Was it a built-in camera cover, or a third-party one? Apple specifically (and possibly other manufacturers?) recommends against third-party covers because the tolerance is so close:
No, it’s a thread about car sales and cybertrucks position in that list.
Also, I’m sure we are all familiar with the value of anecdotal evidence vs data, the response of “I’m a ____ and I don’t _____” is limited at best and meaningless in the aggregate
The value of anecdotal reports that "I experienced ______ failure" is similarly limited at best and meaningless in the aggregate,
but somehow they're taken as gospel.
I live near this roundabout and drive through it almost daily.
> Drivers going northbound on SR 203 traffic may need to yield twice – once when entering the roundabout and again if traffic is passing between the two islands. If you think about it, that’s just following the same rules a second time.
The one key difference from the average (American) roundabout is the second yield. After you've waited your turn and entered the roundabout, you're required to yield again within a few feet. Obviously this is not an impossible task, but the signage leading up to the roundabout from northbound SR 203 doesn't at all indicate the shape of the roundabout. The navigation sign at the entrance only shows a single roundabout.
The second yield point is indicated with the standard yield sign and triangle markings on the road. But judging by the amount of detritus scattered on the ground, as well as the recent addition of "YIELD" text painted on the road and orange flags attached to the yield sign (both not present at any other entrance to the roundabout), the yield-twice pattern is not obvious to everyone.
Plus, the topology of the roundabout isn't conducive to seeing this from the ground, either; the relatively sharp right turn leading into the roundabout places the second yield sign out of your forward vision when you're approaching the roundabout, and the whole intersection itself is very slightly tilted away from the northbound entrance, making it really tricky to see and understand it when approaching.

Anecdotally, almost every time I've driven through here while there is simultaneous traffic from northbound SR 203 and northbound 203rd St. SE, the northbound 203rd St. SE traffic ends up being cut off by drivers failing to yield at the second entrance.
Unfortunately, it's not. Driving from right-to-left (in the first picture) requires drivers to enter the roundabout twice, then leave once. Judging by the amount of vehicle debris generally present and the additional "Yield" markings and signage that have been added to the second yield point since the construction was completed, it's been confusing from the ground as well.
(I agree with you, for what it's worth - Apple is weirdly slow to update some of their products; AirPods Max stand out here as missing USB-C and the lossless audio of AirPods Pro.)
You're right, and it doesn't break compatibility with USB (curse the idea of MFi on PC) which is the important part.
Still, it makes my relatively-new Magic Trackpad 2 feel old and alien. Whatever reason there was for Lightning is lost me when I can't juice my peripherals up with the same cable that charges my Macbook.
Related: the Ariane 5 rocket failed on its maiden flight because it reused code from its predecessor, which made an assumption that didn't apply to the higher-performance Ariane 5.
IIRC it was the higher acceleration value of Ariane5 that the old code wasn't expecting that caused the problem. Some fuzz testing could have worked, I suppose.
1. The module that failed actually was no longer in use for that part of the flight.
2. The acceleration for the part of the flight where it was in use was within the parameters.
3. Instead of just ignoring / clamping the out-of-bounds values, the no-longer-needed module sent a big error dump.
4. That error dump was sent to the next module in-line, which was expecting...I think numbers, but certainly not big textual error dumps. And so that failed as well.
5. I don't know if that second module was needed.
So had the module just (a) processed the incoming data normally or (b) clamped the values silently or (c) dropped the out-of-bounds values silently, the Ariane 5 would not have exploded.
Instead it did the "make it impossible to represent invalid states"-thing and exploded.
While I understand the appeal of that idea, I think it is overrated with any software that has to interact in some way shape or form with the real world, however indirectly. Because programmers tend to have a pretty limited understanding of what states are valid or invalid in the real world.

It has been a while since they've talked about that price, and I would not expect it to be anywhere near that price point today, given <gestures at everything>.
They might jack it up by $10K or so but that still puts it in line with other passenger trucks. An F150 dual cab Lariat starts at $57K. Dual cab Tacomas with four wheel drive run at least $38K, but if you want leather seats and a nicer trim like Teslas come with, that typically runs $48K or more.
There is no chance a cybertruck is going to start at a mere $10k over original base price. My prediction is that it’ll “start at” $70k for the one-motor version, but that won’t be available for over a year. The 2 and 3 motor builds will be prioritized and they will cost $90k+
>There is no chance a cybertruck is going to start at a mere $10k over original base price.
My opinion as well. There's no way Tesla can deliver everything, or at least most of what they promised about the Cybertruck at that price point, considering the manufacturing challenges of that thing.
The Rivian has a 4.5 foot bed[0] and the F-150 Lightning has a 5.5 foot bed[1]. I don't think it's fair to call Cybertruck a novelty item based on its capabilities, especially compared to its competition.
(Of course there are completely legitimate downsides of Cybertruck - for example, with the sloped bed sides, it won't be able to tow a fifth wheel trailer. But that is a capability the vast majority of truck owners don't use.)
