I heard a quote in a play recently (What the Constitution Means To Be, it’s excellent go see it).

Paraphrased:

Progress isn’t linear, imagine you’re walking on a beach with a dog. The dog will run ahead or you and back towards you all while you both move along the beach. The dog is representative of the small battles won and lost, and the overall progress of society is that both are headed up the beach.

My birthday a few years ago, I realized I had lived exactly half of my life before 9/11 and half after 9/11.

Then I got depressed because from that point forward, the majority of my existence would be in a post 9/11 world.

I bet he hates student loan forgiveness for the same reason. I paid and didn’t get it for free, why should anyone else?

I think also, the removal of the port allowed for better engineering around the screen and better waterproofing and thinner devices.

I think with the EU mandating phones use USB-C, it might push apple into to drop port charging all together. You may see MagSafe only charging iPhones in the EU or everywhere soon.

It’s not to spend more money, there’s a real increase in value Bluetooth provides to most people. Yes there are edge cases, but when you can get a a blue tooth headset for $5-20 it’s not really cost prohibitive any more.

Remember when the singe piece Bluetooth mics were like $100 when Bluetooth first started hitting mainstream phones? Many people didn’t think it was worth $100 to use an unwired headset for phone calls.

Well now, that phone is also your entire music collection, your cable box and much more. Being untethered makes a lot more sense.

In addition, easily Bluetooth destroyed device batteries, now it’s more power and you can just leave it running all the time in your phone.

I’m pretty sure using iMessage and whatsapp on southwest is free and you don’t have to pay the $8

I mean it does matter, because of who is doing the bribing

It’s not children in charge, it’s old ass white guys who depend of screwing everyone over to maintain their standard of living.
