.

I sourced by definition from authoritative sources. The fact that you didn’t even bother to verify that or provide an alternative authoritative definition tells me all I need to know about the value in further discussion with you.

Claiming it’s just marketing fluff is indicates you do not know what you’re talking about.

They published a research paper on it. You are free to publish your own paper disproving theirs.

At the moment, you sound like one of those “I did my own research” people except you didn’t even bother doing your own research.
