I'm fully expecting Apple to make their usb-C phones region locked lol
If they do that, I’ll get rid of all my apple stuff and move to someone else lmao, I give apple a lot of passes but I can’t do that
@@OccupiedMuffins should have done that a long time ago
But that would be more effort and cost them more just to do that... So yes they will 100% do that.
I love my iPhone, I would import a Type C one if it’s not region locked
Apple will probably just remove the port entirely for EU sales and include a MagSafe charger to bypass the regulation.
partt of me won't be surprised if Apple will still try to detect Apple charging bricks and overcharge the battery when it's not detected, and then blame it on the quality of third party chargers
Ahh, like the good ol' days of Microsoft's AARD code.
damn don't give them ideas lol
do you think they WANT to be sued?
I more likely think they are going to do that no port thing.
@@uwuLegacy You really think they really care about a small fine?
For those who can’t read the fine text at about 5:39, todays editor, Mark, is absolutely devastated by the news, as he had used the service for several years
Yeah. When I see text fly by like that. Which would be impossible to read. I don’t bother. I assume they are trying to be cute/funny (and get you to pause) but their little cutesy banter is cringy enough.
Come on Apple! Think of Mark! You can’t take away macOS server forever! :*{
Please switch to Linux for server operation like normal people.
The hero we need.
@@codycast Jeez who hurt you man?
The main reason Apple doesn't have USB-C on the iPhone is because they have a huge revenue stream of royalties from Lightning cable sales. Anything with the Made For iPhone sticker on it is something that Apple earns royalties from, and they don't want to lose that.
So just create an equivalent Made for Apple iPhone USB-C cable and charger then
@@derek400004 it’s not a unique cable though- kinda looses its purpose
Royalty from inefficiency? screw that. Having a standard advances humanity. Gathering riches for one's own is the opposite.
Thanks captain obvious
If that's the case then why did Apple change their ipads and mac books to have USB C charging then?
Imo the "scavenging" sets a good precedent: I mean, it's just recycling. I feel like recycling old silicon that's just lying around in landfills and other waste sites seems like the way to go. Wouldn't it be an economically feasible solution to increase product availability in this way? Or does the cost outweigh the benefits?
Think it's more like cost outweigh profit, than benefit.
@@varshard0 yes this is pretty much it, but now since there is a shortage and also a huge demand, that could change.
It is a good thing for some products, not so much for other. Sure I don't give a crap if my alarm clock uses a recycled washing-machine silicon, but you would not want this in your phone, car or computer
Also, this limits the stock of used products for you to obtain. Basically forcing you to buy new and spending more.
There is a safety concern with exposure, at least in developing countries
Europe: *We want USB-C on iPhones.*
Apple: *Okay (gives iPhones with USB-C to Europe while keeping Lightning port on iPhones in other regions)*
iphones: go portless instead
that woudln't be efficient for Apple, they would most liekly ship all iphones with USB-c it would be cheaper in their factories.
@@romano5785 it would but apple is apple and sounds like something they would pull
@@epicgamer496 The recent update to the mandate prohibits that.
That was a joke, but Apple is that evil.
I know we always say this, but Riley and James are the best combo
James is heavily underrated and under appreciated in my opinion

@@Trustmage ??
The PS5 ads thing reminds me of Burnout Paradise where the billboards that you could drive by had real ads on them like Intel ones etc.
Can always trust EA to be the first company to have that fantastic idea
EA has always been on the cutting edge of squeezing more money out of their games than anybody else.
EA and 2K used to put ads in their sport games loading screens, the problem the PS5 cuts on loading times. How could the poor AAA companies survive this strive, oh just create an artificial load time just for the Ad
Good luck noticing them though even half of the time as taking your eyes off the road for even half a second is a fantastic way to wreck in Burnout.
If the billboard ads are period and situationally correct, I don't even mind really. Like the Burger King bits in NFSMW (OG).
