it would also cost a fortune.

That's the point. Follow the money.

TLDR:

Trailing commas for lists allows easier:

  • merging of code
  • rearranging of items in the list.

You okay, mate? It's not that serious.

Me: Here's my reasoning along with supporting evidence.

You: You're still assuming from nothing.

let the investigation finish before making assumptions

From reading the article, we can infer that the SUV must have been booking it for the cyclist to sustain multiple serious injuries.

This article from 2011 claims that in the case of bike fatalities from bike-motor accidents, it is slightly more likely that it was the motorist at fault.

So I'm going with the driver at fault, it's more statistically likely.

Here is the section of road that the article points out:

If he was on the bicycle path then the SUV driver must have been particularly negligible.

To be fair, USB-C didn’t exist when Lightning was introduced

Hmm, I wonder why that was?

Lightning is a proprietary computer bus and power connector, created and designed by Apple Inc. It was introduced on September 12, 2012

Design for the USB-C connector was initially developed in 2012 by Apple Inc. and Intel.

So Apple helped develop USB-C but failed to integrate it into their products for a decade. Now, why would they do that?

if a firm achieves monopoly through predatory or exclusionary acts, then it leads to anti-trust concern

Hey, ChatGPT ...?

Closed Ecosystem: Apple is known for its closed ecosystem, which can limit users' choices. For instance, iOS users can only download apps from the App Store, and Apple tightly controls the app approval process.

Proprietary Connectors: Apple often uses proprietary connectors and cables, such as the Lightning port, which can be inconvenient for users who want more universal standards like USB-C.

Repairability Issues: Apple products are often criticized for being difficult to repair. For example, the company discourages third-party repairs and designs its products with components that are challenging to replace.

They make it too easy.

Apple normally isn’t this blatantly shitty.

(¬_¬ ) Dude, you been living under a rock?

It was partly about finding an easy reason to let people go / coerce people to leave.
