Just tippy-tappin’ my way across the internet.
Yeah, but you can have those without being attached to a gas station. I guess if there wasn’t a better option listed it makes sense, but it’s like saying you want a shopping mall when what you actually want is a public bathroom — you don’t need one to have the other.
Assuming you have the space etc, sure. It’s not like a convenience store is just a gas station that didn’t think of selling gas yet.
Weird. When I lived in the states, there were plenty of convenience stores that weren’t attached to gas stations, and the people I knew talked about getting things “from the convenience store” even when they were getting it from the gas station, but I guess that could be a state thing or a regional thing, or even just a city-by-city thing. I take your point about the lawn mowers etc potentially needing gas though.
Why do you need a gas station in walking distance?
On the off chance that this isn’t just a troll post, what were you hoping to do that you couldn’t figure out? Macs are incredibly flexible and capable computers that do waaaay more than iOS devices are capable of. The OS and hardware obviously still have their limits, but if you’re running into actual limitations then you’ve likely already far exceeded what your phone can do.
My guess would be that once we start hitting walls with USB C, there’ll likely be a consortium or group of companies that come together to propose a new standard and propose/lobby for govts to add update the existing laws with that as another option of connector.
More difficult for companies than just throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks, but overall less of a shitty experience for consumers.
Ah, gotcha. I don’t think it would be that hard to change to new connectors. Now that laws are coming in, they can simply update those laws when it’s time for a new standard. USB C still has many years of headroom left, and the benefits of standardising connectors vastly outweigh the problems (at least in my opinion).
Sure, and I’m going to guess they probably did that here. I doubt this is going to cause that much frustration, it’s still a big red button that’s easy to see.
Huh?
And so no buttons should ever be allowed to move? That would be insane.
How are running out of gas at home? I’ve never once in 30+ years run out of gas, and the only times I’ve even been close have been when I’m hours away from home.
This is a solution to a problem I’d bet almost no one has ever encountered.