But I don't image companies to want to associate their brands, in games with a lot of violence or dare I say, s*xual content. Which could ultimately lead to smaller budgets for violent games, that don't have a large established name. Especially when knowing EA.
Or burger king stuff in the American versions of need for speed underground 2 and most wanted? I don't remember them on my European copy of underground as a kid, but when I "acquired" the GameCube versions for my modded Wii (totally just to back up my CDs I swear, wink) the ads sure we're weird
if they want to push adverts in-game then remove the damn unecessary microtransactions
But they are searching for "new" ways to make MORE money :o How dare you to propose such thing!
If they put adverts like how said billboard or example ingame news paper thats actually a good way without ruining the game. Atleast is better way instead of forcing user to watch ads every hour just to play. Still microtransaction the best way to make money so they not gonna just drop it.
I mean if the chip shortage is what's finally gonna get us all to dress in leather fetish gear while roaming the Australian desert in modified hot-rods, I'm all for it.
You know, that does make me wonder: Why do they dress in leather fetish gear in one of the hottest places on Earth? You would think dressing more loosely would be better for the summertime heat.
@@johnbuscher I can only imagine they started out wearing latex fetish gear, and then transitioned to leather for something more breathable.
The chip shortage was going to happen even whiout the lockdowns. They just made it happen sooner. The chip factoris capacitiy has not grown that much in the last 10 years. The problem is that the demand has skyrocketed. For some reason people decided to put computers in everything. From home appliences to even non electric tools. I saw watter battles with a computer "to let you know how much you drink" , watter glasses with the same, a hair brush with computer counting how many times you are brushing your hair, mirrors , tables ext. Its just insain.
@@mowtow90 I mean I have no idea what that has to do with dressing in a gimp suit while driving a modded classic car through the Australian outback but sure, you do you.
I’m with Mark, the editor of the video. Working for AppleCare supporting Mac OS X Server was an amazing point in my life and springboard for my career. I will always look back fondly on the days of supporting Mac OSX Server 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, and sadly 10.7 (when they started to really simplify it and part ways from its Unix origins)… Mac OS X Server is a shadow of its former self, I will admit… I moved away from it to Ubuntu, but I still think 10.6 was something pretty special.
springboard… i see what you did there 😄
@@alyxferrari8793 yeah, I'm kind of proud of that one. :)
@@diothar my mom worked as an AHA for about ten years. Ive done iOS apps for about the same
@@jhoughjr1 They didn't have AHA when I was there, although I still remember the code name of that project when they were testing it. :) It was a good time in my life and I look back on it fondly.
are there any server features that weren't rolled into Mac OS?
Banning call recording apps to avoid responsibility for their usage in two-party consent states (or otherwise restricted areas) makes 0 sense. Walmart doesn’t get sued when someone uses a hammer that was purchased from them to assault someone. It’s a tool.
Also, they aren’t banning native call recording functionality; Only 3rd-party apps that use the accessibility API for call recording functionality. So I think the assertion about their intent is misdirected.
This was definitely the most upsetting news for me. I have had my ass saved _multiple_ times because I had my phone set up to record all of my calls automatically. Google's crap policy is just going to push me to root my phone and completely undermine any "security" motivations they had in mind.
I can't count the amount of times I've needed to borrow a usb-c charger but everyone had iPhones lol
For me it’s the opposite, I need a iPhone charger but everyone had everything besides that

Never did I imagine that we'll reach the stage of cannibalizing washing machines of their silicon to combat the chip shortage.
When they finally learn the definition of recycling parts to a while new level.
At last the big companies are doing some practical recycling, and all it took is chip shortage...
A part of me is happy because this will help to reduce our consumption of resources in the long run. We should have started this a long time ago
im in fact very happy seeing people doing whats supposedly people do best, which is adapting. i do propose that, those who created the situation in the first place to be decapitated in public
That's...one way to describe recycling.
