I think this is kind of the opposite of what OP was asking about.

What "perks" did people create for themselves?

Yep for sure some states may introduce different laws but it is definitely lower at the federal level.

Yes but the federal minimum wage is lower for tipped staff. In the UK, there is no such distinction.

This is pretty much the same situation as when Apple faced bankruptcy a while back and Microsoft essentially bailed them out.

Having an effective monopoly is better than a literal one for legal reasons

The thing about USB C dongles is that some contain their own DAC and others don't.

The former is already universal so what you're asking for exists but these are generally more expensive and the quality may not be as good as a pass through adapter if your phone has its own built-in.

On a different point about streaming to multiple devices, my phone (Realme) has a feature to use both the jack and Bluetooth headphones simultaneously which is great for the sharing use case without a splitter.

Would be great if it also supported multiple Bluetooth audio simultaneously.

Butts for children?!

I thought they closed that place down!

Isn't it short for "I'm afraid to say"?

As in, it gives me discomfort to tell you.

I think you mean the Windows Linux for Subsystem

That's probably also partially due to how crazy overpriced it is though

Take this with a pinch of salt but what I'm gathering is that it's essentially just taking people's public profiles but the Duolingo api also exposes users' e-mail addresses (and possibly other info) that isn't normally displayed as part of the user's public profile via their app.

In essence, they're exposing more data than they probably should be and users were not really aware that data was being made public - that's why people are upset about it.
