Hello fellow Cyanide and Happiness fans!
About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net) and a an extra or two randoms.
Cyanide & Happiness (C&H) is a webcomic created by Rob DenBleyker, Kris Wilson, Dave McElfatrick and Matt Melvin. The comic has been running since 2005 and is published on the website explosm.net along with animated shorts in the same style. Matt Melvin left C&H in 2014, and several other people have contributed to the comic and to the animated shorts… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_%26_Happiness
Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, media, cool stuff about the authors, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s Cyanide and Happiness related!
Ps. Sub to all my comic strip communities…

Except Apple has already been found guilty of throttling old devices to try to force users to upgrade. They've been doing this for a long time, but they've only been ordered to pay a settlement in recent years for doing it with their iPhones.
But honestly the older Macbook Airs don't need to be throttled, they just need the old universal dongles to crap out, IIRC those things were useless without the dongle to connect all your peripherals .
I really didn’t wanna have a pissing contest but battery throttling was introduced to stop sudden turnoffs on old batteries which people also bitched at Apple about. Putting a new battery in makes things run like new- I did that and my 6yo iPhone and it’s tip top. I use it for drone flights.
Dongles are also not an Apple specific thing, my shit fell from work has this massive fucking dock to turn the power adaptor from dell to usb c and provide Ethernet and old usb ports. If you just use all usb c stuff, dongles aren’t needed right?
You’re just baiting and I’m done talking about it, it’s boring.
Gotta give credit where it's due. Apple the engineering company has really proven themselves, especially these last few years with the M1 and M2 chips. However Apple the brand name company sucks with dumbed down everything, greedy practices, anti-consumer tactics, and a closed economy.