Not just USB C, EU should standardize Fast charging standard as well. Make sure OEMs support PD fast charging. Otherwise, Apple and others will make their proprietary charging standards so users would still be required to buy chargers from same brand or get stuck at 5-10w charging.
Apple, Google, Xiaomi, OnePlus and others already have made Wireless Fast charging proprietary.
Apple DOES support PD since 2015. PD is the better of the two USB fast charging standards since it isn't proprietary as Qualcomm Quick Charge is.
@@Hi11is Apple supports PD but they can go Proprietary in case they are forced to implement Type C in order to incentivise their customers to chose Apple chargers over third party. Like they support Qi Wireless charge but require Proprietary MagSafe for fast wireless charging. Even USB PD Champion Google uses a similar approach for Wireless charging, any Qi charger for slow wireless charging proprietary Pixel stand for fast wireless charging.
BTW there are more than two fast charging standards apart from PD and QCC, VooC-Dart-Warp supported by BBK group, Pump Express by Mediatek, Adaptive fast charge by Samsung, Turbo Power by Motorola, Hyper Charge-Sonic Charge by Xiaomi. These standards will be the weapon of choice for phone manufactures to sell expensive chargers.
EU will be standardizing wireless charging 2026
now there is QC and PD. my oppo X5 pro support both + supervooc
@@ThisMarv They are standardizing wireless charging not fast wireless charging which is where everyone is going proprietary. All phones currently support basic Qi wireless charge which is very slow. For fast you will have to buy their proprietary docks. Same goes for wired charging. EU is currently standardizing Type C for charging but not mandating USB PD which means manufacturers can implement Type C with basic charging but for fast charging they'll need proprietary charger.
Talking about Apple, in Brazil, Apple had to pay R$5000 to a consumer who had to buy the iPhone and a charger separately, and this, in Brazil, is against the law, because it's a compulsory sale (you can't use any smartphone without a charger).
5000 ROBUX!!!!!
that's nothing. Brazil coin ( Real ) is worth shit
@@aspilobo well around $1k, so free iPhone i guess.
@@aspilobo "nothing", you know you are rich when 1000$ is nothing to you
Oh hey, the thread I made on LTT’s forum is on TechLinked! Also, seems like the exceptions only being allowed for small &/or thin devices like watches prohibits Apple from going portless with the iPhone.
Nice, GG!
"The server works there" Such a golden throw away line had me in splits 🤣
I've read through the first draft of EU's DSA and although it is reasonable in some parts, it introduces a public-private censorship because it mandates online platforms to be the judge of what is or isn't illegal content, instead of making optional or via court order only (imagine a DMCA take down request). It's pretty terrible for free speech not only in EU and will have a chilling effect in others countries too, because EU is a big market and it is just easier to have a flat policy and pre-censor to avoid penalities.
Love the note from the editor! You are heard, and your pains are felt.
I sure hope that USB-C law is written in a way that makes it easy to update in case a USB-D or whatever comes out in the future.
Considering 'type C' is simply the connector type, they will just keep coming out with new gens of it with better wattage capabilities and faster speeds until they hit the physical limitations of the wiring and connector.
Which, unless devices and battery tech become SIGNIFICANTLY more power hungry won't happen for a very long time, especially with the most recent revision giving type C up to 240W power delivery and 20-40Gbps data transfer speed
Your phone will be long gone by then
yep the law imply than when a new and better standard will befound all the factory will swich to the new one
I don't trust them to be that competent.
I don’t trust governments at all with mandating tech stuff like this. It’s been proven time and time again that barely any of them know anything about technology. It’s stupid so many people are cheering it on only because it has a small chance with messing with Apple instead of thinking about things.
