I am not saying it cannot be done, I am saying that it’s hard… that means more expensive… that means that either the final price is higher or the specs are lower or there are other compromises for reducing the cost (e.g., not updating the operating system)

It’s hard to make water/dust resistant devices with the 3.5mm jack. It was designed to be simple not water resistant. Contacts are close, it’s an hole so water and dust hang out there. Some problems are shared by more modern ports (e.g., iPhone not charging because dust in the lightning jack) but to less extent. This is why they disappeared. Before it was a “must have” and producers had to either put more/better material or have a lower IP rations. After Apple showed that 90% of the people didn’t care, the others followed suits.

I guess the joke is that in Germany the high speed train is called “ICE” (named that way way before the US department)

my source is a super solid “dude on internet” 🤷‍♂️

If I recall the story correctly, the dude holding it knew what he was doing and did multiple times. Also he was terminal ill so he really didn’t care if things went wrong.

So I guess who knows even more may be relieved if in favour of consensual euthanasia 🤷‍♂️

The argument on Kling seems pretty weak to me… is he Fascist because… he doesn’t support violence and an assassination? 🙄

By this logic for being not fascist one must support the death penalty?

I am pretty sure fascists are in favour of violence and murder (in fact the person cited was killed by a fascist)
