LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO. Apple got rid of the port only in terms of profit and loss, by going BT only they killed an open standard that the rest of the industry was using happily and started to shove over priced wireless earbuds down everbodies throat. By creating the problem and selling bt earbuds apple profited from removing the 3.5mm jack Crapple has increased E-Waste with single use and not easily swappable batteries in airpods etc. There is no reason to kill the 3.5 mm jack but the rest of the industry got gready when apple saw how they fleeced their customers (not apple products users are customers not users as how apple locks down features after repair, you don't own you phone when apple says cool you dont get Super retina xdr after getting you phone screen fixed)

Really a true engineering marvel. Somehow I always get the feeling that things made in the past were just much better designed.

I’ve been on the newer ones now over 10 times in intercontinental flights as well. They’re pretty nice, but I feel like they’re more cramped. The double decker was always cool, and they had more space in seats in all classes it felt like. And I know this doesn’t matter much but it was always nice knowing there were 4 engines when being hours over the ocean lol

I thought they had already set the date for end of 2023. That’s frustrating fornme

Maybe it’s just me, I can’t say I’ve ever had an instance where I wanted to walk around with my phone tethered to a battery pack.

It’s a reasonable concern though. I’m not even saying wireless would be a better option just that Apple doesn’t tend to like governments telling them what they can and can’t use so it seems like them to just ditch the wire all together. Personally as someone with a bunch of Lightning accessories and no USB-C ones I’m not really happy with either outcome.

You and all of us boxie

What if you’re charging your phone on the go though? Wireless charging isn’t bad if you charge your phone while you sleep, but what if you’re walking around and using a battery pack, what if you’re charging but still picking your phone up and putting it down? I personally have made all my peripherals wireless, but I still prefer to charge my phone via cable just because it’s easier to move the phone than with a puck stuck to the back of it.

Get ready for “courage”

I still have no idea what right to repair people even want.

What do you mean you lost the baby?

Go find it.

The B-52, C-130, and CH-47 are all currently projected to have over a century in service by the time they retire the platforms.

Usb C can charge 240 watts now, my powerful gaming laptop is 280 from the brick, and it’s fine. Iv even used a 50 watt brick on lower power mode while light gaming and it still charged. PD from Usb C is not an issue at all.

I’ve flown 747 a few times. It’s alright. The seating class matters way more. I’d prefer lay down seats in business class on any aircraft that has them.

Do you miss them because the newer planes are not as good?

I'd be surprised if Apple keeps standard Qi charging once/ if they move to a portless iPhone, they'll probably be all like "Because many companies use Qi, the standard needs to move slow to ensure compatibility, which is why we courageously decided to no longer support Qi and introduce our new MagSafe 2.0, a much better standard than Qi"

Asus rog flow x13 supports only original charger with full power. So Asus already don't care about standards.

They have not confirmed usb-c, they have confirmed that they will comply with future iPhones needing usb c for wired charging, which if they completely kill wired charging would satisfy the law also

With ADB app control you can delete any app you want from any android phone.

One UI + ADB App Control gives you a phone with more powerful hardware, and software with less bugs/crashes. I will never get over the fact the pixels will never replace the nexus line. The Samsung Galaxy Nexus was the pinnacle of Nexus phones (imho).

I won't buy another Google phone again sadly. By the time any manufacturer will release their foldable phone In the western market, Samsung already has a 5th or 6th generation foldable while other manufacturers will have to play catch up.

The very same law also standardizes fast charging

Snazz?

It's not the same plane as the first one anyway. They only look similar and share the same name. They will bring back a new version soon enough.

Yep the passenger version of the 747 has been out of production for years except for one-offs like the new versions of AF1.

I got to fly on two 747's on my trip to America in 2018 and was so sad to see those Qantas 747's were both retired not long after.

I was absolutely ecstatic when I booked a flight to europe next year and the flight from Singapore to Frankfurt is on a Lufthansa 747. It's going to be awesome.