About Google removing third party apps - I remember when we were downloading flashlight app, so i think that Google should just make it super easy to record your phone call like a flashlight right now
3:41 lmfao that roar from Riley xD
First time I saw ads in games (besides obviously F1/Rally/Nascar/etc racing games where it seems ok) was Burnout: Paradise with it's giant billboards ( there was a bonus event on smashing them) . The one commercial that I really liked was an ad to an EVGA motherboard :) .
Don't worry. Apple will make a version with lighting just for America.
The USB-C mandate actually covers this, they have to go FULL usb-c or stop selling phones in Europe. I think I can take a guess at the more likely scenario
@@alkaline.dreamer Well, I knew they wouldn't do that because it would only add the costs with no benefit. It was a joke anyway, but I'm glad they covered this too.
@@alkaline.dreamer No, it's only mandatory for phones and other devices sold IN the EU.
What you're referring to is the "Brussels effect", meaning the globalisation of EU legislation through market forces.
@@alkaline.dreamer on the other side, apple makes most of their revenue in america and most european people are android guys
@@64bitmodels66 yeah but do you think apple is going to ditch a 450 million citizen market?
Mark, your commentary and dedication never goes unnoticed :)
I always look forward to the segue in these episodes
Thanks for keeping up with the video production, and holding down the fort during a spike in rungus, James, you're awesome!!
I bet Apple will just remove all ports and use wireless charging only (although the EU are also implementing a standard there until 2026). Or somehow build the iPhone in a way that USB-C is too big to be on the phone
They’ve been using Type C on iPads for a while now, and they weren’t even forced to. So I can totally see them switching on iPhone too, if required.
@@andrewr_ they get money from having the lightning charging port, from royalties or something, so that's why they don't want to change
After experiencing USB-C with my Nexus 6P in 2015, I could have never imagined we'd still be talking about phones not having it in 2022
Only iPhones actually. It's not surprising the only way they were going switch to USB C was if they were legally force to
Just what we need for the weekend...Techlinked
You could put some form of ad in a loading screen I guess... That's the only way I can see it not disrupting gameplay
Back in the day SSX 3 had billboards for the Honda element and the 7up soda dnL. Wasn't that bad, though having ads (videos) like in mobile games, I'd hate that.
It dates all the way back to Mt Dew ads in the PS1 racing game Jet Moto which came out in 1996.
You can find ads in games as far back as 1984 (Daley Thompson's Decathlon had ads for Lucozade, for example). However, the situations where ads are tolerable instead of intrusive is very limited. Crossing that line with regular video games would be capital B - Bad.
To a certain extent, having lived in an era of +30 different Nokia chargers, I do agree with the EU's initiative to standardize the charging port, not just to stick it to The Man, but also for the convenience factor with my iPhone-using friends
But I can't seem to remove the fear of growing pains, since Apple is already so deep into the ecosystem. I mean, I remembered when Apple ditched the 30-pin connector, rendering a lot of home speakers useless.
But Apple already uses Type-C for their ipads, Laptops and iMacs, their phones and pods are the only ones left that use lightning.
OK Markass
i feel like finding every possible charger type and making them
@@gregbarnes4083 Don't forget the magic mouse!
Well, that's what you get when you invest into a blocked off ecosystem.
@2:55 best ad transistion ever
on one hand i like the usb c standerdization. but on the other hand i have the feeling it might hold back inovation when it comes to new connectors. you never know if something better pops up in the future. and if that cant be included in any tech because of a law we might get stuck
Apple would straight up strip charging port and move to wireless only lol
Apple actually can’t do that anymore, as the recent update to the EU mandate prohibits Apple from going completely portless outside of small devices like the Apple Watch.
I feel like the magsafe wouldn't be at risk because it is open for other manufactures and it still qi compatible.
Yeah but Apple would have a lot of work to do to get a fast transfer of data, let alone compatibility with their lossless audio. No doubt they're trying to figure it out, and they have patents but no guarantee it's going to work well.
3rd parties have to pay royalty fees to Apple to be magsafe compatible and enable 15 Watts charging + some fancy animations. Qi is limited to only 7,5 Watts.
