It would have been sweeter if it was regular USB-C, so we're not contributing to the massive piles of e-waste generated by their continually changing proprietary adapters.

I had a friend who had every single iPhone release. She'd immediately buy the new generation when it came out. You know what I really want to see, more than any of this gitter and glam and a few features here and there? A real, actual

.com is managed by VeriSign, a US company. For better or worse, that is the world we live in. But to be honest, with all the new TLDs, there's no longer anything really special about the .com/net/org domains anymore.

So you're using once stance to deny the totality of everything? Everything you read will contain both truths and lies (just watch CNN/MSNBC, which are pretty much corporate and political propaganda on the level of RT today). The C

And those requirements can be all over the place too. The admins of .lgbt will remove anything they find offensive without refund. There's still a .su if you want that soviet era cred. Another interesting case is .bio which has hard re

I remember buying one of those in 2000. It was even USB. A few years later someone gave me another eyeball Logitech without the stand and I just put it on a soda bottle filled with water with a bolt and wing nut through the cap (poor man&#x

I'm wondering how that NVME will work. The big push of the PS5 was that those built-in SSDs push a huge amount of data with their custom storage controller, allowing loading of assets in read time during gameplay. I'm guessing the
