*: I'm late 1980 so I'm never sure whether I'm X or Millennial. Also the use of "generations" to define broad swaths of population is politically reductive and deeply disrespectful towards people's lived experiences.

iirc anything between 1980 and 2000 is millennial. so no, you ain't genx those people are all pushing 40

Lol this is Tim Cook’s Apple. Powermat, Mac Pro, the new Mac Pro, messages in the cloud, multi-party FaceTime, iPhone XR... half the poo poo Apple announces these days is vaporware or has delivery windows measured in Friedman units.

ghettoblaster was a term invented by black people and nobody is gonna be offended by it. roboshit is being very offended by minorities not liking slurs today. in fact, it's all he can talk about in the computer forum.

Then you have a responsibility that no man has ever faced. You have your fear which could become reality, and you have Godzilla, which is reality.

I really don't understand why we didn't just do cradle chargers instead. the wireless charging use case is mostly bedside and couch side tables and a cradle would do just as nicely and have a physical connection for fast charging.
