Why? I didn’t pay to have a Microsoft account. I can’t make just a Minecraft account, they require my full name and date of birth to make a microsoft account. That’s an entirely different dynamic than the Mojang account that requires literally no personal information. I didn’t agree to give Microsoft my information when I bought the game, and I have no obligation to do so. They, however, have an obligation to allow me to access the game that I’ve paid for in perpetuity.
Ahh i wasn’t certain, I must have used the developed date instead of the release date on the wiki when I double checked. Thanks for the correction. C isn’t perfect, but it’s a pretty damn versatile panda convenient port in my experience.
I used to run a repair shop. USB-C is definitely a dust magnet. Lightning is no better though. I cleaned just as many Lightning ports as I did C ports. They were slightly easier to clean though, without that fragile central post getting in the way.
I’ve also worked on literally tens of thousands of iPhones, and have never seen the clamp break on a lightning port, so idk what that dude is talking about. The actual clamp is on the cable, it just sits in a hole inside the port along either wall.
Lightning was significantly ahead of the competition when it came out in 2012. Micro-USB is a terrible collection of ports. C came out two years later though, and quickly surpassed Lightning in almost every way.
I used to clean at least 2-3 USB-C ports a day, 5 days a week, at my shop. I cleaned plenty of Lightning ports too, neither really is less prone than the other to dust ingress. Lightning is easier to clean though, since you don’t have to worry about accidentally snapping the center post like you do in USB-C.
No, the USB-C ports are more fragile. I owned and operated a repair shop for multiple years. USB ports, all of them except for A, are among the most fragile ports in use on electronics. Lightning ports are significantly less prone to damage. The cables snap off in the port easily, but all you need is tweezers to pull the tip out. On USB C devices the central tongue breaks off rather frequently. C is miles ahead of Micro-B though, seriously probably the worst port in use today, including proprietary ones.
So you’re purposefully using something you dislike even more than something you call shitty? Really healthy habits there, no wonder you’re a miserable to be around.
Or, because if they start shouting it from the rooftops, people will point out that the Biden administration agreement gives them 4 days out of the 14 they were fighting for, and addresses none of the safety issues that they were fighting for.
No, they ended up with 28% of their stated request. 4 days. 4. Literally every single employee, full time or part time, in my entire state gets more than that.
I also don’t see anything about the safety issues that they were planning to strike against, which is not a small issue.
The countless documented examples of specific individuals and terms being censored disproves that. Letting one thing critical of Musk stay =/= a free speech platform.
Ads for Mother’s Day gifts are indeed valid to complain about, regardless of one’s situation, because they cheapen their bond between mother and child to a transactional relationship, not uplift moms.
China is pretty closed tight, they do less than 1% of the immigration that the US does each year. In fact, in 2022, China only issued a total of 1,576 permanent residency cards, compared to the US’s 1.2 million, or about 1/750th of the US.
I’ve looked into moving to China, it’s not easily done.
Now that’s a site I haven’t thought about in many moons.
