Very true, the sword would have to pick a line to cut through the gender triangle.

Was going to suggest the sword might discern sex rather than gender, but we'd have a similar question of how the sword would classify intersex people.

Safety regulations are written in blood. Electrical fires were indeed a problem. It's why there are rules on how many outlets need to be in a room, how spaced out they need to be (to curtail extension cord usage even when the builders are trying to be cheap and stingy with outlets). It's the reason why we have breakers and GCFIs and RCBs and AFCIs. It's the reason why we have electrical certification bodies like UL which won't certify your cable or appliance if the cords are too thin.

There's a lot of smart stuff we do behind the scenes to make dumb cords safe because even smart people make dumb mistakes.

Wifi adds latency. Adding 30-300 ms of latency will noticeably affect your browsing experience.

it's deliberate. Tim Cook and team have essentially said "yeah we know it sucks but we're keeping it this way for business reasons". Can't find a quote but just look at how they treat literally anything non-Apple.
