A shining example of cutting edge Apple innovation

Relatable.

Except it's missing:

5b. Try 100 different things, none of which fix it and several of which will create other problems later

Always use protection

But how many have won against an opponent with no king?

cancer of all modern religions

Meh, they're all pretty bad imo

Modern Religion is an oxymoron

I suspect cigarettes generated a lot more litter but with a lot less precious metals in it

And Batman is just a rich orphan

I just like to have a little minimap following me like in a video game.

I use Waze whenever I drive, it also keeps me informed about accidents, cops, and other hazards.

"I don't have any side projects so there's no reason you shouldn't pay me a living wage"

as every accessory with a lightning port just became e-waste. I guess Mother Nature didn’t see that.

I think it's interesting that you see this as USB-C's fault.

If Apple had stuck to a standard connector they would have been on usb-c in a year or two anyway and none of that e-waste would exist.

Or if they went back on their word and switched to usb-c from lightning after a couple years, there would also be way less Lightning e-waste. What do you think happens to all those Lightning accessories when someone switches from iPhone to a different device?

Apple's proprietary Lightning connector is responsible for the e-waste, not USB-C or regulators.

These regulations will stop companies like Apple making proprietary connectors purely for profit that generate all the e-waste in the first place.

The 100+ people at the company are not responsible for what happened, the 2-3 people that should have dealt with it are.

That's not how businesses work.

Those 2-3 people were acting as employees of the company, executing business for the company. The company is responsible for those actions.

You can't just hand-wave it away as "our employees suck at their jobs".

You hired them. You authorized them to do those jobs. You are responsible for the manner in which they were done (or not done)

"Popular with locals:"

What really blows my mind is not that the lower-end models have USB2.0 speeds, but that all iPhones always have in the past.

Lighting truly was ancient.

Use KeePass.

My concern with using a text file is you have to defrost it to use it and whenever it's not encrypted it's potentially exposed. You are also vulnerable to keyloggers or clipboard captures

KeePass works entirely locally, no cloud. And it's far more secure/functional than a text file.

I personally use KeePass, secured with a master password + YubiKey.

Then I sync the database between devices using SyncThing over a Tailscale network.

KeePass keeps the data secure at rest and transferring is always done P2P over SSL and always inside a WireGuard network so even on public networks it's protected.

You could just as easily leave out the Tailscale/SyncThing and just manually transfer your database using hardware air-gapped solutions instead but I am confident in the security of this solution for myself. Even if the database was intercepted during transit it's useless without the combined password/hardware key.

I agree with that other reply.

Linus knew just enough to be dangerous.

My experience with most Windows users and their first encounter with using a Linux terminal is every single warning/error they see no matter how mundane is a big deal.

Things like the boot text or a random apt install on Linux will often display various warnings or even "errors" that are really of no concern but ime tend to freak out new users.

Linus is in that narrow band where he doesn't really know shit but knows just enough to be falsely confident and ignore all the warnings/errors instead of just the irrelevant ones

Keep your dirty cross-origin paws off my pixels!

This is silly, it's much easier to bill their loved ones

Yeah this is one of my pretty peeves.

When I ask you for the logs I don't mean cut out the one or two lines you might think are relevant.

Please provide the entire log file unless instructed otherwise.

I have no reason to believe the bits OP removed were relevant. In fact it sounds as though none of it was. But that's not always the case and support people or the actual developers are just as capable of using the search function in a text editor to locate the relevant parts of a log file as anyone else is.

Please provide the entire log, this "helping" concept causes now issues than it solves, trust.

Regulations didn’t make Apple change. A viable standard that met their requirements did.

I call bullshit.

USB-C has been around and better than Lightning for a long time, they didn't switch the iPhone to it until they were under pressure by regulators to do so.

If your theory were valid they would have switched many years ago.

It's the American Dream
