If iPhones have replaceable batteries (the kind you can slot in and out) then you’d be right. Replacing an iPhone battery at an Apple Store costs about 1/3 the price of the phone by the time you need it replaced, so ideally one would w

I couldn’t get Docker to run with WSL backend on a freshly installed Windows 11 Pro, a very common use case. I’m not sure if they even test their own software.

You can buy a Honda Civic and rip out the head unit. But yeah, infotainment screen is nice for the first week but is good as useless.

I find it easier to install AdGuard extension on Safari and then Apple play the video to the TV. You get native player and no ads.

It is of my opinion that if the manager had to be babied that way they have no business being a manager, especially in leading a technical team.
