Well in this case I meant closer to a hub, but something that converts the USB-C ports on the mac to other ports, including USB-A for the flash drive.
I left that at home, so I was unable to plug the flash drive in.
Dongle itself is a kinda broad catch-all term https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dongle
Yes, which is a big part of why, despite allowing transfers, it still sucks.
I took my macbook on holiday along with a bunch of movies to watch on USB stick.
Didn't take my dongle. Couldn't watch any movies.
Me neither. It's basically a download game but with physical DRM in the form of a cartridge. The age of genuine physical game ownership is toast.
Nintendo's site says the cartridge must always be inserted in order to play the game, and so it is the cartridge that controls the game license.
On that basis it seems likely you could sell/give the cartridge to someone else, after which they can play it and you no longer can - they'd just also have to download it first.
This is mostly the fault of what people search for.
90% of your average buyers don't go on shopping sites and search "20W USB-C PD Charger" they go on and search "Samsung S22 charger" or whatever they've got.
Sellers are incentivised to design the listings around that, or they simply won't get the clicks.
Sometimes it is desperate people who fall for scams, sometimes it's not.
Or, if there is desparation then it's not always financial desperation. It may be loneliness and the desire for some connection, as exploited by all those "pig butchering" romance scams.
There's no simple solution to stop people getting scammed, because scammers and swindlers are a 'profession' as old as society itself, and they'll never find any shortage of takers.
Didn't ingest any, but it's still there somehow
The only way this will ever stop is if people stop falling for scams, and there's no money in it.
Which doesn't seem likely.
I mean, the title of the post beat you both...
Seabrook crisps immediately take me back to playing on the swings and slides in a pub beer garden on a warm summer afternoon
Yep, that's specifically the meaning :)
Golden = Made of gold
Gilded = Covered in a thin layer of gold
The gold and the thin layer was the 1%-ers, with rampant corruption and harsh conditions for everyone else.
