Not much. There was USB 3.0 even before the USB-C, so bandwidth-wise it’s hasn’t been a game changer. Over the years I’ve used a bunch of phones and other devices with Micro USB Type B and I’ve had one or two cables fail, but not at the connector. In fact the mouse I’m still using has Micro USB for charging and it’s been fine.

I don’t really mind. The only high bandwidth thing I use on my work laptop is the USB-C for my displays. If I ever plug something into the rest of the ports, it would be a mouse/keyboard/headset and none of those require anything more than USB 2.0.

Curious - how does the open sourcing part of the gig work?

A sports piece of clothing or equipment is functional with or without the flashy branding; a piece of merch however is not (especially if it’s just decorative - like a pin, a sew-on patch or something like that).

Same sentiment here - but with the exception of band t-shirts and other merchandise - where in most cases you do want to show your support for the artist.

Unfortunately “punish them by not buying it” won’t work for someone as big as them.

I’m saying that the sources of income are the same regardless of what the company structure or the software licence is.

Treat it however you want - from what I know even Mozilla has the same arrangement with Google and Firefox.

Partner integrations from what I know - search engines, bookmarks and so on.

CEOs gonna CEO.

Baby shoes. Again, tie them to the handle.

Bonus points if you print out this comic and put it right next.

I feel that many Russians are against Putler’s regime, but are (rightfully so) too afraid to speak up.

I’m a programmer, but I feel like I’ve heard this outside of this field.

Platform-wise, it’s already proven that it’s a viable alternative (with some advantages even - the federated nature for one), but content-wise, it has A LOT to catch up (because let’s be honest - in addition to all the bullshit and toxic people, Reddit has tons of useful information and good people still).

I wish there were more things like this (and not just flashlights) - made with some thought put in. And to anyone who’d whine about the price, the fact that you have them 10+ years later says enough.

Self-respect mostly (at least what’s left of it).

That’s why it’s discounted…

Yep, I’m familiar with those - on almost any bycicle the left pedal would tighten to the crank counterclockwise.