That CAW from riley was and james reaction was so funny :D at 3:44
Well seing adds in game billboards wouldn't annoy me at all as long as I'm not forced to look at them (like video ads)
i love the guy behind the camera participating as much as the host it makes this feel so much more casual and friendly also they’re funny
edit: even the editor has stuff to say 💀
Is this your first time watching the show?
Exactly, I love that about this show, adds to the humour
It's been a staple since then NCIX Netlinked days...
I still remember my first day with the tech news. I don’t even understand what they are talking about often but it always gets me in the right mood 😂
Had the same experience multiple h years ago when I started watching tech linked, they have always done that and in love it!! 😍
Well I'm glad Appel will have to convert to USB-C one way or another.
Had a situation where a colleague of mine asked for a charging cable,but I had USB-C and they used a Lightning cable.
Its so convenient to have my charging stuff whit me and share it.
So your reason is so you can borrow charging cables? Lmfao
Interestingly enough, Trackmania 2020 has this method of monetization in game since launch. The Stadium environment has virtual billboard with advertisement either of in game content, or paid sponsors. I think it is actually a cool way of getting a revenue while keeping the game as "open" as it can be.
Thermal grizzle makes one for the alder lake processor as well, we gotta find something to replace chips or a new element to make them from
Well done holding the fort together this week, James! We all appreciate how hard you work, as well as everyone else at LMG
I’ve always thought having real ads on in game billboards would make a lot of sense and could actually enhance some games (depending on the theme of the game)
Same here. So many games have billboards with fake advertisements, and putting real ads there would not hinder the game experience and potentially enhance it to some extent.
5:38 Oh hi, Mark!
Loved the editors note jajajajajajaja
As a IT guy I am happy about this. It will be much better to manage the phones we supply to our employees.
I work in school IT support and we're slowly moving to USB-C everything. We've already retired our old fleet of Acer Chromebooks that don't use USB-C. We're hoping to get most of our staff on newer Lenovo laptops that use USB-C by the end of this year.
Y'all are doing great jobs running this channel
Care to explain?
these videos are so funny and quirky yet somehow still very informative and I Love it
Hi Mark: the editor for today's TechLinked. I am very sorry for your loss.
Riley remains the best part of technews
I think the law for USB-C is a very good idea, I just hope they'll make it flexible enough that when a new standard rolls around it can be amended quickly.
The standard is revised every couple of years. Originally it was the reason to the switch to micro usb but there was a loophole in it.
You’re talking about governments. They are always slow to respond.
That phoenix scream though 🤣
Ads in game are a good idea in my opinion, the minecraft server minehut does something like that, its a colection of billboards that can be rented and you can place your ad on them, last time i was on that server they were advertising no way home
I had really hoped that the whole "Google recording calls" thing was them not recording calls, but no. Just making sure no one else can hustle in on their territory.
Sorry Mark!!! I hope you can find something else you can use now that the Mac server is shut down!
Idk why but but Riley Phoenix grawl killed me 🤣🤣🤣🤣
5:38
Oh Hey, Mark.
The legal liability re: call recording sounds very weird to me - if I own my phone and use it to, idk, coordinate my massive criminal network or whatever, that's not something Google will be held responsible for. Or if I use it to stalk and harass someone. I'm sure it'd be a good thing for victims to be able to record that kind of phone calls...
I mean, if it's a feature already built in to Android then it's whatever if they ban third party recording apps - I could understand a safety argument there, maybe - but call recording _isn't_ universally available on Android phones. I assumed it was until my dad asked me to show him how to do it, and his phone just didn't have it.
Honestly, I was thinking that having a message auto play if the call is recorded like what companies have could help to mitigate this. Obviously there will be those who try to find a way to get around it to secretly record, but that is why you have a two-way agreement and two-way recording right?
