I have no doubt it's because of the cost.

You can get these connectors for less than 1€.
If you order directly from China I'm sure they'll be even cheaper.

And no one should be buying slow cables that they're likely to trash anyway once they figure out their limitations...

This is just some marketing bullshit.
There is nothing I can see about these cables that's in any way more repairable than any other cheap USB cable.

They are also USB 2.0 without an e-marker chip, so their claims about "high speed" data transfer and "100W" charging speeds are dubious at best.

I'd think Trump and friends interfering in European politics and making shitty deals on behalf of Ukraine is pretty directly linked.

It seems pretty easy to break, unfortunately.

Or it just time outs on longer articles.

What a weird article.

The guy basically did a bunch of extreme sports, abandoned the entire idea after literally first relatively minor injury, and decided to announce it to the world?

I really don't get what this article is trying to say.
Extreme sports are dangerous, who knew?

I try not to follow US politics too closely, so... yes, a little, every time shit like this makes it to world news.

Did this muppet really say he thinks VAT is a tariff?

Can't make this shit up!

I mean, maybe it is, but if so then it's way above my level. :D

I'm not a native speaker either, but I see maybe one minor mistake. I think that person is overreacting, or maybe just doesn't actually know English grammar that well.

It'd be funny if the other companies caught in the crossfire now sued those LaLiga assholes for blocking their services.

How about both?

I'd expect the design to take into account this kind of issue, they're only one of the most valuable companies in the world, surely they can afford some QA.
