  • To be fair, USB-C didn’t exist when Lightning was introduced, and it was vastly superior to Micro-USB.

    It doesn’t really have any reason to exist now…

    Agreed with your other points though!

    I have an old iPad that I try to reuse for another purpose and all the locks to stop me to keep using it make it such a pain in the butt, when the alternative is simply to enable developer mode on an Android tablet.

    Thankfully I remembered when buying a laptop and skipped the very enticing M-series hardware, because in 5-7 years that thing is a brick destined for the landfill.



  • I used to limit myself to the card that didn’t have any annual fees. Practically all my purchases are made with a credit card (all paid back in full by the end of the month), so it turns out to be really worth it to take the card with the most advantages and highest cashback rates. They pay me back the yearly cost of the card many many times over.

    The catch is, if the amount of transactions starts to drop below a certain threshold, it might not be worth it anymore.

    Note that I am in Canada, not the US. Not sure if that makes any difference here.
