The charger is still USB C- one end of the unattached cable is MagSafe, the brick side is USB C, and can charge other USB C devices using a C to C cable - I often use it to quickly charge my iPad Pro.

Current CNN has lost their special standing as the honest news broker. What appeal do they have over the masses of news content providers/commentariat at this stage?

It’s interesting though that the hardware and software is all there, but something prevents accessing it- autistic savants ala ‘rainman’ can do instantaneous math at computer-like speed. There are humans who have near total recall. I think

Lost SHOULD have been the opposite, but it instead just piled on new mysteries that were never answered except ‘Dallas’ Who Shot JR style- i.e. it’s just a dream (or in this case purgatory.)

Maybe it's my time on staff at a college newspaper in the early 90s. Neutral voice reporting was drilled into us pretty mercilessly. When it is a pretty straightforward recounting of an event, just give me the facts please. Its his own

It's really unfortunate the discursion the article took into ripping into Musk at a personal level- it changed the tenor from professional and thoughtful into a partisan attack. Its unfortunate at a larger level that the commentariat c

Ok, that explains it. I have a usb powered LED lamp that I’ve been trying to recharge via a c to c cable- but it only works with a b to c. Thought it might be the cable at first, but it was general. Just couldn’t think of a reason why it wa

My daughter’s boyfriend just bought a MacBook for college- his first Mac. He was immediately flummoxed going to the app store looking for apps that on a Mac are just websites. He was somewhat appeased when I helped him find the Spotify Mac

I assume Apple’s ‘Fusion’ drive tech is still active in their OS for backwards compatibility. It’d be interesting to try it on one of these drives.

I saw a post on the eBay subreddit from a seller regarding shipping. They looked at the price to ship the item through eBay, popped off to a third party shipper to price compare- when they came back to eBay it quoted a new lower price.
