  • Right, but unfortunately that has nothing to do with compelling a witness to testify in court.

    A court can compel a witness to testify if they live x miles from the courthouse. The amount of miles is a general rule but the judge can use their discretion. Legally it’s a good argument. However since it’s such a high profile case and they have the financial means to appear then there is plenty of backup if the judge wants to compel her to show up.

  • Very astute of you to know how insurance works. Thanks for contributing positively to a discussion instead of trying to point out an obvious way things work in life.

    The lucky part is that the insurance actually paid for it.

  • Damn man, I got lucky and insurance took care of most of it.

    This is going to sound condescending but i mean it. Good for you for being happy for these dudes instead of upset about it.

    Too many times (especially recently) i see people angry that others get something they didn't. Its nice to see and restores my faith in humanity when i read things or hear things like your comment.

    Thanks man, i really needed that.

  • Okay so my question is who actually is Jesus then. Is it Obi-Wan or is it Ewan McGregor?

    Hear me out.

    Obi-Wan is incredible and has mystical powers that make you believe he can do anything or be anyone he wants when he puts the work in.

    Ewan McGregor has an incredible singing voice and has the know power to make you believe he can do anything or be anyone when he is at work.

  • Ahh. Totally understand that kind of day man. Truly I do and what an ASS for making that kind of comment. That can not be defended in any way. Sorry that kind of crap got dumped on you today.

    Yeah the lightning cable only having USB2 speeds sucked since it was never upgraded.

    I completely agree with your assessment of the “innovations”. I remember the conference they got ride of the 3.5 mm headphone Jack and they said “the courage” to do something bold. Bwahahaha. It just means everyone needed to buy an adapter for the accessories.

    In terms of using the cord I guess I am the minority then. Sorry for assuming the other way around.

  • Completely agree. No company redesigns all of their products each year. They redesign the top tier and then its shifts downward the next year. GPU, CPU, Motherboard, hell even cars do this. Not all models included Carplay and Android Auto when it launched, just the high end cars did, but now all of them do.

  • I agree the comparison between the two in terms of use is not correct or fair even. It was more of a comparison of the chips being included on the phone. I clearly did not do a good job explaining that. I assumed most people would have understood that the A17 pro chip is what is the upgrade and is the controller for the USB vs the A16 that is last years model.

    In a computer the price may be negligible but in a phone is the entire architecture of the chip so its not negligible. I don't think they are being assholes as much as not spending shit tons of money to redesign and manufacture new processors for the phone when they have old stock that can be used.

    Its a similar model that a lot of companies do, take last years best chip and put it in this years second tier device. I am not saying its great for consumers I am just saying its what is done. Not upgrading a chip is not the same as downgrading it.

  • No, that's a fair point. The Ultra Wide Band is not the same in terms of use and known like USB is. My comparison was meant to be of the chips on the phone. People are arguing that apple is "downgrading" to USB 2.0 but in reality they just aren't upgrading the A16 chip that is the USB controller. This is similar to the Galaxy Note 20 not having the upgraded chip like the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. There may be other comparisons that would be more accurate but I remembered this one specifically when I was looking to upgrade Galaxy.

  • It seems to be that you are misunderstanding the entire tech concept. There is no "downgrading" the A16 chip from last year’s pro model is the USB controller. They simply aren't upgrading that chip. It seems that you didn't read the article and thus didn't know the processors for the phone are what are controlling the USB. There is no "forcefully crippling the speed of usb" its a simple matter of taking last years top tier chip and putting it in the Second tier phone this year. This is how tech works. You don't redesign all your products, you redesign the top tier and then move those advancements down the chain next year.

    The comparison was not about a cable vs wifi. It was about the chip on the device as that is the crux of the situation and the pointed out almost at the top of the article.

    No need to be rude or insulting with the blood flowing to the brain comment. Again this seems to be fan boy attitude to shit on "the other side" and be insulting to win the argument. I have no stake in this other than pointing out that people are freaking out and getting upset because they didn't redesign the phone and architecture for $X to increase the speed of something almost no IOS user even uses.

    An honest question, do you actually use your cord the transfer data from your phone or tablet? Personally I never use the cord on my Galaxy Tab, It easier to use Wi-Fi and a shared folder on my NAS.

  • I love how these articles happen and are posted and everyone flames at apple.

    This isn’t that different than the Galaxy note 20 not having ultra wide band but the Ultra version does.

    All companies do this, otherwise why have different tiers or different models.

    Don’t get me wrong, I am thrilled they are finally using USB-C. I enjoyed the lightning when if first came out. The only cord at the time you could plug in and there was no up or down, it just want in no matter what orientation. Apple just wanted to charge everyone to use it and they screwed up with that. Now there is a full standard for every device, this is good.

    Apple fan boys and Android fan boys need to chill out. It’s just a phone, not an allegiance.

  • I'm glad you are happy with what you have. I had been happy with what I had for the past many years. I have a 12 mini right now and it is the perfect time for me to upgrade. Looking forward to it because of what I currently have vs what I will get.

  • Yeah. Take a good look at plex as the server and Plexamp as the client. You can filter the music in an almost infinite way. Even by mood. Not saying it’s perfect but it’s the best self hosted way I have found.

  • A potential idea after reading the bad with attempting the PETG route would be to create a mold from the 3d print.

    Look into silicone casting. Or whatever grade you would legit need to be safe. Not sure if pure silicone is the right route or not. At least it’s an idea of a starting point.