Idk, just a thought from someone who can see the value of recording calls legally
One if those moments I am proud of being in Europe. This is the kind of things we all benefit from. Hopefully we'll see some sort of interoperability also for messenging (the iMessages thing is a real problem in the US I could see, kids are under pressure if they don't have iPhones to use that imessages).
Interoperability for messaging is part of the Digital Markets Act, to be implemented in 2023
This is probably the only moment I’m ever proud to be here 😂
There is no problem in the US w/ iMessage. Don’t believe everything you read or watch. I have kids in middle and high school and neither they or their friends care what color the message bubble is.
Yeah till it comes back to bite us all in the ass. Like the, “this website uses cookies.” Pointless , and often breaks website functionality. Sure regulator intentions are good, but government take so long to update and change. It will probably just hurt innovation. Imagine being stuck on micro USB.
@@Cat-kp7rl As far as I remember it says usb-c for now and fitire COMMON standard, unified for all. So it allowed updating it when time comes.
Was the beginning of quick bits supposed to be a Psych reference?
Talking about how ads disrupt gameplay. Followed by an ad xD
Let me guess whats going to happen next. Apple will release MFI certified USB-C cables and chargers, and normal cables will only transfer data at USB 2 speed and 5V1A charging speed.
They can't do this since they have to use the whole standard.
You know that Apple already make all these accessories as Macs and iPads are fully USB C?
Apple's next move? Remove the charging port entirely.
You know they're gonna do it someday. Then the rest will too shortly after insulting apple for it.
Apple can’t do that anymore. This mandate only allows for devices that are either too thin or too small to go portless. The iPhone is neither of those things.
Yep, if Apple does, (they probably won’t) Samsung will make fun of Apple and say they’ll never do such a thing. Then Samsung will release their next phone without a port…
@@Neoxon619 they can make the iPhone so thin it won’t fit
We feel sad for you mark. Nice jon on the edits :)
TBH a prime example on how to implement adverts a non disruptive way would be Trackmania, where the big stadium billboards simply display real ads
I think Apple will die on the lightning connector hill or just flat out come out and say "NO PORTS!" rather than switching to USB-C. At this point, they are just doing it for the memes or for spite.
The mandate only allows devices that are either too small or too thin to fit a USB-C cable to go portless, which effectively kills Apple’s dream of a portless iPhone.
@@Neoxon619 Yeah, but I can still see it happening outside of the EU. Either they start providing USB-C everywhere or they go portless everywhere else outside of the EU and frame it as a cost savings. Either way I don't think USB-C is going to happen outside of the EU they will figure something else out for sure.
@@ProXcaliber That’s actually another thing, the law will be enforced six months after it’s ratified. And given that July is the estimated time for ratification, Apple will need to go USB-C for the iPhone 15. Even if they want to go portless for everywhere outside of the EU, there may not be enough time to get it ready.
@@Neoxon619 I don't know about that, I'm pretty sure I've seen a few papers about them already having schematics and patents for a portless iPhone for a long while now. Whether or not they will be able to make that change fast enough is a good point though. Maybe I am just being pessimistic given Apple's track record. I honestly do hope they go USB-C worldwide but I can definitely also see them doing it only in the EU and leave other regions out.
@@ProXcaliber Either way, iPhones going completely wireless won’t be allowed by the EU. Apple could try to make the iPhone thin enough to qualify for an exception, but we all know how going too thin turned out for the iPhone 6.
I'm glad something is being done about the lightning cable. Every one I've ever bought has been junk. USB C is better in every single way, I have type C cables 5 years old that are still working like brand new, meanwhile the Lightning cable I bought last month is already kinked.
Same. I don’t think I’ve had a lightning cable last longer than 6 to 12 months before it stopped working.
I’ve had lighting cables for years and still work like new, don’t know what you people do to your cables… maybe buy legit instead of 3rd party
@@paradiseb5950 Doesn’t matter. The official ones last just as long. I don’t do anything with them beyond use them normally.

