Written by Claude, too. (well, "Grumbles", as the footnote says) I don't particularly care if it's right or not but this is ...weird. Especially from Rands. I can't parse what the idea is here, like, what's being communicated and why. The "minimal writing" version says too little, the "throw everything and the kitchen sink version" says too much. And enough of both is slop (meaning, unneeded) that it's hard to orient yourself and find a guidepost, if there is one. And I love using AI, and my reading comprehension scores have never been below 99.9%. Idk why I'm even sharing that. It's just, it's not me, it's not some battle I'm fighting, it really is a real problem, not just "oh it's Claude", it's bad writing in an alien way from an author I've always loved. EDIT: After my 11th minute and 4th read on this, it has become clear to me that the idea is, you don't want to use the cable that comes with your iPhone for general USB data transmission because it is slow. The noise in the short version is USB IF, 5gbps, MacBook Neo.

  Yeah the language is bizarre and clearly artificial. It was made by an openclaw agent almost certainly. It took me a long time to understand their point amongst points.

    No? Are you okay? (why am I asking? its in header, link works, aggro interaction)

      I'll go slow: There is a HEADER and there is a FOOTER on your site's design. The link in the FOOTER is wrong. Maybe you never knew that there is a footer on your website? You also don't need a parenthetical for so few sentences.

        I hope things get better for you, this is no way to live.
