I have friends who still have iPhone XR, XS etc and those came with USB A bricks. And any time I buy some cheap gadget with a USB-C port it just comes with a USB-A to C cable. So I can see lots of people still out there with only USB A chargers, although you'd think they would be in the minority now.
The MagSafe ones can still charge over USB-C if you want to, using MagSafe is optional. I never bring the MagSafe cable when I travel and just use regular USB-C cables.
Also you have Chinese BYD making huge inroads in various markets now. They're going to massively drop the price floor for features that are seen as luxury right now.
Can the US just institute a yearly recurring "impeachment day" holiday where you impeach the current president? It will make things so much easier to schedule around, and we know that from now on every president from both parties will be threatened by impeachment anyway.
Yeah there's no way they're going to hit that 2025 deadline. BT started replacing people's landlines last year but had to halt the project as it was too confusing for the elderly, etc and now they have to do a rethink about how to move everyone over
Immigrants don't want to live in rural towns. I remember when a group of refugees were bussed in Sweden and they revolted that they didn't get to stay in a city.
I mean even LOCAL people don't want to live in rural towns, that's why they're depopulated.
Culture aside, pretty much every country has its pension and health care schemes set up as basically Ponzi schemes - they require young people (who don't need much healthcare and don't get pension) paying in to support the simultaneous payouts for the elderly. You have twice as many elderly as young, suddenly the young need to pay in twice as much.
Korea has been fairly stable they are rolling towards the same sort of downturn themselves
Korea is actually in a worse position than Japan, far from being fairly stable their reproduction rate has been crashing far quicker and passed Japan years ago.
I'm raising a family here in Japan. Pick them up from daycare, take them to the clinic when sick, go to bars, talk to cabbies. Never had a hint of negativity about it.
Sure there's xenophobia in Japan, lots of it, but I've never seen this meme of "they love tourists but when they hate it when you move there!" that people (who mostly have not lived in Japan) repeat online.
If anything, the examples of racism I see are the opposite - they dislike tourists who barge into small corner bars and violate local manners, but if you live there, speak the language and show an understanding of the customs they're fine with you.
They're not even selling it, they're just giving it away due to incompetence.
They added the pixel to track their ad click through rate (and to automatically optimize the targeting based on people who click through).
The pixel sends off the URL of the current page when a user visits. The search form put the GPA you entered to search for in the URL, so it gets sent off as part of the URL.
There's no way Facebook even realized this or utilized the data in any way, it just happens to be in the URL by mistake and they get millions of URLs sent to themselves every second, no way do they actually bother to sit and analyze what's in them.
The reason is that like with the iPhone 14, in the non-Pro models they put the SoC from the previous year's Pro model, and that one was only designed for Lightning so only USB 2.0. So the non-Pro will get USB 3 once the USB 3-supporting SoC trickles down from the Pro.
Wow those Seagate 14 TB numbers look pretty terrible (even ignoring the model with a tiny sample size), I guess I'm lucky that Toshiba drives are the cheapest here so that what we have the most of