How stupid are you, what lightning issues u have, bad junk you bought? USB cheap on iPhone?
You forgot wireless charging?

When it comes to ads in games Ubisoft have done this on a game called track mania 2020 but you can turn it off for free and its just billboards on the back of the map
Definitely got mixed feelings over the usb c iPhone stuff. Apple certainly should have switched to usb c years ago, but I’m personally not a fan of governments forcing companies to comply (most of the time).
that's probably because of ideology and that you're probably blissfully unaware of how often it has been and still is required just to get companies to behave. Companies do not and will not police themselves, self-regulation is a joke, governments must therefore intervene for the public good. That's literally government's job. Plus, there's a need for aggressive pro-sumer policies, right to repair, eco-responsible legislation across the board
@@electrosyzygy In my personal opinion the only job of the government is to protect our fundamental rights, and which port a electronic device uses doesn’t fall within those rights. But I also understand that not everyone shares my opinion so I’ll voice my personal opinion but I try to avoid being an argumentative ass towards others who disagree.
@MenacingDonutz I mean your opinion is hardly 'personal'. What's a (public) opinion for if not to be debated? Especially when firmly in the realm of ideology/belief? You admit as much as believing in a very reductive role for government. Why not see this pragmatically? This is a win for everyone except Apple and sends a message that in the future companies will need to cut down on needless bullshit and at least some dubious business practices.
You're right about one thing though, when it comes to beliefs I'm guilty as charged and can be an ass when pointing out the obvious. G'day!
@@menacingdonutz Healthcare is a fundamental human right yet the US government never protected it.
The government is elected by the people and it's the only want to hold companies accountable. Companies aren't exactly democratic structures.
I am looking so forward to the USB-C iPhones, so much so that I would try to order an iPhone-C from Europe if it came to it.
(Please don’t let it come to it 🥺)
Honestly knowing Apple it wouldn't even be a surprise if they release an Iphone with a type-C in europe and then keep selling the lightning version everywhere else.
@@gregbarnes4083 I really hope not, but at the same time… it’s hope. My main hope is that Apple sees the writing on the wall, sees that this will be too expensive to create two different skews of a whole lineup of products and just throw in the lightning based towel and just make everything USB-C.
Alas… a man can dream about only carrying 1 cable (+a backup for multiple devices at once).
One can dream, it just depends on whether the cost of parallel skews would be worth the profits of keeping their lightning "made for iphone" sales
Only time will tell at this point. So time to wait out the clock for the first iPhone reveal event where this is in full effect.
Dream scenario: apple bites the bullet and releases the new one next year as a “get ahead of the curve” move
Worst case: I’m making friends in the UK
Apple: Removes the relevant LTE / NR bands from the EU model or introduces some other region lock on the USB-C models😂
honestly the use of ads on ingame billboards would be better than in menus or inventory screens
IRL adds inside games (like you mentioned with cyberpunk) would be pretty cool, somehow make it more immersive if done right!
To be fair, in games where there are random fake billboards just for the sake of having them (i.e. when recreating a real city and having to fill out the billboards) I would be fine with having real brands displayed as an ad.
In games where fake billboards are used for jokes or storytelling it would be weird to have actual brands.
I think Apple would rather remove the charging port entirely, than replacing lightning with usb-c
i like how you’re commenting this as if you came up with that take
Why’s that? Do you enjoy the constant disconnect and reconnect of the crappy connector if there’s the slightest tug m any direction? Or is it the needing to replace it every 6 months because it goes bad? Pull your head out of apples arse.
3:45 I choked on my food there.
honestly I would be fine with in game world ads. The main annouyance of ads is the fact that they break imersion of whatever game you are playing or cut in while you are playing. this gets arround that problem.
