counterplex

I don't get it either. The notch essentially covers up the middle of the menu bar and is a non-issue when full-screening. Apple essentially encroached the screen into the camera's territory and used the extra few pixels for the menu bar with the notch covering the middle of the menu bar which is typically empty and wasted space.

There's zero impact on full screen apps and non-fullscreen apps get to claim the space formerly used by the menu bar.

Having used a Qi charger for my existing phones and a MagSafe charger for my Apple Watch, I can say that I prefer the non-MagSafe Qi charger for my phone. It's the one that most gives the illusion of truly wireless charging.

With MagSafe charging now I imagine I'll have to lift my phone and presumably detach the MagSafe puck at the same time, making it more cumbersome than what I do now, which is just lifting the phone off the Qi charger. I verified this hypothesis here: https://youtu.be/XDKPNwC-5D4?t=185

While there will likely be sticky/weighted versions of the MagSafe charging puck to alleviate this issue at some point, this is not a better experience as designed.

I'll likely continue to use a generic Qi charger for my phone

My Turbo Pascal story is weirder than most I think. When I was much younger, someone I knew was learning COBOL and the "editor" they were told to use was a pirated binary on a floppy. That binary was called tp3 and nobody paid any attention to it until I, wanting to also learn a bit about COBOL, decided to try it out myself and read the notice that the program output. Something about Pascal.

Long story short, I ended up looking into Pascal and using that tp3 "editor" to learn a bit of Pascal, which seemed a lot more fun than COBOL.

All Pre tells me is that everyone else is going through more "security" than even the TSA deems necessary for absolutely no reason. I refuse to enroll in it mainly because of that.

I'd imagine by your 50s you'd have already learned the right attitude to succeed at anything: do the best you can, ask for help often and speak up right away when scope explodes!

This makes things easier, not more difficult.

That's close. It's meant to be more like dysfunctional queue.

From the README:

DIStributed QUEue but is also a joke with "dis" as negation (like in disorder) of the strict concept of queue, since Disque is not able to guarantee the strict ordering you expect from something called queue. And because of this tradeof it gains many other interesting things.

The politest put down ever?

COFFIES then. IE remains an offender.

The CarPlay name, which is similar to AirPlay, seems to hint at that too.
