Simlocks have completely vanished from the market at least here in Germany, mostly because carriers don’t care if you use your subsidised bonus phone with a different card – you’re still locked into a contract with two years or such minimum duration. Even those contracts have gotten rare though I think most people right-out own their phones and then make a separate contract.
A massive population correction is inevitable.
The world population is going to stop growing, naturally, within the next decades as the last populous countries finish their demographic transition. It’s even going to see a reduction in many places unless steered against due to way below placement rate fertility. Long story short human fertility is intimately tied to child mortality: The fewer children die, the fewer kids we have, investing in quality over quantity.
The earth can easily sustain that population, even in a more fucked up state.
A and B are the original, used for host and device sides, respectively. C is the same on both ends of the cable because figures there’s device classes which can sensibly act as both, in particular phones. It’s also the most modern of the bunch supporting higher data transfer and power delivery rates because back in the days where A and B where designed people were thinking about connecting mice and keyboards, not 8k monitors or kWhs worth of lithium batteries.
The whole mini/micro shennanigans are alternative B types and quite deeply flawed, mechanically speaking.
That’s the sort of thing that should just be an extension
It most likely is on the technical level, just shipped by default and integrated into standard settings instead of the add-on ones. And it’s going to be opt-in, so you won’t have to go into about:config
to disable it. Speaking of: You’re looking for extensions.pocket.enabled
, it should be false
. And before you say “muh diskspace” it’s probably like 5k of js and css or such.
You don’t need a laptop to use a framework mainboard, they run without battery and display and everything. So if you have a Framework 13 or are in the market for one this might actually be a very nice thing, especially if the price is comparable to other boards.
They still might very well be over-represented because looking at decompression errors doesn’t isolate the CPU, could also be the disk, or RAM. Or even download though that tends to have independent checksumming. And it might not even be he components it could be cosmic rays, if you run code often enough on enough boxes errors are unavoidable, at least on hardware that isn’t space-grade and/or buried underground.
