And is in a closed universe.

Has "accessories" that cost how much more than any generic android accessory?

Has a closed appstore.

​

"Study" huh?

Who paid for it?

Don’t care. Still not using the M1 chip, and still using Lightning Cable to charge… Maybe they get it right on the 15, but I doubt it. Apple has been on a slide towards mediocrity since Steve died.

Which is cool and all but what did we benefit from using legislature to make Apple do this. The biggest argument is this idea of e-waste reduction because less cords but they fail to acknowledge that every manufacturer is just going to put new USB-C cables with every new device, and the customer convenience one just seems like such a forced argument. Like “sometimes people forget their chargers at home we should make a law so they’ll always have a charger!”

My family room has side windows, easy to close blinds, lights will be on during the day inside for when the kids watch tv, my wife and I will watch our shows at night with everything dark, C2 still ok to get?

Yeah I think the highest other widescreen odyssey type is only 1440. So this will be 2160p version.

I find dials helpful for almost all graphic/photo/video/audio. Change brush size or flow, scale elements, cycle presets and tools… I have a Logitech Craft keyboard but their software disconnects with apps constantly, so in bought one of these to use with the Adobe Suite. I have a StreamDeck XL now, and am excited to compliment it with dials because I find that better for several functions.

And Apple is implementing the Thunderbolt standard, which means all the extras that USB-C has listed as optional will be fully supported.

Eh I prefer “Social Isolation Penis”

I don't think the cost is filthy IF the quality matched the price, however their cables are really low quality, better than a lot of aftermarket cables, but Apple set the bar really low. I'd pay US$50 for a cable if i knew it would last for near forever. I am so glad it's going USB C (not that USB C is that great. It handles moisture badly, and it can burn out just from high humidity). But at least now everything will at least be the same 😀 Apple's Lightning connector is a little superior in robustness, but it's no longer sufficient for today's tech.

Not my experience with the C1. I have used it for a year as my desktop computer for work and play. No burn in yet

I dunno. I search “lightning cable” and get $10 for a 3 pack of 6 foot cables.

That definitely could be a location thing. I don’t know and that shit sucks too.

Average cost on the first page of Amazon results for both. I personally don’t leave the house much, is that my problem maybe? I’m autistic and the arthritis in my vocal chords starts acting up at the thought of there being a slight chance of needing to make eye contact with another instance of sentience.

I don’t know? Where do you live? Where are you buying from? What brand are you buying? What type of cable are you buying?

See: “in a lot of markets.”

Why does an Apple charger cost me $20-$30 then? Better performant USB-C cables cost around $8.

Undeniably the standard was was developed years after lightning was already on devices. Also afaik they’re only enforcing the type-c form factor not the usb-c standard.

lighting is var inferior to usb c in every way, low power, lower speed, lower quality. USBc was developed by a conglomerate including apple.

I'm conflicted on patent laws. They do encourage innovation but also can stifle innovation. Look at placed like china that have little to no patent laws. Things innovate very fast there, but the quality tends to be low, they basically operate on the open source software example.

The dark side of patent law is every one seams to know someone who had a industry changing invention that was bought and squashed, likely much of that is myth tho.

I also don’t mean to come off as a fuck the government type of person all the way, it just kinda rubbed me the wrong way a lot of the usb-c stuff was being discussed. It seemed to be a witch hunt against propietary technology that without a doubt was innovative when it debuted. I get a bit concerned that it may stifle technological pursuits in the future in fear of the law.

Most patent laws make sense to me, as a way to receive fair compensation for a invention for a significant amount of time. As an engineer this is very logical to me, mechanism achieves x by doing y.

Copyright has always been a bit funny to me especially when it comes to things like color collections and music/sampling. I feel like a lot of rulings really break down to previous cases and public perception. Also it’s protected for what really seems way to long of a time. I don’t know much about copyright law to be honest but when compared to patent law it comes off as random especially if you subscribe to the idea of all creative ideas being derivative of the past e.g. “nothing is truly unique.” and if you start to argue about the idea of inherit “value” in the arts as opposed to using the arts to make value like a concert or show.
