The Huawei phone likely has usb c as well. Just use a cable…
- Comment on Silicon Valley has forgotten what normal people want 3 months ago:
Same with new tech. Why do people buy new stuff every one or two years? Because fomo. You can not tell anyone that device that was good enough for you last year is now not fulfilling your needs anymore.
- Comment on Microsoft has a new idea on how to deter students from MacBook Neo - 9to5Mac 3 months ago:
Regarding the second point… the offer from Microsoft is good for 12 months. The Apple software does not expire. Sure, the support will end in about 7 years, but that’s a completely different story
- Comment on The World Is Basically Begging for Another iPod 3 months ago:
DRM audio files? Where? All songs that I have purchased in the past from iTunes didn’t have any drm. They where simple m4a (mp4 audio) files…

- Comment on The US government just banned consumer routers made outside the US 4 months ago:
What kind of oversight are you talking about? Locally produced items do not need to fulfill more regulations.
If this was about cyber security there would be a mandatory certification (like there is for emc, like the FCC). But blanket statements like „foreign company bad!“ don’t do anything for increasing cyber security
- Comment on Asked LA Fitness to cancel my membership, they offered to freeze it for $10/month instead 4 months ago:
Interesting. It is illegal where I am as well. Yet nobody gives a fuck and gyms still pull that crap.

Why does the country even matter?

You guys can get a new computer in 5 days?? At our company that takes at least 5 weeks and that only if it has been escalated.

- Comment on The cops pay Anon a visit 5 months ago:
At least in Germany, I would be surprised if the cops could point to the RAM inside a computer. They will not open it before they take it with them.

How will they carry the running pc if it’s not a laptop?
- Comment on LG's new subscription program charges up to £277 per month to rent a TV 5 months ago:
If you want to watch football (or soccer) this season with friends, and will usually not watch much else, why not.
Plenty people rent most things. There is a whole market to rent electronics, even furniture.
- Comment on The RAM shortage’s silver lining: Less talk about “AI PCs” 6 months ago:
The price hikes are easily explained… companies get massive amounts of money from investors, they spend that money buying GPUs and RAM so they can promise AI. Prices for memory goes up on its own, it is just a „nice“ side effect.

The joke is about the Lemmy instance.
