Just make the usb-c connector a circule and not an oval. I am guessing that the only reasons it isn’t circular is thinness (devices are thin and need thin connectors) and manufacturing costs (probably harder to get it circular with all of the inner pins)

It kills me that no matter what, it is always white and gold for me, EVEN THOUGH REALITY SAYS OTHERWISE!
MTK@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why can computers, like even very old laptops can seemingly get OS updates forever, while mobile devices hardly get a few years of updates before getting stuck out of date?0·8 days agoLong story short, profit.
The not so short versio is that each manufacturer along the supply chain decides for how long they want to provide updates, the following manufacturer can’t provide updates that the previous manufacturer doesn’t. And so it goes until you get a phone that has 3 years of software updates and 5 years of security updates and that’s it.
For example, you might buy a phone from google, they buy electronic parts from maybe Qualcomm and a few others. Say Qualcomm decides that it won’t be profitable to provide driver updates to the SoC past 7 years and critical security updates past 10 years. At this point even if Googke really wanted to, they can’t provide anything past that as they would not be able to update the Qualcomm driver. But google has otger providers with maybe shorter support windows, abd they have their own costs and updates to make. So Google decideds that for them it won’t be profitable to provide support past 5 years and security updates past 7 years. So now you get a phone which will be unsupported after 7 years, and here comes the big difference between phones and most computers. Phones have a locked bootloader and usually a custom SoC. Locjed Bootloader means that you can’t just install another OS that might still provide some support, and the custom SoC means that any driver support will have to be only for this specific device.
So with an old laptop you might have a custom motherboard, but the cpu, gpu, ram, wifi, sound, etc will all be off the shelf, so if some linux developer makes some sort of driver support for your wifi card, it will also apply to all other laptops with that wifi card, but for a phone this won’t work, let alone even be viable since the bootloader is locked.
Simply put, no right to own and profit chasing means that no one really cares if your phone is a security and usability nightmare after a few years.

Put an nfc tag there, you can insert it behind the leather. Write the same key on it and that way you could tip your hat onto someonea phone for a quick transfer for later communications.
With the way you stitched it, you could easily push one of the flat flexible ones there without having to mess with the stitches
Epoch, takes a bit of practice but I already read it fluently and often make fun of everyone arpund me for not knowing how to read a clock (my clock)

Production is a form of QA old man!
Your statement is even more true about closed source. As someone who worked in multiple companies, I can tell you that 99% of the code is written, PRed, QAed, and then ignored forever.

MTK@lemmy.worldto A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•A postal worker in Harlem attacked a trans woman. She fought back and fatally stabbed him in self-defense.

This is how the NY Post framed it.0·23 days agoYou know something is up when they state that they are transgender when it bears no meaning to the actual article. This would be the same as “Gay man murdered people” the point is bigotry.
