Best calculator for engineers. I have used it on my Mac and iPhones for decades, My favorite features are its large library of constants, doing unit conversions, hex calculations,  ability to move buttons to my need, and RPN support.

How about suing the state of Texas for not placing laws against distracted driving, the car company for not placing anti-collision technology in the car to prevent stupid people from slamming into the back of another car, the family of the driver for not teaching the dangers of distracted driving to their kids, and all cell phone companies for not turning off all calling and texting features when the phones are traveling at high speeds. All this has been known, explained, and developed for over 20 years, but let's try a ridiculous lawsuit and blame stupidity on someone else.

We use several ports for engineering work. USB is highly used to connect to oscilloscopes, meters, JTAG emulators, etc. Many of these systems could use USBC with a hub, but sometimes visiting a customer, it is a pain to carry all these dongles, just to debug a system.

Audio port is constantly used, particularly the digital TOSlink for connecting to high end speakers and receivers. Regular headphone jack is used to test audio. We have tried bluetooth, but when you are in a lab with equipment that generates interference, bluetooth disconnects. What is worse, the battery dies and now you no longer have a headphones. This is particularly bad in very long airplane trips. Do not want to run out of battery on a 12 hour flight since that is what is keeping the noise down. I still need a headphone jack to connect to the plane audio, if I want to see their movies. 

We also use the headphone jack to create noise sources and particular audio patterns to test our equipment. Cannot really do that with bluetooth.

Apple Pay worked today on a Chick-Fil-A store. 

Their salads and chicken are the best from the fast food industry. They also train their employees to be very respectful and professional. The company is highly community involved. For example, after the orlando massacre, the employees went to work on a Sunday and to make and donate food to people waiting in line to donating blood.
