Ok, I get what you mean. My counterpoints would be that nb in writing wouldn't "flow" differently because typing isn't the same as speaking. Out of context, a lot of insider terms get lost.

But you do you.

You're very correct. A core belief at apple is that the customer is too stupid to know what they want, so you can whatever you want down their throat.

There is some merit to the idea that true innovation won't be anticipated by customers so you have to take risks. But the way apple does it pisses me off to no end.

No apple, removing every port (except shitty ass lightning ports of course) is not a good idea. It just isn't.

Welcome to 2014 my friend

Why would anyone write "enby" when nb is shorter and whose meaning can much more easily be guessed at by people like me wondering what it means...?

Well yeah and we should and some people do. We can (actually have a duty to) recognize a multitude of problems in the world.

Some models are exploited victims of sex trafficking. I have a feeling it's usually hard to tell if that's the case. I think that it's not that common, percentage-wise but it's gotta be nonzero. Very uncomfortable to think about but it's there...

Absolutely. Verizon doing this to my Samsung Galaxy S5 is what made me realize I'd never ever buy a locked phone or a phone from a carrier again. In addition, Verizon is especially evil for a host of reasons

I appreciate all you have written here but I have to differ with you about buying a pixel second hand. The transaction is over, someone else will buy the phone or it will go into a landfill. The latter is an awful outcome and I think we all should oppose that. If someone else buys it, Google still gets none of that cash. True, you could argue it's "promoting" Google. But we all make sacrifices. For many, the budgetary constraint is a big one.

The prime example of a SO user is being intentionally obtuse, demanding more detail even if the typical programmer would have a pretty clear picture of what is being asked. So yeah, projection much?

He is an alt-right douche and it escapes me how him constantly being purposely antagonistic for fun lends to being "likeable". The abhorrent political views would be enough, but there's a lot more.

BoTh SiDeS again. Cheers
