That's the thing. I get that people using the service on a third party client and not seeing ads is hurting their bottom line as they use bandwidth and not make money. But just banning them outright is a shit move. Ideally they would've made it part of Reddit Premium to make that a bit more worthwhile.

    None of the big VPN companies officially endorse use if their services for piracy or any illegal activities for that matter.

    But to crack down on it they would have to keep logs on your activity and with that most of their legitimate use cases wouldn't be valid anymore either.

    But even with an immutable distro you don't have to reboot. The updated image just gets downloaded in the background and booted into when you restart. There is no harm in still being booted from the old image id you don't specifically need anything only included in the new one. Nothing forces you to reboot.

    Fair point. Them not at least using USB 3 across the line up is silly and I don't really see what they gain from doing it apart from maybe saving a cent in production.

    But on the other hand I don't think it matters either. The vast majority of people probably don't plug their phone in for anything but charging and the few people that record large video files on their phone will probably get a pro model either.

    So yeah USB 2 speeds are silly and I don't want to defend a trillion dollar company for saving a cent on production but I don't think it matters either.

    Both iPhone 15 models were good iterative updates in my opinion. Nothing groundbreaking, sure, but Apple finally adopting both USB-C and AV1 is great to see and the programmable action button on the pro models is a nice addition as well.