Apple literally makes $2 for every single item sold with a lightning connector, no way they give up that cash cow without a fight
USB Type C should be standard everywhere
For most things yes, except specializing connection that is faster .... thunderbolt is better for external eGPU for example as it has a faster transfer speed. Unless USB-C gets to the same speed or better.
@@GothicDragonX USB 4.0 is just as fast as thunderbolt.
@@saulodetarsosobral2199 awesome
0:52 "this port 's just for fun 😏"
I see the Lighting to USB-C dongle coming 😂
odd time for you to be up!
is tesla gonna change its charger port to usb c? 👁️👄👁️
Bruh
Even at 240w power, it would take 12 days to carve a Tesla Model 3
That’s 28 miles a day
the only place ill allow ads is in Eurotruck and american truck simulator cuz it would make it more realistic to use that as banner art ads on the side of trailers
cs1.6 had ads inside the maps, call of duty had ads for the next game in the menu
They should ban wifi charging if they really care about conserving energy
Now Europe needs to make Apple bring back the headphone jack!
I'd rather have that than the USB C port!
You mean everyone right? Al the manufacturers got rid of it
Sony smartphones still has headphones jack if i recall correctly and a lot of chinese smartphones still do.
But when is the EU going to stop this law? USB-C isn’t going to be around forever…
@@WalterMan They'll probably ammend it eventually to be for whatever power and data standard takes prominance with each USB generation.
Ads in racing games or anything set in the present or future are fine to me as long as they take the form of something like sponsor banners or billboards and are overall fitting well into the immersion. How ads would be immersively implemented in a game like the elder scrolls I can’t imagine though
I kinda dont mind if there are ads in the game world in free to play games, if its fitting. If you in a city and theres some billboard ads for a new game or Coke or something, thats kinda neat
I remember reading a great article about the phoenix Apu's. The title of the article was that the phoenix apus were stronger than a PS5. When you actually enter the article they say how it's comparable to a PS5 and stronger than a series S.
For reference The Series S 4 teraflops, the ps5 is about 10.3 and the Series X is 12. Now this gpu was rumoured to be 6 TFLOPs which yes is bigger than 4. What about that gpu being comparable to a PS5 well 6 is basically 7, 7 ate 9 and we all know all the tech companies skipped 9 and went straight to 10 so you see how this logic makes sense.
I wonder how long until they actually do it.
Honestly when ads are well integrated like in Trackmania (where you can disable them with the paid version too), it's fine. But I doubt EA would make ads that don't disrupt the playing experience. It definitely will.
4:05 that would be so cool
I prefer Lighting cable connector because it connects better. I’ve used both and it is easier. But if I had to move to C I’m okay with it.
Lightning is a more durable design indeed, but it's painfully slow. And I hate the fact that I can't connet OTG connectors and thumb drives.
They should have chosen a format that isn't fragmented to the moon and back when it comes to power handling and only a 10,000 insertion lifetime rating.
They are more focused on the formfactor than specific revisions.
@@redfish3858 Let me translate that: it fits but it might not work and might light on fire. So literally the opposite of standardizing.
@@redfish3858 USB-C standards cover everything from USB 2.0 to thunderbolt 4.
Not to mention all the untested unregulated cables out there that will cause damage to devices.
Also the form factor it self is less reliable and easier to break than lightening.
The 10,000 insertions is a minimum, and is exactly the same as the Lightning plug's rating. Do you know of any similar-sized plugs with a higher insertion rating? And USB-C *does* have a standard for power handling. This isn't 10 years ago when USB-C just came out, you aren't gonna have devices catching fire on being plugged in. And if you did go the route of creating a new format, wouldn't that just cause further fragmentation right now rather than fix the issue?
Yeah, the USB standards since 3.1 are respectfully, a complete mess
USB C is good enough, but i help but think there is a better option that is not so needlessly complex just to charge the thing
0:44 Magsafe already uses standardized wireless charging standards. You can charge any phone or device that support Qi charging with it.
5:37 I'm sorry for your loss Mark! 🙁
