Not that it makes your point less valid. Just a fun bit of trivia!

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•One of the claims on this Belvita packaging only appears in English
41·2 years agoYou mean to tell me I’ve been paying extra for boneless bananas for no reason?
Yes, I traded an iPod for them
Didn’t google only recently get the ability to block apps access to stuff like your camera, microphone, files etc? That was in iOS over a decade ago

Technology@lemmy.world•Incandescent light bulbs are officially banned in the U.S.English
42·3 years agoI think to update the string of lights you’d need to change transformer. Household bulbs have a driver in the bulb that converts the 230V to the ~12V the bulb uses. But for that string of lights, they’d need to get an electrician (or someone who knows what they’re doing)
I have an ikea one. Made by WhirlPool. You can find the manufacturer if you go to the support page for the product. I got a mid range ikea hob, and their 365 frying pan. The frying pan has the best Teflon, but the metal is pretty thin, so there is definitely hot spots. Just something to consider
Induction hobs are amazing. Much faster than gas at boiling water, and an equal response to changing temperature. Lower quality induction jobs and cookware will have hot spots though.

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•A quarter of Brits want a ban on fake grassEnglish
1·3 years agoI have one because we have too much shade to grow grass. We have a 3 storey 60s house and a small, north facing garden. That said only one brand was recyclable at the end of its life, which is a shame

UK Politics@feddit.uk•HS2 is officially ‘unachievable’ after being given red rating
2·3 years agoDo they mean unachievable for the budget?
What’s people’s thoughts on these for a new build that won’t connect to the gas grid. Electric underfloor heating is almost 100% efficient, cheap, doesn’t need plumbing or radiators, and incredibly easy to zone rooms. But these are 300-400% efficient

I had a very quick check and I think iPads use an external chip for USB 3 - and there may just not have been space on the iPhone’s logic board for that. I think you’d have to judge it next year - since the base models seem to be using last year’s pro chips - if the base model doesn’t support 3.1 speeds then, something fishy is happening
