We use their CDN, and they do our load balancing for work and they’re great at it.

Housing is a need. Tickets are a want. Both are scalpers.

Your friend is incredible if he’s able to kill Apple’s headphones in under a month. Unironically he should apply to work for some of these companies for QA if he’s actually capable of doing that.

Mini USB was a dark dark time. Please don’t bring up those bad memories.

USB C didn’t exist when Apple made the lightning connector.

Are they idiots, or are they innovators and the rest are just trying to catch up?

The iPhone already doesn’t support USB 3.0 speeds, or video out from the port so nothing would be lost.

And the data rate of the cable has no impact on it’s power delivery capability. I have USB 2.0 speed cables capable of doing 240 watts. Plus the iPhone already does USB PD, just through the lightning port. https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/12152bd5-5977-4cf3-9dd5-c302ca78462b.jpeg

USB C is already a mess, and plenty of Android devices don’t support USB 3.0 speeds either. Apple changing to USB C port changes nothing except for the literal receptacle.

I went to the ER uninsured the other day. The total came out to about 1,700 for an EKG, two blood oxygen tests, and a doctor to say ”lol ur young you’ll be fine”.

Thankfully the uninsured discount they gave me dropped the price to about $650 which would have been the same as the shitty insurance my work offers.

Always have an oh shit fund kids.
