Trust my rage
I don't think so. My name is spelled wrong and I haven't signed up for anything today. I've just been thinking about that guy whose Mac and iPhone were wiped.

Then yeah, I'd probably tell Google no.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OK, so I fixed the problem with my Apple TV. Which turns out to just have been a problem with my TV TV.
When I set up the TV three years ago, there was no grounded outlet by the TV so I just used a regular outlet instead. So now I tried plugging my TV into a grounded outlet via extension cord. Problem solved.
What made me think of that was how the Apple TV would make this popping static even with nothing playing. The popping reminded me of static electricity, which made me remember the TV wasn't grounded.
So now I'm playing "Stop Me If You've Heard This One Before" by the Smiths on my iPhone through my TV and stereo without any visible connection from my iPhone.
Technology--sometimes it works!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Always pick digital.

I'm trying to connect the mini (late 2009-model A12843-emc 2336 to this monitor Dell monitor.
This apple adapter accepts 24 pins but the monitor dvi plug only uses 18 of them, in the same configuration. Does that mean they are not compatible?

Ack. Never mind.
I spent ages on the phone with the Apple store and their conclusion was exactly what I hoped not to hear...go to a brick and mortar store.
It's not a huge hardship, but without a care, it's a trek.
