The problem with USB-A is that well, it has to have no problems.
Ramblings
What I mean by that is, for USB to be a ‘universal’ serial bus it has to keep legacy support while still allowing the standard as a whole to keep up with new tech, and there’s just no sane way to do that on one plug type.
As for why type C is the way it is:
The USB Implementers Forum decided that adding more pins to the original format (type A) was a dead end (no way to keep backwards compatibility after a point), and the only way foward was to make type A a ‘legacy’ port while a new connector would take over as the main/modern one.
The forum decided that to make that happen type C has to be more decoupled from type A then previous connectors.
Since the most profitable market for electronics is the mobile one, that’s what they aim for with type C. (And because all the previous mobile USB types sucked, especially the micro).
Also probably atleast some if not most of the forum members wanted planned obsolescence, it’s goverened by tech companies after all.
Still, type C and the 4.0 standard in general is pretty good at doing what it was meant to do.
It’s unreasonable to stop further software development just because there’s a ‘mature’ solution around. Besides, just because a solution is ‘mature’ doesn’t make it good.
And considering that it seems like you can still use the original, about 30 year old format, doesn’t look like there’s any harm for the folks not needing or able to use the new stuff.
The ‘cookie’ law is (mainly) the ePrivacy Directive, that requires websites to get a user’s informed, specific, and affirmative consent before storing or accessing non-essential information on their device.
To comply a website must inform users about their cookie usage (who is using it, why, and how long they are stored, I think) and allow users to easily withdraw their consent at any time (though there’s no requirement to easily decline).
Actualy looking at the site, it already might be? I’m not sure, I don’t remember the specifics of the law. But there is a banner pop up and you do inform cookies are used and why, and there’s an easy way to withdraw consent.
You’re the one who brought age into this convo?

Your account is 19 months old, and you have 7,5k comments??? That’s about 400 comments per month, and comes out to 12-13 per day? How do you have the patience and time for that? I can’t be bothered replaying to more than one comment/post per week.
Not in the first comment, and I replayed to the second one only because they were acting like a stereotypical obnoxious redditor. As for LMM use, sure it could replace them, just give it a little more time and more money and a bit more money and some more money and also enough data server centres to suck dry entire lakes
“assumptions”? Maybe consider how “I’m so sick of coding” implies you’re doing coding? I’m so sick of driving, oh no somebody ‘assumed’ I’m a driver instead of a mechanic. Believe it or not, most people ‘assume’ something when you use sentences that imply it. CrAZy, riGhT? 😲

So, there’s 4 continents? Abya Yala, Afrasia, Australia and Antarctica
White grape? Here that’s apple juice. And not only for ‘juice 100%’ but also instead of sugar (to get around sugar-in-drinks taxes).
It’s in almost bloody everything. Last week I bought pre made tea, I get home and it’s fucking 20% apple juice and like 0.1% green tea extract, guess what it tasted like. fucking. apple. juice.
Fuck your putrid shit ass apples, you greedy bastards. hope you crash your car into an apple orchard if you like them so much.
I know, that’s why I donate or buy merch/products from creators I like.
They get more money from that than they would ever get from ad revenue, and I get a less annoying experience of what ever platform I’m using (plus minimize profit corpos make on me, that’s always good).
If what ever corpo media wanted me to allow it easier profit, if sure better grow feet and give me a happy ending, otherwise it’s not gonna happen.
