This is from a country whose largest export to the world is disinformation… obviously fake.

Please don’t say “European law markers”, when “EU bureaucrats” is far more accurate.
Switzerland 🇨🇭, Norway 🇳🇴, and very soon Great Britain 🇬🇧, are in Europe the continent, but not the EU trade bloc. 🇪🇺

BTW to my American friends, this is just another example of why GB 🇬🇧 decided to leave, the obsession by EU bureaucrats to regulate everything and anything.

“Fatal Apple supplier factory fire in Shanghai kills eight”...
that’s really garbled English, how is the apple fatal, is it poisonous? Is so heavy if it falls on your head it will kill you?

Reading the story;
”Fatal fire at an Apple supplier’s factory in Shanghai kills eight”
would be a more accurate headline.

How to stay safe? Simple, don’t install Microsoft products on your Mac, ever!

Wasn't the entire purpose of Universal Serial Bus to be easy.  What seriously happened.  And agree - USB-A ain't going anywhere - and it's fast.  I don't no why they wouldn't just hop to HDMI and end this.  HDMI is universal and you can't get faster.  Name me a cable.

It’s up to 4 times SLOWER than USB-C…

USB-A is only fast compared to USB-2 speeds.

HDMI is crippled with DRM, DisplayPort is superior.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer company

Disinformation, hydrocarbons, and death.

Reagan was right about there being an evil empire. But the evil wasn’t due to the communism, it was due to the sadistic authoritarianism inherited from the czars. 

The story on YT is most likely fake.

But you guys better seek help from psychiatrist if you react to anything with a word Russia or Russian like that.

No I don’t need to see a psychiatrist, nor do any of my Russian friends who agree with me on this. Maybe you should stop watching RT…

I remember using the service in the early days, having to dial a number (2580 I think) on my feature phone and let it listen to the playing song. It would then hang up and text the song details to me.
It was a huge aid as I would eventually get into djing and all those Shazam’s had helped build up my record library. Although an Apple fan, I must admit I was a little concerned when Apple bought the small London based start-up that created it, but thankfully it’s gone on to greater success.

I'm looking to buy a dock for so many years but I can't find anything that fits me... it's probably me.

I don't need USB-A... And all these docks come loads of USB-A and next to no USB-C ports... Also doesn't say here, but does this work with multiple monitors on M2 Mac?

Anyway, lack of USB-C means I'm out :-(

Have to agree, I’m done with legacy USB-A ports, I need USB-C ports for SSDs etc, etc.
If they update it then would definitely be interested.

I did not write anything about the state. This article is about tech and bloggers from Russia, yet you bring your hatred toward the state into the comments. It’s not fair to judge all people based on your feelings about the government. 

And for the record, I’ve never watched RT or had any Russian channels by any means. Well-brought-up people keep the focus on the topic and not let themselves badmouth others.

No you made huge assumptions that myself and others were xenophobic towards Russians, simply for pointing out the issues in Russia that extend far beyond the state. Ask any Russian who has escaped to the West and they will tell you how Putin has twisted and distorted Russian culture to pursue his political aims. As a result he has produced a society where corruption, crime, dishonesty and racism are rampant. Hardly surprising given that Putin is a kleptocrat who has had link with Russian organised crime since his early days in St Petersburg after his mediocre KGB career.
But this did not all begin with Putin, Russia’s dysfunctional society can be back through Stalinism and Communism and even back to the days of the Tsar. Putin has simply amplified the worst of Russian society while destroying the best of its culture.
