My iPhone 4S went for a swim before phones were generally waterproof and the screen backlight went out and the camera light stayed permanently on. I used the blind assist mode with the phone for a few months and even took photos totally blind. Eventually the backlight came on again and I could use the phone totally normal. Finally killed it falling out of my pocket 150’ up while rock climbing. Great phone though.

You can normalize preferred pronouns by declaring them when you introduce yourself. Eg. I’m Barry and my pronouns are he/him. That’s being a good ally.

If you get someone’s pronoun wrong, it’s no big deal as long as you don’t keep pushing it. They can correct you and you should just use their pronoun after. The most important thing is to use the correct pronoun once told.

You can also ask if a person you have just met has preferred pronouns.

Based on the size of the connector a tear down is going to show a rather complicated board for a “simple” adaptor. Because the Lightning port is designed to be reconfigured on the fly depending on the accessory plugged in and not a single dumb bus protocol like USB2.0 the chip in this cable needs to be able to talk in HDMI and some other standards.

Fun fact: while Lightning was originally designed around being a reversible USB2.0 connector because of the dynamic reconfiguration of the reversible sides at the port it is capable of speaking in native USB3.0 on all of the pre-Usb-C iPad pros.

The price is reasonable for what it is, honestly, but very few people will actually need to buy one.

It’s been amazing to feel like we’re part of something that’s growing so fast. I’ll miss Reddit but I expect Lemmy will fill in the role sooner rather than later.
