Pocket lint + port with no cover = clogged ports that chargers can’t plug into all the way. It’s very common.

I almost completely ruined the charge port on my last phone by digging out lint and scratching the contacts. I don’t use cases without port covers anymore.

I usually tend to see that 2019 was the best year in recent memory for many people online in general (lockdowns marked the start of “worse times”). Not to say that no one would have a reason to hate that year though.

4.7 million sounds like a typo honestly. 47 million would make more sense considering that many people need their own PC to do freelance work.

I’m doubting that many people will suddenly see the benefits of PCs over phones and tablets in order for these numbers to blow up, but I could be wrong. It seems that mobile devices fill that need for most people and it’s been that way for a while. Given the tariffs though, it may be a comparatively better time to get a PC for gaming than an Xbox or PS and that could bring the numbers up.

Maybe you’re technically and logically correct (I don’t know enough to say) but they could and would still arrest them regardless and there’s not much that can be done about that. A private citizen that’s stateless is de-facto defenseless against the government while a diplomat is backed by an entire government.

The UN is supposed to help prevent citizens from being rendered stateless as well, but it happens in smaller countries regardless. If the US does it, unfortunately I don’t see the UN doing enough to stop it.

Lol I remember eMachines. Integrated graphics on a desktop tower and the thing sounded like a leafblower under load. Also I believe it wouldn’t support a dedicated GPU either.
