Sorry, old terminology strikes again. I call any thin portable computer without an ODD or FDD a netbook; because all the damn things are good for is getting on the Internet. My actual laptop, I’ve had to do physical modding to the case to give it an ODD (and it still uses a USB port because of laziness).

Very much the opposite. The only broken USB port I’ve ever had was a USB-C port for a netbook charger.

My NDS plug (and 3DS plug) stays in so firmly I’ve had to tug on it. Are we living in Bizarro-land from each other?

Lucky you. My experience has been the opposite.

Find me a USB-C that doesn’t fall out. Every Micro-USB male plug that I’ve used has those two notches at the bottom that hold it in place. Every device I’ve had with USB-C, I have to treat it like it’s super delicate while it charges.

That’s correct, and the fact that Apple caved from the 8-Pin Lightning connector to USB-C is one of many, many reasons I won’t be buying anything Apple again, even second-hand. The lack of a headphone jack is just one more thing that made me certain of it. If I could find a micro-USB device with a headphone jack that serves as a phone, a pager, a calculator, and an audio (various formats - MP2A,MP3A,MP4A,WAV, FLAC, OGG, WMA, etc.) player, all my problems would be solved. I have looked into featurephones, I think I’m going to be moving in that direction next time I upgrade.

I don’t see what the issue is here. They don’t want to be treated as a utility, but if they stay in New York, they’ll be regulated as a utility. They’ve dealt with it as a phone provider, and choose not to engage in the regulatory environment being put in front of them. It’s a totally reasonable choice for a business to walk away from a market if the cost of doing business would exceed the profits made.

Thanks to Mint’s updates… about 10 minutes.

Nah, everything is binary. We just view it through false lenses because the switches got too tiny and people got too dumb.

I am suddenly reminded of the words “shut up and sing”.

The problem is that that sometimes if you give the government the finger… you might not get it back.

I look forward to the people who don’t realize that Red Note will just get banned too.

There are dozens of us! Dozens!

PipePipe has even more sources.

Brave.

I use both Mint and Archbang. I’m half-dead to myself.

I hope you’re right. I just have the problem of thinking if you’ve got 9 megacorp supports and one nonprofit, you have 10 supporters for the largest megacorp.

When it comes to a megacorp like Alphabet/Google, assuming foul play and bribery should always be the kneejerk.

So the Linux Foundation is in Google’s pocket. Good to know,

How about the Kirby64 HUD?
