This is when I lost it as the reader and rolled my eyes. I'm not a fan of this silly writing style or weird tribalism.
I have no problem nerding out about some underlying concept or implementation detail, but not about brands. This isn't nerding out. This is just an ad.
- akerr 3y agoNo, the writer rightly criticised the iPad’s accessory support and found some encouraging signs in a surprising place. Lighten up.
- smoldesu 3y ago> and found some encouraging signs in a surprising place. Remember that we are talking about the company that invented "MFi", a DRM scheme for serial cables. I'm all for encouraging Apple to do the right thing, but it should not take a multi-trillion dollar company 17 iterations of iOS to support class-compliant USB devices. That's not encouraging at all.
