Comment Re:Wireless charging? (Score 4, Insightful) 314

It isn't about evil. It's about overreach. Did anyone in an EU nation imagine, when the EU was formed, that the EU would dictate to all its members what sort of chargers or adapters they could use for electrical devices?

The US has had standard plugs for electrical devices for decades. What was the last time you bought a microwave, or television, or toaster and it had a non-standard plug to go into the wall?

If the government can standardize the plugs on the wall side of the power cable, why shouldn't they standardize the plug on the device side of the cable? There may well be a good reason, so I'm asking sincerely.

Comment Re:Does this mean Apple products will cost more? (Score 4, Insightful) 260

Since "His main role was to negotiate with suppliers to keep the price Apple pays for computer parts down" and he's no longer there, does this mean Apple will pay more for parts and pass on those costs to the consumer?

It's funny that you think the price Apple pays for computer parts has anything to do with the price you pay for their products.

Comment "Wokeism" (Score 1) 20

My goodness. You know for sure that when you see some right-wing thought leader use the word "wokeism" you're in for a joy ride of reactionary hysteria, exaggeration, and flabby bad faith arguments. The review of the book by David M. Jones and M. L.R. Smith and the manifesto from (among others) Victor Orban fan and prissy whiner Rod Dreher, N.S. Lyons, and R.R. Reno do not disappoint in this regard.

And boy, those effete semi-fascists sure do love using lots of initials, don't they? One wonders what their baristas at Starbucks write on the cup of their soy lattes.

Comment Re:La Dolce Vitea... (Score 1) 227

But open a Dominos?

You can find better food at practically any street vendor's in Naples than anything you could find at any of the big American chain behemoths. I once had a calzone served to me wrapped in paper at a Naples market that still gives me night sweats to think about. The lady who served it to me looked like Al Molinaro from Happy Days, but she knew how to make a calzone.
