That’s true. Data transmission is usually measured in bits, not bytes. Gigabit Ethernet can only transmit a maximum of ~128 MB/s.
I think you mean gigabytes, not gigabits.
8 Gb = 1 GB
It is grammatically correct, just semantically ambiguous. Buffalo is a proper noun, a noun, and a verb.
A semantically equivalent form preserving the original word order is: “Buffalonian bison that other Buffalonian bison bully also bully Buffalonian bison.”
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.
“Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo” is a grammatically correct sentence in English that is often presented as an example of how homonyms and homophones can be used to create complicated linguistic constructs through lexical ambiguity. It has been discussed in literature in various forms since 1967, when it appeared in Dmitri Borgmann’s Beyond Language: Adventures in Word and Thought.

No problem! I’m a big fan.
It’s incredible. The guy must’ve been a hell of a lot of fun.

It works great on iPad, but it doesn’t store and organize.

I’m a big fan of Affinity Photo and Illustrator. I switched when Adobe went to the subscription model. It’s very similar, and they have full tutorials on Vimeo for anything that works differently. It’s definitely worth the $20.
Totally. I went to Affinity when Adobe went subscription.
Just wanted to share TOS;DR. It’s a really handy free site for translating TOS and EULA.
You don’t need to scrutinize it. Here it is in plain English.
It was probably an article about a store that had an internal theft problem. It’s not entirely uncommon, but it’s very far from the standard. I used to work for Apple. Employees get a substantial annual discount on iPhone. There’s really no incentive to steal, let alone older generation iPhones.
Apple sends the newer, resalable iPhones that are traded-in to a third-party company for resale. The ones that aren’t worth repairing are recycled.
The year they began the trade-in and recycling process, they recovered over one ton of gold, 23 million pounds of steel, 13 million pounds of plastic, 12 million pounds of glass, 4.5 million pounds of aluminum, 3 million pounds of copper, and 6,600 pounds of silver.

The grade is the most important quality in recycling metals. They’d much rather reclaim their own grades of metal than have to mine and manufacture. It’s better for the planet, ease of manufacture, as well as profits.
Sorry about that. I thought of it right after. I was hoping to get it in there before you read it.
That’s a good move for the planet. Apple is very good about recycling materials for reuse, but there’s still energy consumption and some material loss in the process. The longer you can use tech the better it is for everyone.
Agreed. I have nothing bad to say about Android other than it’s not for everybody. With great power comes great responsibility, and not everyone wants or needs full control of their daily driver. Personally, I prefer the mindless security over full customization on my phone. It’s like trading admin privileges for user.
Welcome to saying anything positive about Apple outside of an Apple community. PC/Android users like to downvote and condescendingly comment on anything positive about Apple, even when it’s the topic of the post. Notice how the top comments are always useless contributions about hating Apple? I think it makes them feel superior since they’re not dominating in market share. Lol
Also, you can get the XR battery replaced for $89 if you want it up and running again.
