There are ways of making money without damaging society.

And so what? I have 1.5 Gb symmetrical with latency to many sites and game servers under 10 ms (on Wi-Fi!)

I have fiber to home in Canada

In the US there exists a system where you have to pay for healthcare up to a certain value, beyond which insurance covers the costs. It’s common to have this deductible reset every year.

Don’t worry it’s not an attack on you or a lie about what you said, just sarcasm.

Starlink is definitely at a loss right now. Despite this, Falcon 9 launch costs are significantly lower for actual customers as well, and the reuse factor cannot be ignored

That’s a tablet with a keyboard case

All I’m hearing is potential savings $$$

Haven’t been on there since the event, though I do read some threads if they come up in a search. Not intending on returning, though I haven’t gotten rid of my old account yet

Right now they’re actually doing more launches with less money and waste, but hate on I guess

For c to c cables, the devices need to be able to communicate with each other to establish which one is the host (the charger in this case). With a to c cables, the type a side is assumed to be the host by default. You’ll often find that manufacturers of cheaper devices prefer not to spend the extra money to implement this technology, though some will, and in fact allow for even more functionality. For example, one of my flashlights does have that chip, so it can both charge from a c to c cable if a charger is detected, and also automatically act as a power bank if I connect a device to it such as a mobile phone.

It’s not difficult to find though it can be expensive. I’ve been using Anker multi port type c chargers for years

Of course

Claims not to need active internet connection

Same on all points

But how else could companies make more money off of something you already paid for? Will someone think of the shareholders‽

Grayjay is also an option

New electronics smell so good though. I’m OK to lose a couple hours of my life expectancy to enjoy that, in moderation.

It’s a bit different because the short videos are algorithmically targeted for individuals, as opposed to the viewpoints just being broadcast. This makes it much easier to manipulate people in specific ways

Some day most people will upgrade their devices and it will become smarter to go back to 5GHz

Would be funny, anyway
