I used to play Faery Tale Adventure on Amiga. The anti-piracy was code phrases around the edge of a paper map.

Sense of "adjust (a clock, etc.) with reference to a standard of accuracy" is by 1660s. Related: Regulated; regulating.

Did you read your own source? Or just stop at the first sentence?

Not UNIX-like, iOS is real UNIX.

I’ve had to replace 4 USB-C cables that have failed in the past year, and I’ve never replaced a lightning cable. Seriously, the cable from my iPhone 6 Plus has outlasted 4 company cars, and is currently pulling charge duty in number 5.

That’s about the only advantage for me though.

Laptops were never charged with lightning and it makes zero sense that they ever would. It was never necessary and they received a LOT of hate over using USB-C on the laptops because they were extremely early to the party. The exact same hate was heaped on them when they implemented USB before everyone else.

You apparently don’t remember (or care) about how they faced a lot of backlash when they moved from the 30-pin to Lightning on iPhone. They promised accessory manufacturers that they wouldn’t change the iPhone port again for at least 10 years, and we are right at that mark. Other products have been transitioning to USB-C in a somewhat logical order. All of the products that charge with lightning now are iPhone accessories and there is little reason to have different charge ports on products that are meant to be used together.

The only argument that isn’t just pure ignorance seems to boil down to “Apple evil”

Like how else would you get like a bike rack or a garden for your building?

You ask the owner, and then accept it will never happen.

I’m probably biased because I worked in Utah long before they ever came to Colorado and I’ve been to most of their “flagship” stores. If there’s a choice I’ll pick Maverick every time.

Also, I was pretty sure I was going to be jumped by a mob because I wore a K&G hat to a restaurant in OCC in the early-mid 2000s. The anti-Kum&Go sentiment was insane back then.

They started in 1959, and are from Iowa. K&G is okay, but Maverick is far better in every way.

What do you mean exactly? Nearly every house in Colorado has a basement.

2019 is 96w charger. 140w is 2021 or later.

Yes, the THREE-trillion dollar, 50-year-old company that figuratively just prints money is going to become so desperate that they will abandon their extremely profitable business model to become… an ad agency?

The absolutely irrelevant reference to a vague PR line in Googles old corporate code of conduct was a nice touch, though
