I’m gonna guess he has way more than two burners. The dude is an addict, tweeting is all he has.

What a useless headline. God forbid they just give the actual capacity rather than some abstract, bullshit, flexible measure that means nothing to anyone.

How are running out of gas at home? I’ve never once in 30+ years run out of gas, and the only times I’ve even been close have been when I’m hours away from home.

This is a solution to a problem I’d bet almost no one has ever encountered.

Yeah, but you can have those without being attached to a gas station. I guess if there wasn’t a better option listed it makes sense, but it’s like saying you want a shopping mall when what you actually want is a public bathroom — you don’t need one to have the other.

Assuming you have the space etc, sure. It’s not like a convenience store is just a gas station that didn’t think of selling gas yet.

Weird. When I lived in the states, there were plenty of convenience stores that weren’t attached to gas stations, and the people I knew talked about getting things “from the convenience store” even when they were getting it from the gas station, but I guess that could be a state thing or a regional thing, or even just a city-by-city thing. I take your point about the lawn mowers etc potentially needing gas though.

Why do you need a gas station in walking distance?

I’m sure you’re right and it wouldn’t be an issue, but I’m anal about reducing redundancy and complication wherever I can. If I can have one place to charge everything and don’t have to check what belongs to what, I’ll do it.

I don’t have many tools (or any children) but if I’m buying a bunch of battery operated stuff, you can be sure it’s all going to be able to use the same batteries and chargers.

Good to know. I’m sure I’ll forget by the next time I need to do this, but nice to know it’s an option.

I still don’t get what the compelling use for these is supposed to be. There’s nothing they’ve shown so far that doesn’t seem more awkward and intrusive than it is beneficial, unless maybe if you exist in true isolation at work and at home.

MacOS — making me go into system settings to allow an app to install that I’ve initiated. I know where the app comes from, I just downloaded it, why do I have to tell my own computer I trust myself to not be an idiot?

iPadOS — multitasking. I know that things are better than they used to be but it’s still a clunky experience to use multiple windows or flip back and forth between them unless you use a keyboard (at which point why wouldn’t I just use a laptop?)

iOS — not a lot these days. I’d still like to be able to customise my Home Screen layouts more, and shortcuts are still pretty unreliable, but I’m largely happy with iOS itself.

watchOS — better customisation for the widgets section. Let me have multiple complication/shortcut blocks, let me organise widgets more easily, etc. More watch faces would be nice too. A lot of the ones that are available are pretty ugly.

Withdrawsaw should obviously have been Goland and I won’t be taking any feedback.

I’m not saying this is my personally held opinion, I’m just explaining why it’s not incorrect that literally is in quotation marks.

I’m assuming it’s because the people who rescued them are the ones who literally saved their lives, not the watch. You could argue that without the watch, the people wouldn’t known where to go to rescue them, but the watch didn’t actually save anyone, it just allowed them to be saved.

Also, the “literally” is actually a quote from the person speaking about the ordeal. Nothing’s misused here.

On the off chance that this isn’t just a troll post, what were you hoping to do that you couldn’t figure out? Macs are incredibly flexible and capable computers that do waaaay more than iOS devices are capable of. The OS and hardware obviously still have their limits, but if you’re running into actual limitations then you’ve likely already far exceeded what your phone can do.

My guess would be that once we start hitting walls with USB C, there’ll likely be a consortium or group of companies that come together to propose a new standard and propose/lobby for govts to add update the existing laws with that as another option of connector.

More difficult for companies than just throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks, but overall less of a shitty experience for consumers.

Ah, gotcha. I don’t think it would be that hard to change to new connectors. Now that laws are coming in, they can simply update those laws when it’s time for a new standard. USB C still has many years of headroom left, and the benefits of standardising connectors vastly outweigh the problems (at least in my opinion).

Sure, and I’m going to guess they probably did that here. I doubt this is going to cause that much frustration, it’s still a big red button that’s easy to see.

Huh?
