Add even greater capability and versatility to your iPad Pro by powering the Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter with a USB Power Adapter. Then you can connect USB peripherals like hubs, Ethernet adapters, audio/MIDI interfaces, and card readers for CompactFlash, SD, microSD, and more.

fyi the ipad's always had weird adapters and i don't know what rock you've been living under

in fact it wouldn't be apple without various adapters due to lack of ports

only 19.1 million xbox ones sold, according to EA

compared to PS4's 36 million

for the record, vgchartz would have been pretty close, actually over-estimating a few million

it might get baked into chips since the work started years ago, but the patent holders are doing a good job of making sure nobody actually wants to use it.

it seems like every company except for apple is getting behind the av1 codec since by now they probably all want to tell the mpeg-la patent trolls to gently caress off.

the new inconvenient metro interfaces make win 10 a slight downgrade from win 7, but the thing about having internet ads and other poo poo on desktop searches, having one drive trying to connect and failing twice robbing me of my precious focus and blocking the windows I want to click on give it a bit of a win-95-with-malware feel.

if you do anything with the taskbar besides stick it on the left/right edge of the screen (use small icons, add text labels, show all icons in notification area, or anything else that turns it back into windows 95) we can't be friends
