I heard someone say there’s a North Montenegro now. Is that true?

Make a deck and pitch Valley VCs.

I hate to admit this, but I’ve started using Reddit again. It pains me, but there is stuff I just can’t get here.

Here’s a mnemonic technique that I have found works: Nothing about Marvel movies is worth remembering.

You’re watching the dramatic equivalent of that retouched Ecce Homo painting, a mass media product constructed by Hollywood on top of the palimpsest of the creative output of young Jewish men trying to come to grips with feelings of powerlessness in the aftermath of the Holocaust. Nothing much of the original remains, and it’s not worth looking at, beyond remarking at its absurdity.

I never hear that show mentioned, but it’s excellent.

Spore early game was fun.

Maybe this is the equivalent of defending ethical capitalism, but an ad-supported model can enable poor users to access content they couldn’t afford if it were paid.

I live in San Francisco. The dream of the ‘90s is alive here now.

4 bars and some fenty. Nu fuss, no muss.

Neither is cubo-futurism.

Too many people have them. No one wants to stare at your chirping sphincter.

Teach the controversy!

Smart enough to make this joke, egotistical enough to not proofread.

Yalie.

“Spirit” was the operative word.

Your data isn’t comprehensive: Intel MB Air used MagSafe until 2017, but not same MagSafe as currently offered.

And, I meant that, among iOS devices, iPads did not switch to USB-C at same time phones did.

From cgpt, through 2021:

iPhone and iPad models did not make the shift to USB-C at the same time. As of my last update in September 2021, iPads started transitioning to USB-C with the iPad Pro in 2018. Other iPad models like the iPad Air followed suit, adopting USB-C in 2020.

iPhones, on the other hand, have stuck with the proprietary Lightning connector for charging and data transfer. As of 2021, no iPhone models had transitioned to USB-C, although the topic has been a subject of speculation and rumors.

For all of my suckerdom, the one Apple thing I don’t buy is headphones. Between the pre-sale engineered obsolescence and the post-sale engineered obsolescence (looking at you, AirPods and your declining noise-canceling levels after software “updates” as a new model is about to launch), I managed to achieve escape velocity to other headphone brands. Love the Sony WF-1000XM series for noise-canceling earbuds.

I use 10 Apple hardware devices currently, and have owned well over 100 since my first Mac 128K in 1984. I’m a sucker for Apple shit.

I kind of have to agree with the spirit of previous poster’s point. Apple does do annoying shit with port formats.

Between the four MacBooks in front of me, only two share the same main power format—and, of course, one of those can’t get enough juice from the other’s PSU.

Have two different formats for my iPads, and my partner’s iPhone and mine don’t share a format. That’s not remarkable, but the timing of the various iOS port format changes was frustrating, as certain devices made the port jump at the same time that their brethren did not.

I would finally note the rather large bouquet of different Apple wall-warts we have collected, also in two different formats, and a variety of wattages.

Finally, a lot of Apple’s cables have tips that seem purpose-built to fall apart, meaning even more trash in landfills.

I’m not smart enough to know, but what kind of use case(s) do you imagine for this?

Don’t forget hard-everything.
