    Does anyone have a sample of this music that I don't have to be logged into a music service to play? I don't 'do' music services.

    We would be far better off putting EV subsidies into electric public transit. If a person wants an EV they can buy one at full price. Electric public transit will do far more for the environment.

    Ok but you were hired as an engineer and you took on system admin. On your resume it says 'Engineer' 2016-2019 or whatever so there you put your Engineering duties. Where do you put your system admin duties?

    No, I didn't say that. I said if you want to be an iOS developer you have to use an Apple product, unlike many other platforms.

    For fucks sakes, you think I have lint in all my ports? You think it is right that a piece of lint defeats the stability of a port? Grow a brain. And yes I did check my ports for lint, there is no lint.

    You shouldn't have to maintain your laptop regularly just to keep it functional.

    Honestly, I can't comment on how South Korea runs their hotels. It is certainly very different then here or anywhere I care to visit.

    Really, I would have thought you would have brought up Erin Andrews because at least that happened in the US. But it happened because she was a popular figure, not because hotels are inherently bad.

    Why would anyone stay in a place where it was there responsibility to scour for video cameras so that the owner may be reported if corrupt? Sorry that's not something I want to worry about on my vacation, still sticking with a fairly known hotel chain.

    Just so that we can level-set, the street price is $3.50/g here. $6 gets you primo stuff. What kind of prices are you seeing in Quebec?

    People who code Apple apps are forced to use an Apple. Why would they not make it for coders? They literally force coders to use it as their machine.

    You made it sound like your 'hobby' was something which is nothing to do with systems admin, like maybe developing something. So unless your job role is 'developer' then you can't really talk about anything you developed under the system admin role.

    Meh, I think you miss the point. If there is a camera in the living room, there is a more likely chance that there are cameras in the bathroom and bedroom too. No thanks. I'll use camera free services that trust me.

    We're just seeing the tip of the iceberg. We'll be so far down the rabbit hole praising seemingly inexpensive services that cut regulations it will be too late to go back when we figure out that those regulations are there for good reason forged by real live experience. Something like how we let Google and Facebook violate everyone's privacy and now that is very difficult to undo.

    Also the USB-C ports wear out quickly. Many people on the Apple "help" forum complaining that USB drives won't stay connected because any jiggle disconnects the USB-C port.
