Most likely, they weren't looking at the A16 needing to support USB3, since it was a phone chip (iPads now running on Mx chips instead), and Lightning didn't support USB3. The USB-C mandate was only a year ago, and I expect they p

Anecdata: my current iPhone is 4 years old, and the previous one is in my kid's hands (7 years old at this point, and going to be replaced by my current one because lack of future updates on that one).

Technically, there was no iPhone 2. There's iPhone, then iPhone 3G, then 3GS. The latter 2 had a plastic back. And aluminum does break. It just doesn't shatter like glass can.

I doubt MacOS, but... the USB-C port on the new ones does support DisplayPort over USB-C, so you should be able to plug it into a dock with all of those. I'm sure there will be experimentation with what that means exactly, but an iPhon

I'm pretty sure the EU said adapter is no longer good enough. The cable included in the box for a couple years has been a Lightning to C cable.

Conveniently, that's actually the case. A USB-C port should provide no power if there's nothing plugged in, and that's sensed by the data connection pairs. However, to support A-C adapters, you can fake it through the normal

The problem is: how well can you interact with a phone the size of a watch? I mean, for some things, yeah, it works fine. But other things? There's a reason why phones have been getting larger (no iPhone Minis anymore). Even Android si

Someone mentioned fraud protection, to be more explicit: With credit cards, you haven't truly paid until the credit card bill gets paid. So, if you have a dispute, you don't have to pay the disputed amount until the dispute is res

You can't put a value > 1000 in the boxes. So if you want to put more than $1M, you can't.

A good portion of why Canada has most taxed property being mortgaged is because of the short terms of the mortgages. You can get a 5-year loan, but that isn't going to be enough to pay off the mortgage. You just end up getting another

My Father in Law got one recently that has a fan to blow the gasket dry after use, so you don't have to have the door left open. There's a small grill on the top of the door that the air exhausts out of. It's something I&#x27

V2/R gets you for running it on 208V. It's getting only 75% power then.

Slight variations on the electronics give slightly different characteristics, and hence different power draws... but also, the batteries are also going to have slightly different capacities, so you have random amounts of power draw clustere

The width of the boat doesn't matter too much, surprisingly. It's mostly the length. From the waterline length you can guess how fast a ship is, regardless of the displacement. It's part of why the rumors that the Nimitz clas

It doesn't even have to discard the communism. Look it Vietnam: we fought a war against them in living memory, and we invite their people to go through our military training schools now so they can see how we do things.

I believe Tailscale re-incorporated from a Canadian company into a US company for various compliance things being easier, but a consequence is that now they have to follow certain US obligations WRT Cuba, amongst others.

One of the key design parameters is the thermal diffusivity of the gas. The greater it is, the deeper the stack can be, and the better it performs. Helium is about 190, while nitrogen is about 22. Next best to helium is hydrogen, but that h

Ikea does have a higher end bookcase than Billy: Hemnes[0]. It's like 2x the price, and I think it's worth about that, given it's made from mostly solid wood (back is still fiberboard). 0: https://www.ikea.com/

I bought quite a few of the Hemnes bookshelves[0] from Ikea. They aren't garbage pressboard, but also not terribly expensive. They actually replaced the garbage pressboard shelves I had that cost like $20 each, because I got tired of f

You're stuck in the UNIX-ism of everything is a file. So things are files in Unix that in other operating systems are not. COM1 is a file in Windows. It doesn't make sense to transfer COM1 over the network. You can't store it

The Keyboardio Model 100[0] has 1/4-20 threaded holes (standard tripod) in the bottom, so you can add them onto whatever crazy setup you have that uses that threading. So, you'd have to hack together a stand, probably, but once yo

Similarly, I configured my mail server to use the system "tag.user@domain". So you can't use the same heuristic as gmail, because if you try to do an untagged email, you likely just give the tag, which doesn't correspond

Food Network apparently tries to localize the URL based on geolocation, and sends me to a .co.uk "equivalent" URL, which then fails to load.

Can you send a write only file over the network? UNIX socket file? Device file? Setuid bit? What does setuid even mean when you push the file onto a Windows box? Most people are only concerned with blob attachments when they say file.

"Standardized". The allowable voltage for power is normally something like 6%. When they switched from the mis-mash of 220 and 240V to 230V, they specified the allowable voltage range was wide enough to encompass both of those, in
