Sure, but from some point up enterprise-class tech stops making sense for home use.

I was even thinking just about the case - good CNCd aluminium has come down in price, but it’s still expensive. You also have a point, I agree.

Ironically enough, talking about cutting expenses, the keyboard in the photo could easily cost 10 times more than the typical 100% keyboard you’d find in a corporate office.

Also “200 100” is very different from “100”.

I’m with you on the one about Instagram. I’m a hobbyist photographer trying to maintain a decent portfolio and it grinds my gears that in order to publish a collab post for example, I have to do it from the app on my phone.

Depends on the flight really. In your case I’d say yeah, it makes sense to upgrade; in my case I’m talking about a sub-1-hour flight that costs $60 in total without any upgrades. I’m on the taller side, but I’m still fine with a regular seat for such a short flight.

Got an extra legroom seat in the airplane by chance.

I have very little to do with the US and said tariffs, so I’m not affected directly.

In general though I try to be rational with big(ger) purchases - I research things for at least a week or two before buying (but more often it’s months) and try to maximise my use of what I buy.

Audio CDs are still around. While they’re surely not the medium people listen music from, they will most likely be on the merch table at the next concert you go to.

Not much. There was USB 3.0 even before the USB-C, so bandwidth-wise it’s hasn’t been a game changer. Over the years I’ve used a bunch of phones and other devices with Micro USB Type B and I’ve had one or two cables fail, but not at the connector. In fact the mouse I’m still using has Micro USB for charging and it’s been fine.

Edit: I’m not saying it’s not good; it is, but I consider it an incremental improvement, not a game changer. A game changer for me would be a standardised interface with a magnetic connector for example.

I don’t really mind. The only high bandwidth thing I use on my work laptop is the USB-C for my displays. If I ever plug something into the rest of the ports, it would be a mouse/keyboard/headset and none of those require anything more than USB 2.0.

Curious - how does the open sourcing part of the gig work?

Baby shoes. Again, tie them to the handle.

Bonus points if you print out this comic and put it right next.

I’m a programmer, but I feel like I’ve heard this outside of this field.

Speaking from experience?

Okay, that’s new.

“No, thanks, I’m vegetarian” is a useful thing you can say when someone hands you their baby.

Self-respect mostly (at least what’s left of it).

That’s why it’s discounted…

Yep, I’m familiar with those - on almost any bycicle the left pedal would tighten to the crank counterclockwise.
