The real status symbol chopstick material (although a bit gauche these days) is ivory, though. Those are grippy, light, nice to touch, and durable.

"Zero Covid" was a great strategy during the wild / Alpha / Delta phases of the pandemic, if the population tolerated it. In this Omicron phase, however, health outcomes from infection have been mild, and most susceptibl

The USB-C wall wart is pretty awesome, though. It charges the phone surprisingly fast if you're used to older tech. It's worth the upgrade. (You don't have to buy an Apple one, just one that supports USB-PD.) https:/

Agreed! As someone who just completed a 2,000 mile electric road trip, it wasn't TOO inconvenient, but we had to choose our dining based on what was near the charger, and we mostly chose our lodging based on who had overnight charging

I don't think they know yet. It's pretty plain that source code exfiltration occurred, though. It's not clear to me how exactly to confirm that the exfiltration happened to your account or not. From the other thread: > Gi
