Regarding your first example, you could just leave the charging cables plugged into the dock, so you can charge your watch and headphones without having to look for cables to plug in to your laptop.

Which router have you switched to?  (I am assuming you returned it and got a new one, or at least got a new one even if you couldn’t return it, given how much you hate it.)

“That means because you’ll often want to keep one of those ports free for recharging, you really only have one free port to play with, so you’ll probably need to shell out extra for a dock.”

I bought Netgear’s Orbi RBR50 mesh networking system about 5 years ago (one router, 4 satellites) and it’s been rock solid for all 5 years. I set up a Nighthawk router at my parent’s house that has also been rock solid for the past 4 years.

Depending on what size OLED TV you’re looking for, I think you’ll be able to get one for $500 sooner than that; LG just announced OLED sizes of 42", 48", and 55", so depending on the pricing of those sizes, I think more and more people will be buying OLED TVs, bringing the price down faster than if they had just kept…

Thanks!  Glad to know I’m not just obtuse (at least in this case, LOL).

I haven’t been keeping tabs on this whole situation, but... what exactly is Ray Fisher saying happened? I don’t understand exactly what he’s accusing Joss Whedon/Geoff Johns/Walter Hamada of doing (or not doing), so I’m not sure how upset (or not) I should be on behalf of Ray Fisher...

“thanks to all the laptop announcements were about to get”

Double clicking the power button for the camera on the Pixel phones has been pretty convenient, in my opinion.

All good, at least you recognize what was overlooked; so many people just don’t understand punctuation to begin with, it’s disheartening.

Oh, I thought you were saying one person shot 3 people, since you said, “1 shot 3".

Huh?  Are you saying that all 4 people involved in that are the 4 people that died?  Or that the three people that died in the incident you are describing is in addition to the woman who was shot?  

“which left one woman fatally wounded after being shot in the neck.”

Definitely. While Apple is probably only going to use microLED for iPhone/iPad screens initially, I’d imagine at some point, they’ll scale it up for the 27" iMacs. But while they’re doing that, TV manufacturers will be coming out with microLED TVs (beyond Samsung’s insanely expensive The Wall that’s available now), so…

Gotcha.  Yeah, in 5 years, you should be able to get a really good OLED for a very decent price.  I’m hoping microLED TVs will come out before then and drive down OLED prices even more quickly. 🤞

Minivans are supremely practical, especially considering the price (I think the most expensive ones top out at ~$50K or less), but there’s that social stigma that many people can’t seem to get over.  For your example, I think an overly expensive pickup truck would probably be the best example, since you now have…
