250kmph = 155 MPH

We’ve been raised in an individualist society.

Are those qi2 chargers or qi1? The magnets make a huge difference.

No I think Apple AI is perfect. Please never improve the notification summaries. In fact I want them to go back to the launch summaries, they’re not as good as they used to.

I didn’t feel like typing that part.

And they had little docks to charge them (and transmit) but they also make docks for your phone.

Bonus: the landline was already wired so just don’t unplug it ever and use it like before.

That’s not physically possible.

But it is extremely efficient for what it is. The first number I found on google said it’s 95% efficient.

If it’s completely misaligned yes. But there’s a wide spectrum between too far off to even turn on, and perfectly aligned.

This is what magsafe/qi 2 fixes by including magnets which should have been there from the start.

While good for privacy, this sounds like an awful UX change for the average person. Some sort of nice toggle to disable it would be good, but removing it all together would probably annoy more people than it benefits.

You’re still using itunes and not apple music?

Radiowaves are not free real estate. Every country has their own laws on what frequencies you’re allowed to use for what.

2.4ghz frequencies are basically as unregulated as they can get in the US, so that’s why wifi used that for the longest time. I’m not sure what devices used 5ghz before, but they took that frequency for wifi. You have to fight for every mhz you can get in radio waves.

Here’s the wiki article talking a bit about this. I’ve never heard of like 3.6ghz wifi so that’s interesting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi#Operational_principles%3A~%3Atext=some+cases+severely.-%2CWaveband%2C-[edit]

… they already have your emails. Not only that, but just about everything else they could possibly want to know about you.

Unless you plan on moving to a more private provider I wouldn’t worry about that.

Any time I want to watch my emails I just go to the web ui for it. I doubt any 3rd party client will ever come close to what google and Microsoft offer for their own email accounts.

They can, they’re called smart thermostats. They need to know the outside and inside temp and honestly the easiest way to do that is to just connect them to the internet. Plus they’re even better when they know it’s going to be cold all day vs cold for half the day, then the sun comes out and is really hot the second half.

Not necessarily. Tailscale uses their own servers in order to do the negotiation, but once the connections are opened on both ends you should be directly connected to each other. All without port forwarding or any config on your end.

ability that doesn’t require a ban, but to unsubscribe someone from the community,

remove a user from a community if they only have negative interaction with the community, like only down votes

Those don’t really make too much sense to me. The first one just ban them if you don’t want them participating in the community. You can do a temp ban and hope they chill out, and perm if they’re that bad. But unsubscribing them just seems weird.

Some automod like functionality could handle the second one, but the lack of overall karma is what I like most about lemmy vs reddit. Plus once again you could just manually ban them. IDK if lemmy ignores votes from banned users though so they could just continue downvoting everything if they’re petty.

Have you tried the Logitech Mx keys? They’re very similar to the Magic Keyboard. Not quite as small, but then you have less of the Mac keyboard on non Mac OS quirks.

We have people at work that INSIST they need an external keyboard instead of the built in one.

I could understand if the laptop was off to the side or something. But they’ll just scoot the laptop back 6 inches then place the Apple Magic Keyboard exactly where the laptop was.

Institutions could be the only time I’d be interested in following “a person”. But at the same time they could just make their own community that only they can post in.
