Both ends of a USB cable are generally male (unless you’re talking about an extender). Generally the type B end (in mini, micro, or full configuration) would be the client though I have seen a couple of clients use Mini or Micro A.

Counterpoint.
Because schools cannot forcibly out students to their parents SpaceX is now incapable of working there? Seems like there’s something else going on.
That’s a contributing factor to battery life remaining stagnant. Manufacturers use those advances while continuing to slim phones rather than making an actually flat brick that uses those advances to drastically increase battery life. Regardless of the energy needs of the phone manufacturers can use the difference in height between the back of a phone and the camera bump to include more battery capacity and it will increase both the daily and usable life of the phone.
So let’s keep making phones thinner and thinner while simultaneously growing the camera bump instead of making a flat profile with, say, 2 days of life!
Grab 5 of the top engineers, sales people, and marketing at the company, double their pay, and grant them a $1,000,000,000 bonus in 5 years time if they beat certain performance metrics. Have them sit on a board as coCEOs and watch true motivation. Kick out the guy that’s demanding 3 times your annual income as “motivational” compensation.
The exact same way the government pays for anything else, be it subsidies to artificially lower the cost of corn or milk, more equipment that the US military has asked Congress to stop buying, forever wars over oil procurement, world class unlimited healthcare for politicians, subsidies to the ultra wealthy and corporations by way of waiving their tax liability, bloated contracts for projects that still end up exceeding their budgets, increased pay for members of the military who quit with the goal of immediately getting rehired as a civilian contractor doing the same job for more pay, roads, teachers, conservation efforts, airport security, border security, disease research, energy research and nuclear materials transportation, space research, etc.
Taxes
You’re gonna pay taxes regardless. The government uses that to pay for so much stuff–some shit, others useful. Wouldn’t it be nice if we diverted some of the shit spending to nice spending?
Edit: I realize this comment is US centric, and this ain’t exactly the right community for it, but we have the same problems in the States and the same oft-repeated ill-conceived retorts about paying for stuff. My final point remains true. You’ll still pay taxes, why don’t you prefer they go to good things?
Deleting my grub config instead of editing it. Fortunately that’s pretty easy to recover from, just annoying.
F’ed up installing graphics driver and had to reset everything from another TTY, also just annoying.
Chose the wrong permissions or path on a chmod call and locked out a big party of the system. I think that was during a setup though, so I just started from scratch again.
I used Ubuntu until PAE became required and then switched to either Puppy or DSL (tried them both, honestly don’t remember which I stuck with). Eventually got a new computer and used Fedora and Arch (btw) for years. I’ve recently switched to Debian on a machine I just don’t wanna be arsed with worrying about breaking.
Though I haven’t tried it, Yumi might be what you’re looking for.
They also fuck up because they aren’t designed and implemented properly.
I’d like to:
Instead what often happens:
I’m glad that you’ve consistently had a good experience with them, but I have not. While each of our experiences are anecdotal, the machines’ failure to routinely accommodate my expected use case is an engineering failure. I am a software engineer by trade and know how to interact with computers well. While we have a running joke about customers not reading what’s on their screen that’s no excuse to design an interface that cannot properly react to unexpected or unusual inputs or tasks.
Self checkouts don’t work the same across stores, don’t accept the same methods of payment across stores, require human intervention the moment anything off the happy path occurs (like not moving an item fast enough and it scans twice), provide constant interruptions during the execution of their single purpose, and are unfathomably slow and inconsistent at what they do.
They just don’t work well.
I’ve been following Relativty for a bit now. It might be up your alley.
Incidentally you’re one of the reasons the majority of workers don’t want to return to the office.
I have a tablet running fedora with gnome. While it works for me I cannot recommend it at all for something I’d give to someone else.
On the surface gnome looks useable as a mobile DE, but the reality is that it requires several gnome extensions to get it in a useable state (I’m talking having a reliable way to copy and paste). Those extensions are not necessarily updated at the same cadence as gnome or fedora so my ability to consistently use the device in a predictable manner is gone if I install the latest updates when available (and after years of training users to install updates when available someone you give the tablet too will click the update pop-up).
Regarding drivers, the only thing that doesn’t work on mine is the camera. I’d recommend trying out a few choices on a live boot and seeing just how much effort you have to make it useable.
Maybe if they reintroduced hangouts and let me:
I’d be tempted to use them again. It amazes me that they made an app that encompassed basically every modern form of individual communication laid out in a clear understandable manner and they just thought it would be better if every feature they offered were it’s own app. Now I have to remember which medium I used to talk with somebody and use an app with fewer features.
I miss hangouts.
It was a lot easier to pretend to be a good person when every moral failure you make wasn’t broadcast around the world the moment it was discovered. Case and point, look into Bill Gates more. He wasn’t always a respectful guy, got caught up in the whole “filthy communists” schtick when the government was investigating his company, advocates for more restrictive control of aid distribution favoring manufacturers more than those he’s trying to help, conflicts of interest in his charity, opposing twitters ban of Trump after the insurrection, etc.
