Good point

I completely agree. It was terrible how bad all the connectors were (including that fucking 30 pin, my god I hated that fucking thing) before lightning. This includes micro and mini USB.

Good point. There are ways around it, but only tech savvy people are going to do those, so probably best to just use zip.

How the heck are you getting gunk in your USB C ports? 🤨

I’m not, but other commenters in this thread are. And with the internal pin in the female connector you have a much higher risk of damage, also the connector is larger. Also have you never had lint get into a phone connector in your pocket? That was a huge issue for years with my Android phones. I had it fuck up my Dell streak port all the time.

I have an iPhone and have never had anything get stuck in the port, unlike all the Android stuff I’ve owned. But like I said, other commenters in here are complaining about things getting stuck in their USB C ports.

Indeed, it was probably fine ten years ago. But, as Mac Address (among many others) rightly pointed out, transferring gigabytes of HD video over a shoddy USB 2.0 line is a less-than-ideal experience.

Huh? Why in the world would you be doing that? And shoddy? Haha dude, usb 2 ran the world fine fora decade and continues to work fine today. Lightning supports up to USB 3 anyway, but USB C came out and they didn’t bother expanding their cable selection.

How?

No need to worry about whether the cable you’re using supports PD, bidirectionality, hdmi, etc. All lightning cables are the same. Power and data. I literally have a device to plug usb c cables into to verify what they support. Even Android news sites agree it’s a mess.

I’ve soldered up USB C cables. They’re not “it just works” like lightning is. I don’t even use lightning anymore since I wireless charge everything but apple not putting usb c on their phones is completely inconsequential and really not the massive deal everyone thinks it is.

We’ve had that for literally 40+ years though with CQRS, which is used in every banking system (it’s why your bank can show you every transaction that has happened on your account). It’s also used by airports and airlines. It’s incredibly common tech that doesn’t require a blockchain or decentralization.

I thought they were talking about DE. It would be kinda weird to state everyone needs it otherwise

oh. gotcha. Hm. let me try!

yep. I can still see them in private mode :/

The whole point of this conversation is that OP is excluding drinks on some arbitrary line that no one else understands. If lemon water isn’t allowed then what is?

so then do you agree that they wouldn't bring you lemon water or cucumber water? clearly you didn't ask for those. but OP explicitly calls those out as 'no goofs'. so where's the line?

I purposefully called it lemon water. You could also call it lemonade.

you don’t call apple juice apple water or sprite sprite water.

but you do in other languages. Just because it's hard to find examples in English doesn't mean that the concept is unique.

Examples:

• Agua de horchata
• Agua fresca
• Agua de Jamaica a type of tea
• people are literally saying coconut water in this thread so idk what you think that is.
• Agua de Valencia a mimosa style cocktail
• Uisce beatha literally 'Water of Life' in Irish, it refers to Whiskey
• Aquavit another spirit that translate... you guessed it.. to Water of Life!
• Nước Chanh ... i'll let you google this one yourself 😉

In fact if you start looking into the root words of things you'll find 'water' everywhere! Vodka, you guessed it, is based on the root Slavic word 'voda' meaning..... Water!!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vodka

We're just talking about water here. This extends to literally any ingredient in any drink ever. If you start looking at other drinks you start finding strange things like Punch which may be from the Sanskrit for 'five' denoting the five ingredients used in it.

The word punch may be a loanword from Hindi पाँच (pāñć), meaning "five", as the drink was frequently made with five ingredients: alcohol, sugar, juice from either a lime or a lemon, water, and spices.
