This feature debuted on the Moto Atrix in 2011. There was even a version of Ubuntu that could use the feature.

I know Robert was a like a Luddite but that part really always bugged me, and know that writer has a fetish of sorts for killing off their characters. But, seriously, they couldn’t come up with a more plausibly 24th century way to die in a household accident?

IDK, when I was finishing my CS degree there were some people in my class that didn’t know the difference between Mac and Windows. The ‘weldingification’ of development means that for over a decade now people who write or research code may not know anything about computers.

I think 10 is missing an order of magnitude.

My wife and I went out recently and a nearby table had no less than three children each with their own tablets all on full volume while the 5 or so adults completely ignored this.

The USB standard was made by Intel and the USB-C port is based on a port designed by Apple…

My laptop takes 300w to charge. We aren’t quite there yet with USB-C. It will trickle charge off USB-C though.

Edit: It’s a 16in Lenovo Legion from 2023.

I was honestly surprised when we got the Series. I was pretty convinced that they were done with consoles after the One X|S and that Xbox would become more of a Steam competitor as a brand. It wouldn’t surprise me if the Series ended up being the last console.
