this has got to be my new favourite unhinged connector, it's both lightning *and* micro-USB!

@niclas seems to be a reasonable lightning connector, less good at micro-USB?which is fine for me given I rarely need micro-USB for more than a few minutes outside of the house (where I use proper cables)

@Scarlet why would ANYONE want #AppleLightning?I can understand #MicroUSB even tho #USBc is the electromechanically superior connector but why Lightning?!?

@tay @kkarhan @Scarlet yep it’s definitely a good easy to use charger and I have some docks and cables that are nearly a decade old ; if you don’t treat them bad they treat you well too! If the (next) phone gets usbc I won’t complain or if it keeps lightning for longer ; nbd.

@Stirlo @tay @Scarlet Well, I find this interesting because people have an escalating commitment to proprietary #SingleVendor / #SingleProvider standards.And no, #Lightning is an inferior connector by number of cycles and mechanical stability as well as strain relief. Even cmpared to #MicroUSB and espechally #USBc. It's a Symbol of #Apple's Assholeism and refusal to comply with binding Standards from regulators like @EU_Commission ...

@kkarhan @tay @Scarlet @EU_Commission a lot of my more security minded friends block or seal the port off completely or disable the pins;Depending where you live or work - visit it can be better to not have any way for easy physical access. MagSafe / Qi for charging and keep it off SMS and local cell and other networks with a good, non free or Self Setup VPN Any physical port is convenient—and non secure. Liability. I’m not blocking mine but I wouldn’t ever use public charging points without the data “condom” or do a small operation to disable data over the lightning port.

@Stirlo @tay @Scarlet @EU_Commission Espechally since it's not like the original #DockConnector a "necessary evil" due to lack of alternatives which - like proprietary laptop docking stations - simply fanned-out internal ports and several interfaces...#MHL on #MicroUSB was long specified before #Apple switched to #Lightning and unlike #USBc, Lightning hasn't even a very high cycle rate of (dis-)connections.

@thatguyoverthere @Stirlo @Scarlet @EU_Commission @tay People who plug shit into that should not even be allowed to use a lightswitch unattended.

@kkarhan @Stirlo @Scarlet @EU_Commission @tay I wonder if it's like a trust fall. Prove you trust the government enough to plug your phone into our charger. We promise not to do anything nefarious :winking_face:

@thatguyoverthere @Stirlo @Scarlet @EU_Commission @tay Trust must be earned and since the #NSA continues with #PRISM they must be dealt with like any state-sponsored malicious actor.
