Finally received my ZX Spectrum Next.
The "tape cutting error" on the shipping box is a cute touch.

Looking up "magsafe 2023 pinout" shows that there simply aren't pins for data.
I also tested with a dock to confirm, and only power was transmitted over magsafe.
Kind of unfortunate, IMHO. Most of the time my MBP is charging, it's from a dock on my desk (that also connects to ethernet and a monitor). So as a result, I pretty much never use the magsafe port, and the magsafe cable is in my tub of USB cables.
It turned out that what had happened here was that I'd set that address as an alternate login for my Google account. That's what told Gmail to use that account's profile image.
I removed it from the list of logins for the account, and this had the unfortunate side-effect of also making Gmail treat any emails from that address as spam.
Why is nvm a shell function and not a shell script?
Cons:
- can't easily run it from other scripts
- its install is more complicated (need to modify shell startup to source it rather than just placing it in $PATH)
- because of the previous point, every time I open a shell it has to source a 4387 line script that I rarely ever actually need
Pros:
