Lightning and USB-C cables AppleInsider may earn an affiliate commission on purchases made through links on our site. Apple, an early adopter of USB-A and USB-C connectors, will likely be forced to phase out Lightning over the next two years. Here's why, and what's likely to happen along the way. For decades, Apple has adopted either niche connectors, or gone its own way with a cable that only it uses. But, it has just as often adopted connectors invented elsewhere. We're coming up perhaps the largest cable shift Apple has ever made. Soon, Apple will shift away from its own Lightning because the EU says it must, to the USB-C standard it helped design. What will this mean for the popular, but increasingly dated, Lightning connector? The Past Lightning was introduce...

MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) - We saw tornadic activity on both sides of the bay -- a good bit of it playing out during our live team coverage. Here's a look at some of the damage. "The rain just ceased -- you didn't hear it anymore and it sounded like a freight train. You could feel the pressure in your body -- it just felt really weird -- my ears popped," recalled Bill Boren, lives in West Mobile. That was enough for Boren to get his family in their safe place. "I had just enough time to grab the kids throw them in the closet with the wife and go grab a flashlight and pretty much that was it," said Boren. Boren lives in West Mobile on Dawes Creek -- and while his property damage is minor - his neighbor took a hit. "The fence. That's the first thing I noticed was down. Then we noticed the trampoline -- because we heard something hit the house and we think it bounced off the houses. And then it landed on unfortunately my neighbors right here," said Bore...

We receive a lot of enquiries why we don't move our climate site away from Logan Airport given it is perceived to be unrepresentative of Boston. Here's a thread on why it's not that easy from a bureaucratic standpoint or even climatologically desirable to move it The primary purpose of the Automated Surface Observing Systems (ASOS) is to support Aviation and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has the full say on the contract observer. The ASOS itself would only be moved ever if the FAA or Airport Authority needed it it moved. The Logan site is not alone at being unrepresentative of the city is associated with. Cincinnati & Pittsburgh are two others with airports well outside city limits. Also, if we create a new site, it takes 30 years for new climate normals to become official.

Mark Zuckerberg speaks during a virtual Meta Connect event in New York on October 11. Michael Nagle/Bloomberg/Getty Images Facebook/Instragram/WhatsApp owner Meta Platforms (META) is hurting right now. Growth has stagnated. Users and advertisers aren't particularly happy. The company's push into the metaverse, i.e. virtual/augmented reality, has turned out to be a money pit. Meta's Reality Labs division lost a staggering $3.7 billion in the third quarter and has generated red ink totaling $9.4 billion so far this year. And it's going to get worse! "We do anticipate that Reality Labs operating losses in 2023 will grow significantly year-over-year," Meta said in its earnings release. But if investors are expecting Meta to make any major strategic shifts, they may be deluding themselves. That's because Me...

Geo Entertainment's drama 'Fitoor' was a big hit due to its high-budget production and talented star cast. But other than that, it also gathered huge criticism for its portrayal of toxic relationships, glorifying men who have questionable characteristics and ridiculing women just because they have a past relationship before marriage. 'Fitoor' also trivialised important issues like parenting and sensationalised extra-marital affairs and infidelity. Directed by Sirajul Haq of 'Raaz-e-Ulfat' and 'Noor-e-Zindagi' and written by Zanjabeel Asim Shah of ' Balaa ' and ' Bashar Momin '. The last episode of the drama aired recently and many people are still not satisfied by the misogynistic narrative that it provides. The Problematic Story 'Fitoor' revolves around Dilnasheen played by Hiba Bukhari, a young school-going girl, who has an emotional affection for her friend's brother Hamza, played by Wahaj Ali. He is rich, good-loo...

Photo from Instagram/@derrickmonasterio, "Return to Paradise" star Elle Villanueva says nothing romantic is going on with co-star Derrick Monasterio, and that they are just really very close.

The USB flash drive is helpful for those who need a place to keep their data and the ability to retrieve it quickly and easily even when they don't have access to the internet.

Flash drive vs thumb drive USB flash drives are a convenient alternative to traditional hard drives because of their portability and lack of moving parts. The standard interface between these and personal computers, USB A and USB C, is built in. To a large extent, you can write over them. It is also known as a USB drive or a solid-state drive (SSD). You can take them everywhere because of how compact and sturdy they are. A thumb drive is a compact data storage device that stores information using flash memory chips.
