It could be to protect the cord from being damaged by the prongs - the plastic cover would be softer and less sharp.

Thanks for the update. Enjoy your vacation!

Except that Starlink pricing and throughput is not linear. They're starting to add congestion charges in popular areas, they have no satellites at higher latitudes, and their devices suffer at low temperatures. If you think that Starlink will be able to deliver what Elmo claims, then I have a trip to the Titanic to sell to you.

To me the weekend is the end of the week. I don't start the week on its end, so by elimination the week starts on Monday.

Pixel 8 user here - the in-display fingerprint reader is fine, as long as my finger isn't super dry (which happens regularly). So I'm regularly licking my finger to unlock the device like some boomer that's used to doing it from turning pages in a book.

Thursday is 5/7 if you're one of those uncivilized people who start the week in Sunday.

That seems like a myopic view. Service misconfiguration is not always a vendor's fault, and demanding software vendors to patch their products is not going to fix OSS vulnerabilities. In fact, we've seen examples this year of increased pressure to fix "issues" leading to developers unwittingly accepting malicious commits.

Mind you, I'm not contesting that some vendors produce dogshit products (looking at you, CrowdStrike), but calling all vendors villains is a bit of a stretch.

Not better, but more familiar.

The newsworthiness of such characters would be zero if Disney hadn't lobbied to extend the copyright on the characters for nearly a century.

It's indestructible, but not unflushable.

My first thought was white gravy, but I can see Bechamel fitting the description too. I guess it would be a matter of ingredient ratios.
