Eh, I waited around quite a while hoping to find something like this but eventually caved. I now have three cables that I plug into my MacBook Pro: MagSafe charger, USB C DisplayPort for 3840x1440 @ 144Hz, and USB C hub for audio / peripherals / storage. This way I can decouple charging from my external display and peripherals, so I am not constantly keeping my battery at 100%.

That hub above I mentioned is a CalDigit Soho, which supports almost everything I wanted: USB C, 90W, DisplayPort and HDMI, type C and A female ports, SD card reader, and detachable USB C cable. The only issue I have right now is the lack of 4K 120Hz…

Alright hear me out. Apple will comply to the letter of the law, but now suddenly iPhone batteries are disposable. Of course only Apple can charge them, and you must buy them in packs.

My company actually partially sponsors an OpenStreetMap mapathon through our volunteering initiative. I’ve probably put in around 3 or 4 hours this year contributing to maps, though specifically developing countries with incomplete mapping and recent natural disasters.

Well behaved for now, but most likely not indefinitely. They’re either trying to steer signups to particular instance(s), or just paving the way for future astroturfing.
