I worry about the durability of USB C ports. I have 4 laptops >5 years old with loose USB C ports, Apple and HP brands, and yes i have cleaned them looking for lint. I don't know if it's these specific laptops or if the port is designed for obsolescence.

A better design for ethernet on thin laptops is a hinge that expands when the cable is plugged in: https://1.img-dpreview.com/files/p/TS560x560~forums/59371721...

To be fair to the parties involved the SF DA at the time refused to prosecute the case, the SFPD stopped the practice pretty much immediately, and the date of California is passing legislation to prevent this. Everyone seems to have acknowledged that this was wrong and have seemed to put in efforts to stop it.

It’s an interesting federal case for how it can impact other states law and raises the awareness of other “rogue” DNA databases that could be misused.

There's also the issue that the more justice-minded SF DA was recently kicked out and an aggressive pro-police DA installed.
