Comment Re: Adapter (Score 1) 241

I have a mouse that can connect to three devices and switch between them at the push of a button on it's underside and for the next three devices bought another mouse. because if I use that many devices, I'm sure not all of them have a usb port for a dongle I wouldn't want to plug around anyway....

Comment Nothing against one single A-port for legacy use (Score 1) 241

but this year has been a turning point for my usb-c usage. Took some usb-a cables (but no power adapter) on a vacation with me and realized that most ports have transitioned to usb-c. Until then, I've had anything in USB-A and had to get an adapter for C, but I find myself in more and more situations where it's the other way round. Imho the tipping point is reached and now it's accelerating. Just had to get a few usb-c to micro-usb, mini-usb and usb-b cables and will keep a few adaptors/hubs, but I've more or less gone all-in in on usb-c - can't get rid of usb-a soon enough.

Comment "...a crisis nobody anticipated" (Score 1) 173

Seems like a stupid clickbait-headline to me. Everybody knows that batteries lose capacity in the cold, especially prospective buyers of EVs know this (it's a major argument among EV-critics). What's the next "crisis"? "The world's EV-Owners discover they need to charge their EVs?"

Comment Young people drink less alcohol (Score 2) 155

but take more chemical drugs instead (kinda understandable, hardly anything is as bad as an alkohol intoxination). Bars aren't allowed to sell chemical drugs, but users drink a lot of water -> make water premium. Obviously, in this case, it's mostly about greedy restaurant owners selling overpriced stuff to people who are so stupid that they buy stuff just because it's overpriced. Imho, if you pay $25 for a bottle of water that has been flown in from Portugal, you should be instantly disposessed. But while there's no cure for stupid, imho this is just one facet of a greater trend.

Comment Re:Thunderbolts? (Score 1) 70

Agreed, it was stupid, formulaic, predictable, shallow, and mostly mediocre at best. I watched it in the cinema and can't even remember a single thing about it, asides from David Harbour and Sebastian Stan being in it. The problem is not "Too many movies", or "Feels like doing homework" (although that contributes at this level of quality) - it's too much mediocre shovelware.
