“In the end, they determined that a minimum colony population of 22 agents was ideal to maintain a feasible Mars mining colony over the long-term.”

    Now part of me wants to wait for USB-C. The other part of me knows I have a lightning phone that I’ll be keeping for 3 more years. I feel like maybe lightning would be better until I get a USB-C phone.

    I bought a few from Next, and although they were cheap, I can’t see them lasting as long as my superdry tshirts.

    I might try the M&S ones next.

    The superdry T-shirts might be expensive, but when they last way longer it ends up being better and less wasteful. Still, I think there’s probably a better compromise on cheaper and still decent long lasting quality.

    It’s been explained a few times so I won’t repeat what others have said.

    But I actually wish App-Clips were more common. I hate having to download a whole app for a one time payment for some company.

    I did finally see one for a car park the other day.

    I’ve only ever seen one when I’ve been pretty close to the merchant.

    This is just a coincidence and not an ad. You happen to be very near that location. As I say I’ve only ever seen one when I’ve been within meters of a merchant that had one. I assume it’s Bluetooth range.

    Not surprising. It’s not as if companies only start on the next version once the current one is out. Things like this need planning years in advance. I think I heard on the ATP podcast that Apple are already planning and working on what the M7 will be.

    Just because they are testing the M4/M5 doesn’t mean it’s ready, or can be fabricated at scale for an acceptable cost just yet.

    When Apple want to, they can design amazing things. So I look forward to see if they come up with a clever Apple-like way to do this. Or maybe they just make it easier to remove the back.
