MFI certification I don’t. They didn’t do it with iPads or MacBooks, why with iPhones?

Kinda already answering your own question. Those products converted to USB C a while ago, and there hasn't been a technical reason to not convert iPhone for at least as long. Why not iPhone? It's probably because if I had to guess, the MFI business is like, a lot of money. Probably hundreds of millions.

If you follow apple and the rumors fairly closely, this is one that at this point will be a surprise if it doesn't happen.

But actually the free market would take care of this because capitalism is so great. Anyway, I have to get back to freebasing whatever's under my sink now.

They do have a solid rumor that they're sticking with USB 2.0 speeds for for the USB C iPhone and that non-MFI certified cables may be slow charging only, so while I've got my finger's crossed that's false since I'm an iPhone guy, Apple still seems to be looking for a way to skirt the EU and still get the accessory cut.

I was using Chrome as a secondary because unfortunately "designed for Chrome" is a thing now, and got sick of Google's bullshit and thought I was doing better by going to Brave. Unfortunately, it quickly became clear that Brave has its own large ethical holes.

Remember that time he offered to solve world hunger but then didn't because "nah" basically?

Ticks and Leeches (I've seen it live in one of the rare times they've played it) also goes into the "how's he doing that" category.

And then I'd put The Pot up there just because that intro was such a mindblower when it came out.

Her live stuff, or isolated vocals, or her live isolated vocals is pretty next level.

Welp, this is embarrassing. I totally glossed right over that...
