Just upgraded to the iPhone 14 Plus, got it for "free" by extending my contract for another 3 years. Works for me, I was already paying the monthly fee anyway and had no plans of leaving my carrier.

If technically feasibly, I would pay a premium for every single device and peripheral to be wireless. I want my desk to be 100% free of clutter and cables and am willing to live with having to recharge devices, paying a premium and am not a

I absolutely loved Turbo Pascal as a kid and hold that IDE as the golden standard still to this day because of its simplicity. I think what we need isn't visual tools, we need an extremely simple IDE where you press one button (F5) to
