I have had a few failures and I can only assume it's the second one? I have one on a thinkpad that only works if you hold it in the right position

I get trouble with the female ports too

I have had a failed port on my laptop - fortunately the laptop can charge on two of its ports but it sucks to have lost one.

I have had a failed port on an iPad, and on my phone. Again I was fortunate to have a fairphone, so I just replaced the port.

There's one in the UK too, Cinema Paradiso. The prices are also quite high.

Also, the turnaround times were really slow. Slow mail perhaps, but at the same time it's kind of in their interests to not turn things around so fast.

In the UK, letters get a lower priority than packages which doesn't help.

Yeah that just tripped me up trying to recomission a 2012 Macbook Pro.

Couldn't connect to wifi except through a password-less hotspot. Then I couldnt get online because nothing with SSL was working.

I didnt have a pen drive so I had to FTP off another machine, via my phone hotspot. We got there though!

Yes it's a common misconception that you can only make wide crumbed hipster crusty loaves. Those are great but if you want plain white bread, buns, croissants, etc etc it's all possible to do.

Electric car battery degradation has been super interesting, in that they are going way further than people thought they might. Jonny Smith on youtube bought a 300k+ mile Tesla and the battery is at like 75% health.

As far as I can tell if your battery isn't air cooled, it can go a very long way

All our desk phones at work are poe and they have pass through ports to allow connecting a PC to the LAN. Really neat to just have one cable that gives you a powered phone, and Ethernet access.

What switch do you use? I have PoE wifi APs throughout the house, but I bought an Aruba switch and it's super noisy tbh. Fine for me because it's in the basement, but I couldn't recommend it

Yes same here but with i3, I ran it for over 10 years but niri was just an instant 'aha' moment for me.

I will say, recent builds have a 'mini map' sort of zoom-out feature that I quite like - my one critique of niri was that I would sometimes get 'lost'.

Yeah this is my strategy. The top/bottom post brigade are both happy and email clients seem to handle it well.

It's kind of alarming to me that the default in say gmail is to constantly re-send the original message chain back and forth. I guess it then gives the whole chain to newcomers to the thread?
