Well, they did get them to switch to USB-C, so I’m not holding my breath, but I do hope that this will lead to more interoperability. I’m tired of Apple making Android/non-Apple users feel like second-class citizens.

You can use plastic sleeve covers, just nothing permanent like laminate. You can’t scan it with laminate.

I remember that, Nexon?

I haven’t - thanks for the tip! I’ve mostly been running Kubuntu vanilla, aside from changing some DNS configs.

Neat, I will have to check that out! I’m guessing you can’t enable it on locked down work devices, however.

Hm, very curious.

Hell yeah, bell hooks! Spot on recommendation.

That is a fantastic cover!
