I think the implication is once the fees stop being paid it ceases to be your problem. The storage company will sell the contents of your locker.

It’s always been flawless for me.

It uses Bluetooth to establish a connection so I wonder if that is the source of some peoples problems.

Maybe that's it. It is really dependent on the radio environment indeed. And it uses Wi-Fi Direct for large transfers.

Once I had weird dropouts streaming to a friend's Bluetooth speakers because it had weird interaction with my Apple Watch, my iPhone, and his iPhone. That was in a cabin basically in the middle of nowhere...

But that's basically my point. Wireless everything is cool and convenient at first sight, but then you often have to deal with all kinds of problems, making you wish you could just connect a cable, browse the file system, and exchange stuff that way.

I have a friend who connects his Android phone to his Macbook, and he drags and drops the photos in/out of storage. Simple, efficient, no need for any cloud, no need for internet/wireless connectivity, no need to wait for any syncing, it just works.

> Nostalgia is real but I do remember a not so distant past (around iPhone 4S or so) where AirDrop worked, autocorrect worked, text selection was flawed but predictable, WiFi connected and stayed connected etc.

The funny thing is all of those features are fine for me.

I’d hate to see GitHub assigning reputation to users.

I remember it took days to figure out that there was a door over the camera on my wife’s laptop. I had no idea this could be the case.

I remember reading that slightly depressed people tend to have a more accurate world view.

Perhaps there is something to the saying ignorance is bliss.

I might be misunderstanding, but I wouldn't call "un-depressed" people ignorant.

I also think depressed people would regress to the average if they weren't depressed. It's not a sustainable way to think harder and open your eyes to the world around you.

Yes I remember reading that too and it resonated. As a slightly depressed person I can't believe the delusionally positive spin people seem to put on everything and nonetheless this seems to be a winning strategy for them. I never could explain that.

Starting with an accurate world model, no matter how dispiriting, seems to be a prerequisite for knowing the most effective action to take.

>The thing I heard was always killing them was the ports coming loose from people plugging and unplugging things all the time.

I think it's the heat generated around the connector which causes the problems.

macOS is better when you have a 216 dpi monitor. Every application works perfectly which you can't say about Linux.

I can say exactly that about Linux?

I use Linux as my daily driver (KDE, 200% scaling on a 24" 4K) and I really love its DPI scaling. With Plasma 5 I had a few little bugs involving DPI but they are solved with Plasma 6.

Same wuth all the apps I use (which admittedly are mostly Qt apps because I don't like Gnome/GTK so I avoid those as much as possible).

I think the main problem with the LG is if you charge your laptop from it. Doing that heats up the connector and pulls it from the main board.
