Is using a 30 year old VGA monitor “green”?

Multiple people were really angry when VGA ports disappeared, the amount of shitty corporate projectors with only VGA connectors was staggering and we had to resort to using adapters (“dongles”) for a long time until all of them were replaced with HDMI capable ones

Removing things is also innovation

Or do you still miss the VGA connector? A floppy disk drive? DVD drive in a laptop?

Corp accounts, Docker Desktop isn’t free for non-personal use

And the Lobby scene 10 times more than the movie 😅

And that is a bad thing?

My Xbox and PlayStation and Switch are also “closed ecosystems” and I like them too.

You can take background permissions from system apps on iOS

mAh is a stupid way to measure batteries. Wh is more relevant.

It also tells nothing about the efficiency of the device. You can add a 50kWh battery to a device but it doesn’t matter if it uses 2kWh at idle

Still light years ahead of FB groups tho

Yes

You post to a location you control, then post the link to that to other sites.

That way you own and control the content.

There’s a reason why Meta and Twitter hate external links, it takes people out of their feed

Obligatory XKCD: https://xkcd.com/386/ 😀

But more seriously: I do frequent shitty FB forums where newbies ask the same question over and over again. I can just quickly copy-paste my longish and sourced response every time. I’m pretty close to just setting up an Alfred/TextExpand macro for the most common ones 😀

(On a proper forum we could just point them to a FAQ thread, but Meta makes is intentionally hard because ✨engagement✨)
