So cool Apple stopped making iOS 2 updates for all devices above iPhone 3G. /s Forcing users on iPhone 1 to choose either staying on the more stable 2.2.1 where they were comfortable, or the garbage can of iOS 3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10/11/12/13/14/15/16/17/18/26.

Wasn’t this the nvme driver that was bricking consumer nvme drives? Enable at your own risk.

Good luck maintaining it

Its been news before, so there is precedence for that possibility.

Honestly, if I want to find a local bicycle shop, and apple maps can help me find one without being obnoxious, then im okay with it as long as they don’t share any data about me with the bicycle shop. I want to shop locally and support my local businesses, rather than shop online.

“Stuffing ads into the Maps app” makes it sound evil, even if we have no idea how it’s going to look.

That summary sums up everything. Thanks OP.

They don’t until they do. Then I have to fix their problem. I live it everyday.

Solid guess. You know your USB 2.0 USB-C to USB-C charging cables. (Its a 60w capable cable btw, not 120w or 240w, so don’t bother trying to power your gaming laptop with it)

You don’t know the purpose of a USB-C cable because they all look the same.

Tell me, what is this cable capable of?

Its going to cause issues when you grab a random USB-C cable out of your USB-C cable box and try to use a low bandwidth cable that has USB-C connectors when you need a high bandwidth cable that has USB-C connectors.

I don’t get how thats hard to understand.

It is a huge issue indeed, and we are living that issue for decades to come.

You can charge all you want, but when you’re trying to thunderbolt your laptops display to three 4K monitors and grab your USB 2.0 charging cable to do that with, now you might have some bandwidth issues.

And honestly, even attempting to charge your laptop with a shit tier cable probably won’t charge your laptop.

Good luck with that 🫡

The devices are outgrowing the capabilities of the cables. Doesn’t matter if the connector fits or not.

You will have issues in the future and youll pull your hair out trying to figure out why its not working.

This is funny to me because so many people wanted USB-C to be a government mandated, gun pointed to your head standard, and they couldn’t see how now we are stuck with USB-C being the default connector. That never meant you automatically get new protocols running over that wire. You still have to buy new cables.

So its a war? I thought only Congress could declare war?

I wouldn’t call any child, as a human, a disappointment, but I believe there are some rare occasions where their actions should be framed as disappointing.

Label the action disappointing, explain the reasoning that led to that conclusion, and explain how it could affect the future for both the parents and the child. Communication is key, and also try to leave some room for the child to grow. The less often you call something disappointing, the more powerful it can be, and can be used as a way to seriously correct behavior.
