His mother’s very proud.
It is shocking that they waited this long.
Lemmy is a federation of servers. “Lemmy” is not one political group with one viewpoint. If you’re looking for different viewpoints, try different groups, or different servers.
In another comment you said this about the comments you read:
they’re made in bad faith
I don’t think this is true. I think that what you think is “bad faith” is actually “people who disagree with me”. So far, most users of Lemmy appear to trend politically left by American standards, but that’s only because American standards are so absurdly skewed to the right that it appears to stand out. By American standards, “truth” is left-wing.
Ask yourself what you’re actually looking for.
Why not use “triple” for three, which actually does mean three.
So, “yes”, but also no. You’ll lose the calibration panel for your display, and the result will probably be unwatchable.
You’re much better off buying a display which is un-smart to start with. These are often called “commercial displays”. Or of course you could just buy a monitor.
Apple TV boxes have no ads.
I know everyone here hates Apple, but, there it is.
3.5” disks were standard on the Acorn Electron, and optional upgrades for the BBC Micro and BBC Master.
iPhones and iPads are not technically consoles but they do have very robust parental controls.
Apple Music pays more than Spotify. It’s probably still not “decent”, but it’s more.
What is the alternative?
DoorDash “tips” are done before your food arrives, not after, and you can’t change them after you order.
They’re not tips, they’re bribes.
Am owner of 3-year-old model X. Can confirm. Build quality is shit, and service experience is worse. Will never buy another Tesla.
Sure! I’d be happy to.
The satellites operate in an extremely low orbit. At the end of their life they are manually de-orbited. If they fail, they will naturally de-orbit themselves in just a few years. They contribute to “space junk” in no way.
The precise position of all the Starlink satellites is known, and space is much bigger than you appear to be imagining, so the network will in no way impede lauching rockets.
There is no need to simply make stuff up about Starlink. There are plenty of reasons to hate Elon without inventing things.
This is a complete non story. They have a design life of only a few years. They have already been replaced in orbit with upgraded ones.
Total clickbait.
…says “analyst” that doesn’t know how many pre-orders Apple has taken.
Because famously you can get Doom to run on things with a screwdriver.
Apple only provides usb 3.1 speeds on iPhone Pro and only if you buy a new cable from Apple.
You don’t have to keep repeating this made-up lie. While it’s true that it only comes with a USB 2.0 cable, you don’t have to buy a USB 3 cable from Apple. Any USB 3 cable will work just fine.
This is asinine. Apple has shown a strong commitment to supporting particular standards for extended periods. For example, the iPhone’s 30-pin connector was maintained for over 10 years. Similarly, the Lightning port, its successor, has also been around for about a decade. (And, it should be noticed, started being used two years BEFORE USB-C existed.) Additionally, Apple has supported the Thunderbolt standard throughout its life cycle.
Apple has always been judicious about the ports it adopts. The company is not known for having a plethora of ports catering to multiple generations of connector technologies. Instead, when Apple picks a standard, it tends to go all in. Take the case of USB-A: Apple was one of the early adopters of this technology and supported it for approximately 20 years before making the switch to USB-C. To put this in perspective, the time between the USB Mini to Micro switch and the Micro to USB-C transition was shorter than the lifespan of Apple’s 30-pin and Lightning connectors.
It’s unreasonable to assume that Apple would restrict the cables that can be used in a standard USB-C port. The USB-C standard is built on the principle of universal compatibility. Restricting this would not only break with the standard but also limit the very advantages that have made USB-C popular among consumers and manufacturers alike.
This is a common misconception, and it’s funny that people still believe it all these years later.
While it’s true that Windows 95 relied on MS-DOS for bootstrapping and provided a DOS-like interface for running legacy applications, it wasn’t “just a shell” on top of DOS. Windows 95 introduced a 32-bit multitasking environment, a completely new user interface, and a separate set of APIs for software development (Win32). It had its own kernel that provided services like memory management and hardware abstraction, separate from DOS.
The integration with DOS was mainly for backward compatibility, allowing users to run older software. But once you were in the Windows 95 environment, DOS was essentially sidelined, and Windows 95’s own features and architecture took over.
