A USB-C connector is the same physically as a Thunderbolt 3/4 connector. That does not mean you can always run Thunderbolt over the connector. This is the a problem with a universal connector that has wildly different capabilities. However in this context, I know of no mobile phone that has a Thunderbolt connector unlike what the OP and the people who replied have said.

ve never seen a software distribution mechanism as careless and sloppy as NPM. Bazillions of dependencies and no signing of packages. [ ... ]

Rust's cargo packaging system is almost exactly the same way. And the last time I looked, Go's packaging was very similar. And package signing won't help if the maintainer's key/cert has been exfiltrated and cracked.

This is what you get when you embrace DLL Hell -- the idea that you should pin your program to a single specific revision of a library, rather than, y'know, doing the engineering work to ensure that, as an app author, you're relying only on documented behavior; and, as a library author, to be responsible for creating backward compatibility for old apps linking to old entry points. Sticking to that principle lets you update shared system libraries with the latest enhancements and bug fixes, while remaining relatively sure none of the old clients will break.

"Sometimes you have to break backward compatibility." Agreed, but the interval between those breaks should be measured in years, not days.

It is a morons dream, The only way to get to that is to massively lower the standard of living across the american population. Too many people stuck in the past..

This should help drive jobs offshore and not just the H1B's as those that need to work with them and manage them may as well be in other countries too.

It actually is his surname. His grandfather was a Korean with the surname Son who emigrated to Japan during the Japanese colonial period. The family adopted the Japanese surname Yasumoto in an effort to avoid discrimination. Masayoshi Son reverted to using his Korean surname Son when he returned to Japan after studying in the USA.

This is the spec sheet for the Pixel 10. Please point where it says it has Thunderbolt.

This is the spec sheet for the Samsung Galaxy S25. Please point where it says it has Thunderbolt.

Please name one. There is a difference between a USB-C connection and a Thunderbolt connection.

How about the hardware does not support it? To use a Thunderbolt connection, the motherboard must have a Thunderbolt controller chip. I do not know of any phone that has one currently. Due to cost and space limitations, phone manufacturers do not include them. Laptops and desktops can have them.

LEDs are a lot more efficient, so you can get a lot more light with a lot less power consumption and heat. This lets you get a lot more light out of a smaller fixture before hear buildup becomes an issue, and you can afford more lamps for the same power budget. That means more light being produced. And yes, a lot of light pollution is reflected light.

smart move, don't hitch your wagon to a single model/vendor at this point as the field is rapidly evolving.

...and thanks for all the fish.

that works if you have the data to look at. The problem here is that the data is not available to be processed in many cases.

because cellular functions are firewalled in hardware and those risks do not exist

That isn't necessarily true. A lot of lower-end phones ran the cellular stack on the same CPU as the phone UI and lacked a full memory management unit. Qualcomm BREW phones still managed to have third-party apps with that kind of setup. It was true for the iPhone, though.

given some of the ancient tech many hospitals use you are probably not far off the mark.

Get a hub or adapters. Seriously this sounds like exactly the same garbage argument people were making for serial ports and parallel ports in the day. The reality is USB A is moribund and the sooner we put a bullet in it and bury it the better. We don't want manufacturers to live in the past simply to support luddites that simply can't give up their ancient tech.
