It supported 18w of USB PD. Is there some further spec?

I have relatives on an island with a permanent population of about ~200 that cooperatively own their store

Maybe not generally, but it's starting to be a thing https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/7055029?hl=en

Apparently iRobot is going to Amazon Devices and not Amazon Robotics, but who knows if they'll silently transfer a lot of that knowledge/talent after the acquisition

The pixel 1 had a wedge shape for this reason

Amazon has a similar service now, but brands need to onboard so it's not super wide spread yet https://brandservices.amazon.com/transparency

They definitely have some fluff pieces talking about cases where it happens, no idea how common it is relative to those others though

At Amazon return to office is now up to middlemanagement some entire orgs are officially ok with full remote indefinitely. Outside these orgs some individuals can work from different locations on the same team. It's not quite clear what the average steady state will look like, but with a lot of internal hiring at Amazon, I would imagine things would gradually tend towards being fairly flexible

I think flying [let's say current nation's] flag, can very a bunch depending on the country, I know in Denmark as well as the US it appears much more common than in other parts of the world. And personally, once I'm used to a flag being flown, I don't really care which

In the UK flying a union flag (residentially) would be extremely unusual - I'm aware of one, not where I live, and indeed it attracts scoffs and eyerolls - you do see England flags (St George crosses) more, particularly at certain times of year or certain years; that's more a signal that 'I am a football fan' than of patriotism, though.

Maybe that biases me against them in general. But even for things I do 'support' in some sense (I noticed a Ukraine flag covering a garage door recently, for example) I don't want a flag waved at me, and I wouldn't want a neighbour that did that.

Purely anecdotally, but it seemed like the majority of the students in my college classes, American or not, were probably more interested in the money than passionate
