iPhone use their lighting connection to charge rather then universal connection. And confusingly, you can get a usb-c to lightening cable - the usb going into the wall/transformer end.
You might be aware of all of that. Just checking in case you just grabbed a usb-c cable. And of the cheap iPhone cables I’ve had worked without issue - initially at least.

As an example, I'm sure you are aware that people don't tell friends that are pregnant until first scan/3 months/12 weeks. Ask yourself why.

Yes. Definitely not taboo. In fact a lot of people seem quite willing to share and discuss the pain around the circumstances. I remember reading an academic article by a colleague and friend who I had lost touch with and she described having a miscarriage at a conference and her devastated feelings around it. Deeply moving, and great that it is indeed no longer taboo. - but also it is definitely a highly sensitive topic."We're not f*cking Burundi" - Big Phil

Question . The job is selling off old laptops to staff for 100 quid. Some are 6/7 years old but work ok. I was going to but one as a pressie for a teenager relative. I know the components wear out but how long would you get from one of these? Refurbished.
Dell Latitude E7240
Processor : Intel Core i7-4600U vPro
Memory : 4Gb DDR3 ( MT4KTF25664HZ )
Hard Drive : 128GB SSD ( SH920 mSata )

My latest song is out today. It's very acoustic, so it might suit people here a bit more than normal! https://open.spotify.com/track/65WcIfBym46XQ72EYf1IOm?si=de31f6424daa40c6

Far cheaper than most availability in Dublin yet still 3x the price of anywhere on mainland Europe. Gouge the tourists for all they're worth.Last edited by Dice75; 21-10-21, 18:02.

I'll side with the actual law-talking guy on this one."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."
