  This is a commonly known issue with graphs and one that gets repeated without a lot of consideration for context. While it’s generally a good basic rule to have graphs show the full vertical axis, it’s not like it’s a hard rule that needs to be followed 100% of the time. In this case for example, moving from 99.999% (five nines) to 99% (two nines) is a significant effect, it has importance. Displaying the full axis would make that difference unnoticeable and render the graph useless.

  BTW you can get Garmin to USB-C little adapters, they come in quite handy.

  If you’re a professional travelling with expensive equipment you’ll need a carnet which is precisely the “song and dance”. Basically a list of all the stuff, they look at it and at your stuff when you come in, then again when you come out.

  Except if it’s an empirical “you” and “human” defines the entire human race. I’m pretty sure grammatically speaking this is a valid interpretation, right?

  I thought this wasn’t really a thing anymore with modern white plastic, no? It’ll still get more visibly dirty though.

  Right my phone is just a pocket computer, I only use it as an actual phone when I have no other choice.

  I’ve worked for a brand that sold Europe wide and sorry to say but logistics to sell into Norway were kind of a nightmare. In fact I kind of got a promotion off the back of moving from DDU to DDP for Norway and it took months to get this seemingly simple transition done. Then there was the whole reverse logistics side of it which was even worse. I think the company reverted back to DDU now after I left lol.
