I wouldn't say that the Expanse books are "significantly better" than the show - they're both fantastic, and both have bits where they're better than the others (for example, the books have more characters and storylines, plus the arc of the last three books, while the show is amazingly well adapted and in many ways is a second revision of the overall story).

I'm still holding out hope for seasons 7-9 happening at some point in ~5 years. Assuming it's adapted at the same level as the prior seasons, seeing the final trilogy on screen will be epic!

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.

Another commenter mentioned that this is probably happening due to the EU's right-to-repair law. If Apple has to provide the parts and instructions there, then they might as well do it in the US as well and get some good press and goodwill for supporting the bill.

It's essentially the same reason why once the EU's USB-C law goes into effect, the US versions will (probably) also switch to USB-C, even though it isn't required.

I'm hoping that, someday, we have support for what I described in another post:

It would be very beneficial to have clients that support aggregating equivalent communities from multiple instances. When viewing a post from the aggregated community there could be a section at the top saying "Viewing comments from:" and then a dropdown to choose between "all instances", "lemmy.world", "lemmy.ml", etc. When viewing all comments, they would be in one combined feed, without the user needing to care about which underlying post holds the specific thread they're looking at.

Similarly, when users post something to an aggregate community, they could select whether it's posted to all the included communities, only one, or some specific subset.

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.

Videos are not documentation.

They can be used to demonstrate examples of how to do a particular task, but as other commenters have mentioned, documentation involves listing classes, functions, parameters, etc and clearly explaining what they all do, in a searchable manner. Text is searchable, video is not.

Nope, I absolutely hate Jira and everything that I needed to do in it at my old job. Luckily for most stuff we had other issue trackers (multiple, but that's another issue), but whenever I had to touch Jira or any other Atlassian tool, it was a bad time.

Even human life will still likely survive, just not necessarily in the large-scale, global civilization that we have today. Even if that all collapses, scattered pockets of human civilization will remain across much of the world.

Enhanced Safe Browsing was released in 2007 as an upgrade to Google's standard Safe Browsing feature that warns users when they visit known phishing and malware sites.

That's gotta be a typo. Gmail itself came out in 2004, and I doubt that "Safe Browsing" and then "Enhanced Safe Browsing" both came out in the first three years.

I'm guessing it's supposed to be 2017?

Regardless of when it came out, the nagging prompts sure are annoying.

They're way too expensive and they're still early-generation devices. Plus, why would I trust Google to continue with the product line seeing as how they keep killing viable products and services?

If they get to the Pixel Fold 4 or 5 and the price is down to the $500-600 range, then it'd be a very serious contender for me. (Assuming the insane fragility is resolved)
