I had a boss who called that connector the "Samsung plug" when I had an external HDD and was trying to find a cable for it. I had an S5 for years, so I knew exactly what he was talking about, not that it quelled my shock given he was the team lead of IT support.
Needless to say he was (and still probably is) a huge Samsung guy
Obviously that would be a total compromise. However this all depends on your threat model and how you usually use your laptop, and if someone were to steal it, would they also mug you for your flashdrive?
In my case, I just type the passphrase I have into the laptop, although my homelab server uses a USB so that it can unattended reboot, and I can put the USB in a secure location if it doesn't need to reboot unattended.
Otherwise, in my case I usually go out with a laptop that if stolen, is only worth about $150 AUD so not a big financial hit. While I have LUKS as a passphrase, I'm not likely to be a target of any individual or entity that, if they really wanted my data, would also mug me for a USB key, so I could live with either.
Once upon a time, it was called changing boards on a forum.
I guess from a consumer perspective, it can be more convenient (e.g. wireless charging in a car)
For me, I see it as a way to reduce wear on a charging port, or as an alternative if the port does fail.
I like it for the latter as I don't like my devices to be inefficient but it makes me feel better that should the USB-C fail on my phone, it's not game over for my phone.
Broken BIOS on a PC. You can basically throw out your motherboard
Can confirm, bricked a Latitude E6420 trying to put coreboot on it and completely missing an instruction in bright red bold text. Had a parts machine thankfully, and had to swap the boards.

Huh, that makes two of us. Hated every second of dealing with OneUI, back when I got it, GSIs were around but there was no straight forward guide. Now one does exist and oh boy, it feels like a completely different device with LOS and no gapps.
This announcement is for Brave hosting their own repository to host the Brave browser on that's compatible with F-Droid, rather than the Brave browser being added to F-Droid's official repository.
Otherwise, perhaps you meant that you did add their repo and it's still not showing up.
Both are accepted spellings, tire in the US and tyre in the UK
The fuck? First person I've met that objects to this. Even the sushi places usually throw in soy sauce for your spring rolls
Damn, I over thought it. I got "Imaginary cube sum of apple pi" before seeing the answers here.
Text description (for those with screenreaders):
A portion of a prime number checker written in the Rust programming language, where the first few lines are written correctly including the first if statement in the program. However, the following if statements are written using Python syntax instead of Rust, as the author slipped back into his native tongue.
I think my initial shock was that he's my supervisor and couldn't even identify that it was a standard outside of the Galaxy S5, so it brings any IT knowledge of his into question.
That being said, he was pretty open about us technicians knowing more about the nitty gritty computing than he did, so his lack of IT knowledge wasn't a major issue as he was a decent team leader, which I found more important to his position.
