they make barrel power connectors that rotate as well which is cool, but no data.

good point re: USB-C on the iphone. i can't imagine a world where apple implements half-baked hardware in a way where it could easily fail and require hundreds of dollars' worth of repairs.

DisplayPort is powered on both host and device side, proper cables don't connect those pins. Lots of Chinese factories didn't read the spec.

i went around to a dozen lovely mall kiosks and Daiso/Muji-esque places and folks seem have no idea USB-C is USB, and you don't need dongles. nobody sells cables for USB-C to Micro-USB/Micro-USB-SS/Mini-USB/USB-A/USB-B, etc. but they have dongles for each! ordered the cables online for $20 all included and now USB-A is history to me

yes, producing custom chips in collaboration with massive chip makers can be extremely cool but also so expensive it makes you want to cry but I think they've got it mostly sorted out now and PC's, console and servers are using the same hardware. the investment in the development is spread out across these sectors which makes the margins effectively higher.

quote:Complicating this, however, is the issue that many Windows applications do all manner of weird and occasionally wonderful things with their title bars. With a simple application like Notepad, which does nothing at all non-standard, it's straightforward for the operating system to take the window's titlebar and add tabs to it. That's because the operating system is entirely responsible for drawing the titlebar in the first place. when you let third parties run amok with the ui you should expect problems uniting the ui in this case "third parties" means "parts of microsoft"
