For that you might need an analyst. Or a therapist?

Those of us who never had to buy them now have to for backward compatibility. That especially includes us iPhone people who are new to the party and have to buy both the newer standard and the older. There are a lot of iPhone people.

That’s more of an Apple issue than a USB issue, imo.

For anyone, you have to carry double the number of cables. You might find a modern charger or you might find an older one.

I agree that’s annoying. But again, once the transition started, C-C cables came with A-C adapters. Those still exist.

Are you asking why USB-C is more convenient? It’s smaller, it’s reversible, it carries more power, it has faster data …. How’s it not more convenient?

The size difference is minimal. If you’re saying you can bring a C-C cable but not an A-C cable, I don’t believe you. Reversible is just a matter of flipping it if it’s wrong. USB-A still has up to 30 W. Do you really need fast charging in public outlets? Data is moot, since we’re talking about charging and ideally even using non-data cables to avoid unintentional data transfer.

I had to look up what that means. Does it really matter that much? We have fast chargers using A-C cables for phones since far back. Is PD that much better?

USB-c are more convenient and have a wider range of uses.

How? Since USB-C has been around for so long, A-C cables have been the norm from the start. Everyone has them already. I don’t see the downside.

Wait. I thought they were saying it’s annoying that there are now USB-C outlets replacing USB-A, which would be a waste. They actually want USB-C outlets?! I’d guess at least half of all USB-C cables are USB-A to USB-C. There’s absolutely no reason to switch from A-outlets.

Not really bad if you use a power-only cable.

Or a USB condom. But I never really hear about those anymore.

Into another environment?

Here in Denmark (maybe all EU, not sure) a dashcam has to be turned on manually. If it were to turn on automatically with the car, it’d be illegal. I’m guessing laws across the world could be stopping such a rollout.

I guess it depends on how far North you live. I’m a Swede too, and cars in summer with no A/C would be unbearable.

No. I will not eat the handles. Why waste my appetite on dry bread?

You can use FF’s or Chrome’s cookie files: http://aria2.github.io/manual/en/html/aria2c.html#load-cookies

I would recommend Aria2. It can download several chunks of a file in parallel, resume downloads automatically with a set number of retries, it supports mirrors (maybe not an option for Google Takeout, but for other cases), and it can dpwnload over many different protocols.

In Swedish I pronounce y as y. It has its own sound and doesn’t sound like another letter, so it can’t be written as a combination of other letters.

Not in Sweden. Veveve.

Not even one bit. Fluffy bread is superior in every way in my opinion. And eating raw oats is just nasty.

Real bread (Google “Schwarzbrot”), real cereals

Way to gatekeep. 🙄

Very much depends on the bread. I wouldn’t refridgerate toast or other super white breads, but moist, dark, kernely ryebreads are supposed to be refrigerated. They dry out super easily otherwise.

Wait. When did onboard sound get good enough that you don’t need a soundcard? My computer is “only” 12ish years, and it has a soundcard. The reason used to be that internal ones sounded like shit.
