To bring that forward a generation, there was a period around 2013-2014 when vaping was brand new and schools hadn't written any rules yet.
I remember kids vaping in class and some teachers being kinda okay with it, or at least turning a blind eye. Granted, only like 1 or 2 people in the school had vapes.
I can't speak for all of the models, but my AMD Framework 13 can charge on any slot. I really like being able to charge from either side of my laptop.
IMO, modular ports is not the main selling point for Framework. I was sold on their commitment to a platform that is repairable/upgradable.
I have a "typical" set of ports (2x USB-C, HDMI, USB-A) that's on my laptop most of the time. I also have the 2.5GbE adapter that I use occasionally.
If the idea already existed EA wouldn't have been issued the patent. That's part of the process of obtaining the patent.
Point is moot because the patent was issued.
...leaving the idea unclaimed for someone else to patent instead? Strange take.
The patent system is far from perfect, but patents themselves are necessary. EA had an idea, they had the right to patent it. They had the right to keep the patent closed, instead they opted to open it.
I've found that grindr is trying to be more like tinder and less like the hookup app that it once was. Personally, I've been using Sniffies for hookups...haven't touched grindr in like 2 years 💅🏻
Well I suppose that's true when 19% of your GDP is in real estate...
here's hoping that housing prices crash soon 🙏🏻
omg I didn't know if it was just me but I have the worst luck with Nextcloud updates. I've had to restore from backup like 6 times in the 4 years that I've been running an instance.
I've been reading articles for years about how Google say they're going to open the RCS API to 3rd-Party apps but they have yet to do so.
