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.

When you give the task to an intern-to-be.

I’d be screwed.

If all you have is a hammer, everything else looks like a nail.

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

Unfortunately “punish them by not buying it” won’t work for someone as big as them.

I’m saying that the sources of income are the same regardless of what the company structure or the software licence is.

Treat it however you want - from what I know even Mozilla has the same arrangement with Google and Firefox.

Partner integrations from what I know - search engines, bookmarks and so on.

CEOs gonna CEO.

Baby shoes. Again, tie them to the handle.

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

I feel that many Russians are against Putler’s regime, but are (rightfully so) too afraid to speak up.

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.

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.

I’ve heard the right hand rule regarding magnetism and current direction (because it’s useful to illustrate correlation between vectors), but never about screws. Now that I think of it, it makes perfect sense there too, only that you have to imagine a thumb pointing down most of the time…

I can’t think of an equivalent phrase in Bulgarian for that, but it’s known that [most] threads tighten when turning clockwise… and if you don’t know what direction the clock goes, what are you even doing with screws or bolts…

And again there are special cases even outside of threads - for example in plumbing there are some valves that are open when the handle is parallel to the pipe and closed when the handle is perpendicular - and it might just happen that the closing motion happens counterclockwise.
