Haha, no worries. Turns out there is a Phillips insurance company, just with a double L, rather than a single L.

USB is typically 5v.

Pretty sure they never were an insurance company. They’ve always made (consumer) electronics.

25 km/h is a sporty bike ride tempo, not a going to the shops to get some food bike ride tempo. Especially considering that most bikes here are upright sitting city bikes rather than sporty, leaning forward bikes.

I actually like the twist ties. I save them up for when I need to redo my cables. Way nicer than snipping zipties when I need to add a cable to the bunch.

Because for 90% of the time, you couldn’t. It was only implemented in iOS 16 or 17 I believe.

What do you use then?

Problem with that is that you can very easily strip off the + and any bit after it to get your “normal” email address. Then again, when they find out mine is a catch-all, they can spam me as well… I guess you never win.

Same. Nowadays I just use a catch-all email address. Companyname@domain.tld. Allows me to name, shame, and block the company that leaks my email address.

Well, there was the DIN standard for radios back in the day….

Exactly. Blame the publisher, not the developer studio here. That’s the case for at least 99% of these kinds of fuckups.

As a Max, I do not endorse this. Also, yarr.

Interesting read, thanks for sharing!

I think the whole step to integrate with the fediverse would have taken too much time and too many resources. Seems like a massive rewrite of the codebase to me, if it wasn’t taken into account from the very start.
