The Mac mini will be the next Apple device to say goodbye to USB-A, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. Apple customers have probably gotten used to seeing the familiar, rectangular USB-A ports replaced with their thinner USB-C siblings. And while USB-C has its advantages, the transition can sometimes leave users confused and scrambling for adapters. […]

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) acknowledged Sunday that former President Donald Trump was losing to Vice President Kamala Harris in recent polls.
During an interview on ABC, host Jonathan Karl asked Graham how Trump could lose the 2024 election.
"I think the way that they're running the campaign is to draw him into insult debates, get all off script, get off the issues," Graham explained. "Now, in a head-to-head race, Trump is losing slightly, but on the issues, Trump economy plus eight, inflation plus eight, border plus nine."
"My God, that's a blowout," he continued. "Focus on the issues, Mr. President."
Karl pointed out that Trump seemed more interested in insulting Harris than talking about issues.
"And if you look at what the former president has said just in the last week or so about Kamala Harris as he looks ahead to this debate, he has called her, quote, low IQ, dumb, someone who, quote, can't put two sentences together," Karl observed. "Now, those sound a little bit more like schoolyard taunts than the stuff of a presidential campaign, but it's also a strange way to set expectations before a debate."
Graham argued that Harris "has some talent" but had been a "wrecking ball" on foreign policy.
"That's what I would talk about," he insisted. "Not her IQ."
All those still holding the bag on September 20 when Trump can start selling this make-believe stock are going to get crushed. And they deserve it.

The monthslong Trump Media stock slide continued Wednesday, as shares of the company majority-owned by former President Donald Trump fell below $20 for the first time since the Truth Social maker went public more than five months ago.
The stock price of DJT touched a low of $19.38 per share around midday, marking a drop of more than 75% from its intraday high on March 26, the day the company debuted on the Nasdaq stock exchange.
Trump Media ended Wednesday’s trading session down more than 4% at $20.10 per share.
Trump Media has also lost more than half its value since its recent surge on July 15, the first trading day after the Republican presidential nominee narrowly survived an assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania.
Ok, but so what? Why does this even matter? Well, on September 20 Donald Trump gets to cash out with his make-believe stock and take home some very real money. More than $2.2 billion as of last Wednesday's stock price.
