Based on an analysis of their product line up and past actions, I believe their ultimate intention was to introduce USB-C as the port for iPhone "Pro" models and remove the port entirely from the regular non pro models, in favor o

The problem is, Microsoft is entrenched with everybody but software engineers and server administrators. Even “IT people” - their primary domain of skill is working with Windows etc… And Microsoft has leveraged this dominance to coerce comp

This is the part that's really infuriating to me that I've seen in several comments - this implication that the onus is on programmers or people who work in technology to somehow figure out a way to do this impossible thing, as if

One of the most annoying things to me of all the shit that Google pulls is that out of all of big tech they are actually the most capable of producing good software that is pleasant to use on a consistent basis. Especially web applications.

Yes… but there’s so many factors at play that I don’t know enough to speculate with any hope at accuracy about (but will because it’s interesting.) These were modern humans so they had sapience and tools and some form of organization, but h

Sometimes I go down these Wikipedia rabbit holes, and one of the most fascinating to me is extinct animals that were not dinosaurs. Specifically, how a lot of mammal apex predators are similar to extinct versions, just like, half the size.
