Yeah but it is (or should be) expected that to live in this world in 2023 you should know English and at least how to pronounce an acronym made by an American company

I’m Italian so not a native speaker either, I just hate ignorance and pride of one own language to the point that you don’t want to learn anything else. Happens often in my country

Reading an English word with the French pronunciation is exactly what I would expect from the French

Damn, thanks, will stop buying from them

Wondering if store credit for like PlayStation from eneba is of dodgy sourcing too… how can they have so many…

A developer friend told me the same… it’s a shame because it’s so handy with continuity between devices and all. Probably I’m just used to it

There’s also Arc for Mac. Nice but still too chromeish for me. Thank god there’s Safari

I’m happy because they make them unstealable and unresellable. Same for iPhones. A fair trade-off. I could never use any other ecosystem

They’re all correct!

Oooooh that’s why they grow a beard

Mission accomplished

I started with an Hackintosh, there wasn’t even Lightning back then. And nowadays with wireless charging you can as well never have a lightning cable at all. Anyway, good. You spared a lot of money. Once you try Apple there’s no going back. It’s like a drug. A beautiful addicting drug that makes your life better and your wallet emptier 🥲

You mean communism? I studied it. A beautiful theory. Sadly it doesn’t work

I mean, Apple went all in with USB-C in their 2016 MacBooks Pro. It was a very bold move and very early, and I’m sure it made USB C more popular as suddenly there was a need for USB C accessories. Apple always made moves like these. Removing the CD ROM drive, the Floppy disk etc. Everyone think of “lightning” in phones, but that was invented when there was only mini USB, and Apple wanted something smaller, and pluggable from whenever side (like USB C now). I don’t think Apple kept using Lightning to be “different”, but because its clients already have a lot of lightning stuff at this point (like me). I’m happy that Apple is moving (or forced to move) to USB C in their mobile phones, but just because at this point I have already USB C stuff. I’m glad they stuck with Lightning these last years. Anyway, I don’t care, but there’s just this meme that Apple wants to be different and create issues, but as a 15+ years Apple user after being a pc user from the early 90s I don’t feel like this is true.

Nope, Apple participated in the creation of the USB-C standard, with a pretty big role in it apparently https://9to5mac.com/2015/03/14/apple-invent-usb-type-c/

I mean, to switch it off 😆

True. But there’s this kind of nostalgia for communism and what started the revanchism of the late '90s in KGB officials and Putin that stopped Russia’s evolution in a free country. Kind of sad, they have now the worst of both worlds

I agree too. The problem is many communist are actually Russian propagandists. There, they “really” think communism is a viable option. But openly discussing this stuff without bias? That would be awesome. Also probably not happening

I wish there was a “Show Communism” switch too

Apple basically invented USB-C

Memmy, love it
