    Some of Apple’s last hold-out accessories have switched from Lightning to USB-C

    My 13 Pro Max died and was replaced with a 16 Pro Max, which means everything is USB-C... except my older Magic Keyboard. Oh well. I'm not buying a new one.

    USB hubs, printers, Java, and more seemingly broken by macOS 14.4 update

    Chevrolet announces model year 2024 Equinox EV pricing

    Well, it’s a Harley, so random disconnects are an occasional problem. Also, a headset has to be connected. It’s quite useful, although using the hand controls for CarPlay is klunky and using a touch screen while riding is not my favorite thing.

    A new satellite has become one of the 20 brightest stars in the sky

    Maybe in 100 years people won't look at the stars. Children will grow up with awe and wonder of the satellites. :)
