i catch myself up saying contradictory things but usually they aren't in immediately sequential statements. and when i gently caress up, i go read a book on my e-reader so my brain gets smarter. i also compulsively eat my own hair, urinate myself when i see fire and live in a dilapidated shed for 2 days a week, the whole time wearing a mask in case anyone comes in. so take if from me you're a hosed up idiot.

well your consistency lies in waking up every day and choosing to carry on this charade, defend dumb and contradictory opinions, and save the momentary humiliation of saying you were wrong. which is really brief. everyone forgets about it. don't open any emails about me with attachments though.

Gurman: Apple Considered Removing Lightning Connector on iPhone X

As a side note in his report about technical challenges facing the AirPower, expected to be released by September, well-connected reporter Mark Gurman also noted that Apple considered removing wired charging from the iPhone X.

From his Bloomberg News story:

quote:

During the development of the iPhone X, Apple weighed removing the wired charging system entirely. That wasn't feasible at the time because wireless charging was still slower than traditional methods. Including a wireless charger with new iPhones would also significantly raise the price of the phones.

Just to be absolutely clear, Gurman confirmed to me that this would have included removing the Lightning connector from the device. In fact, his report notes that Apple designers eventually hope to "remove most of the external ports and buttons on the iPhone," although this is likely multiple years away.

A few years ago, it was reported that Apple's design chief Jony Ive's end goal is for the iPhone to resemble a "single sheet of glass," while Apple has repeatedly expressed its ambitions to "create a wireless future," so the eventual removal of the Lightning connector should perhaps come as no surprise.

yospos is the cool place to hang out. You can find most of the cool people there. in yospos you can just chill and do whatever and totally relax. "take it easy" is the yospos motto, for example, that's how laid back it is there. show up if you want to have a good time. another good reason to show up is if you want to hang out with friends.

how is it

with a supported TB3/AMD configuration in macos it works pretty well. in boot camp or with an Nvidia card it is a pain to get working. whether I’d recommend it or not depends on what you want to do with it. if it’s for gaming I’d say buy a windows box or a console or whatever because that’ll work better. there’s significantly less bandwidth for TB3 than there is for an x16 pcie bus, so if you’re aiming for really high frame rates at 1080p it won’t work well. 4K or something that’ll tax the GPU itself more will probably work fine.

I wish Siri had more than three choices of accent. Like maybe a Scottish one (unintelligible to all) or a South African one (which would respond to all inputs by talking in a loud and drink-slurred voice of their deep and abiding hatred of "Bliks")?

diskpart clean in windows won't format hfs+ so couldn't you wipe the disk or the partition table with a command-line tool, or are you saying the macos cli is literally incapable of making those filesystem operations

afaik there is no equivalent of diskpart clean in cli diskutil. i was able to get it to format with cli diskutil, but only after i used windows diskpart clean to unfuck whatever the macos GUI disk utility did. formatting the drive in diskpart is a separate operation from clean
