I wouldn’t have noticed this if people hadn’t started pointing it out. I’ve seen worse examples out there than mine. I suppose I’m lucky.

The iPhones 15 can accept USB-C Power Delivery at up to 20 W, but they can only output standard USB power at 4.5 W.

That will power most any accessory and charge your AirPods, and it’s a huge improvement over Lightning’s 300 mW output.

I use Linux and my iPhone shows up in GNOME’s file explorer. I’m able to drag and drop files into apps. (They appear like directories.)

I can’t tell you what needs to be installed, since it worked out of the box on Ubuntu, but check your package manager for “iOS” or “iPhone”.

Thank you for the explanation! Makes sense given the SoC design.

Indeed. I guess they saved a few cents by not including the USB 3 controller on that model.

Plex server. Can it decode HEVC in real-time? I don’t know. But if so, congrats, this obsolete computer just got another decade off the scrap heap.

I can’t log into my instance. It gets as far asking for my MFA code, but it’s never correct. (Yes, the code works on other apps/devices.)

EDIT: Actually, I can’t log into Mlem either. It might be my instance. False alarm.

Same here. It won’t accept my MFA code no matter what.

They killed off the motion coprocessors, I believe. Now it’s just a part of the A-series, gone the way of the 80387.

They also dragged their feet switching from PPC to Intel. Something tells me Adobe isn’t using Xcode, where you just flip a switch.

Got it. Thank you!

I know, right? I love mine. The CEO of GM loves hers. Supposedly the data-harvesting Equinox EV will replace it sometime in the next few years, despite it not being a 1:1 replacement.

Does this regulation require user-replaceable batteries, or just batteries users can replace with light tools? Are we talking a return to BlackBerry, or will iPhones without glue suffice? Can Tesla continue to sell cars in Europe, or will it have to be built like the Chevy Bolt with ten bolts and a few coolant lines separating skilled users from a thousand pounds of lithium-ion cells?

Lightning is great, but I’d love to standardize my go-bag. USB-C won’t make me upgrade my cracked iPhone 11, but it’ll be a nice perk once I get there.

The future is coming soon.

I don’t know, the article summed it up perfectly. Of course, I do it anyway. If someone steals and decrypts my laptop, and decrypts my password vault, they’ve earned the contents of my bank account.

I don’t know, I had some good tweets back on SpaceKaren.social.
