    MagSafe charges super fast

    Magsafe has a 15 watt limit. Compare this to the 12 Watts you could get from an old non-fast charger, and the 45-100 Watts you can get from a modern fast charger. Also factor in that Magsafe is inefficient and creates more waste heat and likely throttles charging as a result.

    Much better than using a port that can wear out over time

    Meanwhile you’re killing the battery with the extra heat.

    Also the lighting port is pretty darn durable, and I’ve had no major issues with USB-C disability either.







    • Best insertion: Displayport Locking
      • Runner-up: Ethernet (RJ45), Apple 30-Pin (Locking)
    • Best removal: Magsafe 3
      • Runner-ups: USB-C, USB-B 3.0
    • Best differential pair connector: Lightning (because it’s so consistent feeling)

    • Best lightbulb base: Bayonet B15s

      • Runner-ups: RCA Composite/Component, DVI, BNC, USB-C
    • Best device-internal connector: JST GH series
      • Runner-up: any miniature mezzanine connector

    • Worst differential connectors: USB micro B 3.0, any ethernet cable with a bubble boot or broken latch, mini-HDMI, micro-HDMI
    • Worst HF connectors: Coaxial, all miniature HF wire to board connectors (holy crap the naming is inconsistent) i.e. UFL, IPEX
    • Worst audio connectors: cheap 3.5mm, spring clip terminal, binding posts (especially plastic knob ones)
    • Worst residential AC plug: Europlug

  • Plex does alright at suggesting music from your own library, and also has some really nice DJ-like song transitions that are legitimately way better than any other track fades. However, Plex users have been frustrated with the company’s slow response to fixing long-standing bugs, and some of the features are paid. It’s also not open-source.

    No idea if it can suggest music that isn’t in your library; I know that they integrate with Tidal though, so maybe if you have that it’ll also suggest stuff from Tidal?
