I don't think your comparison to Framework is justified since 1) they made a headphone jack expansion module that's available along with all the other ports and 2) the Framework 16 has 6 expansion bays instead of 4. If you need a headphone jack you get a 25% increase in configurable ports, and if you don't need one you get a 50% increase in ports. Plus, you can easily switch between those two cases.

I'm always frustrated when a game or service says to check out their Discord for information. Discord is a confusing mess of chat channels, and while it can certainly be useful in (near-)realtime interactions, I can't imagine trying to look up longer-lived information, like what they're trying to use it for. Make a forum, or a blog, or use a subreddit, but not Discord.

I think the most recent case of this was the game Terra Invicta, where I saw a tangential reference somewhere to some coming updates to the game, and a game rep said to check their Discord for more details. No thanks.

"Artificial General Intelligence" (AGI) seems to be the new term for what used to be considered AI.

I'm sure they'll move the goalposts once again whenever "AI" stops bringing in the money and the VCs/Wall Street get ridiculously focused on "AGI" startups and scammers.

But does it still support the first-gen iPhone?

This article is from 2017. I'm sure it would have been useful at the time, but it's not covering present-day JavaScript.

That's unfortunate.

Instead of requiring an insurance selection or defaulting to one specific instance, perhaps they could have a handful of moderate/large instances that the app randomly selects between when a user signs up. That would spread out the signups from people who don't understand the instances.

No duh - why would it have any ability to do that sort of task?

At that point Apple might as well pull out of doing business in the UK entirely.

Yet another clear example of why I have no intention to ever live in, visit, or do business in that hell-hole of a state.

I freaking hate Shorts, and the persistence with which YouTube attempts to shove that crap down your throat is absolutely infuriating.

YouTube also recently made the thumbnails larger, which is also really bad as it makes it more difficult to see what videos are in your subscription feed (even moreso with all the shorts clogging it up).

Mine went through just fine - I'm curious what subset of users this affected.

Regarding the list of who you supported, Patreon has sent me monthly "Your Patreon receipt is here!" emails that list out each supporter and the tier. I don't believe I explicitly enabled these emails - they just started coming one month, so presumably one would have needed to specifically turn them off to not get the receipts.

Symmetrical gigabit is a bit much for a baseline. Should it be widely available for all, and for a good price? Absolutely. But plenty of people (probably a majority even) could be adequately served by something like 300 down/100 up as a baseline tier.
