    I completely misunderstood your post, because I have the opposite problem, I've never broken a charge port but I've broken several cables.

    Exactly. That said, it's nice to get a notification when it's done.

    Try the relatively recent Anker Prime cables, the ones that are both braided and soft. I haven't managed to break one yet, despite breaking several past Anker cables that also clai…

    I'm still driven absolutely mad by how many devices are being released in 2026 that refuse to charge if they're connected to a port that negotiates USB Power Delivery. They don't f…

    Been using this knot exclusively since 2013, it's stood the test of time.

    One thing I miss from when I mained workstation-class Linux laptops is indeed just how tinkerable they were, in a way that didn't feel like a compromise because no other workstatio…

    It's even weirder than that sometimes. For example, Subnautica on Steam has a hard dependency on Steam (whether or not you would call this DRM), but the exact same version number o…

    Workers seizing the means of production is out, workers seizing the product is in.

    I think a big difference is that the less unsafe you want in your own code, the more you rely on crates to provide a safe abstraction for unsafe code in a centralized place where s…

    I was also worried about the plastic tongue, but I have never managed to break one. In contrast, I have managed to irreperably damage the exposed metal contacts on multiple Lightni…

    To be fair, even state of the art of high-speed data cables are thick and relatively inflexible. I simply wouldn't want every cable to be a high-speed cable if that meant they were…

    Async ruined Rust for me, even though I write exactly the kind of highly concurrent servers to which it's supposed to be perfectly suited. It degrades API surfaces to the worst cas…

    Like I said, if you prefer an integrated graphical UI, you can file feature requests against the one you prefer. What git itself does makes a lot of sense for the canonical CLI too…

    If that's the kind of UX you prefer, please consider filing a feature request against your git UI of choice. My point is that git itself already has the core capability, and how co…

    I only agree if you have a bounded dataset size that you know will never grow. If it can grow in future (and if you're not sure, you should assume it can), not only will many data …

    Yeah, I make it a habit to read the changelogs of every update to every direct dependency. I was anticipating this change for years, thanks for doing it!
