he's right though, think about porn. while it's not "consumed" in the sense that it's gone, everything it offers, it's essence, the reason why you would watch it, is gone

I mean not exclusively there are
some tv shows worth rewatching and some porn clips are just so perfectly debaucherous

Consumed means it's gone. Period. You can't use it again, no one else can use it again, it's gone. It's consumed.

You can put that porn in a porn library for other porn fans and everyone could enjoy that porn too. It isn't consumed.

Do you know why they started calling Tuberculosis "the consumption?" Because it eats your body and leaves very little behind.

In the long run, will dongle be good or bad for the world? Good

We have to look at what those user casualties are- just because they're likely doesn't make them innocent! Lets take a look at a few possibilities:

1) A civilian walking down the street to market gets killed by a truck while fiddling for dongle.

2) A civilian asleep in their house is killed when their house catches fire due to a fake dongle.

OK, these two are regrettable innocents being killed- but since Apple doesn't make a habit of targetting poors who walk or buy fake accessories, they're very small in number!

3) An Android user working at a hackerspace gets electrocuted when he plugs a dongle into an electrical outlet.

4) A Chinese preparing a shipment of fake dongles sold on Aliexpress is killed when the shipment explodes.

5) A non-certified tech repairing an iPhone 7 Pro Plus is killed when a dongle shorts.

6) A YouTuber bleeds to death from a paper cut while unboxing dongle.

7) A techbro chokes to death on a dongle that fell into his Soylent without him noticing.

etc, etc. The list goes on. My point is that there are a lot of dipshit poors and idiots supporting non-Apple approved solutions that aren't exactly "innocent" and whose death would rightly please Apple. I'm an Apple user who jailbroke his iPhone and work for a ridesharing but for goldfishes startup, but I acknowledge I'm also a tremendous idiot hellfucker because of what I do. And I think the vast majority of user casualties will not be innocent.

the iphone 6 touch bugs are all caused by the phone bending (with normal use) and disordering the touch chips.

nah see it's just a coincidence that harambe is the latest popular Meme at the same time that a minor black celebrity is being harassed by the internet, so if anybody calls it racist, that's just adding to the Lulz that these memesters are enjoying.

Apple doesn't support the chosen format of uncompressed audio, FLAC.

Is there any difference between Apple Lossless and FLAC in terms of quality or is it just nerd audiophile poo poo?

i meant uncompressed audio over bluetooth.

the reason bluetooth audio has sucked historically is that they used lossy compression to squeeze it into 100 kbps of bandwidth or whatever trickle it was in bluetooth 1.x/2.x
