  • On our end (Aus), I'd argue that we were "successful". Outside of a few desperately keeping their culture alive, much of it is dead and gone.

    The really shameful part is that we didn't do it 2 centuries ago, it was 1960's. And given we keep destroying their historical sites to make way for mines, it arguable hasnt entirely stopped.

  • It didn't murder you, but do you keep much of your original culture?

    The whole point of the stolen generation policies were to destroy the aboriginals culture. Its not a genocide in the murder sense, but the end result is the same, the group will no longer functionally exist.

    Edit: to those downvoting DeathByBigSad, please reconsider, they are asking a valid question.

  • I happy to believe that its probably trending down, overall PC shipments have been trending down for a while, but 400m drop over 3 years is a huge amount that just doesnt smell right.

    A lab computer is used by up to N students typically, so by removing it, there is potentially N more devices being purchased by the N students. So that could mean more iPads or Chromebooks, or even more PCs overall.

    And converting a university device to a byod device doesn't necessarily remove a PC either, given the user may purchase a new device for work.

    With any statistics to back it up (which none of us have, especially not the original article) all we have is speculation.

  • Also quite disappointing that no one is questioning, "where did they go". If Chromebooks or Apple picked up a fraction of the "lost" users, they'd be shouting from the rooftops. And a fraction of those users would crush most Linux distros infrastructure, so we'd have heard something.

  • So we’ve established at the onset that Riot-owned broadcast and social channels will stay betting-free, which means no ads, no sponsored segments from betting partners, and no betting partner logos on team jerseys

    Good, as it should be.

    No mention of age controls, and I'm sure it'll be the scummiest of gambling companies (tautology?) that signup for this.

    Riot has a lot of children who play their games, this is a really disappointing decision from them.

  • Weird descriptions is just how Aliexpress is. I think your right, the first one is a bad example, but there are definitely ones that work, I have one at home that explicitly marks the charge side and audio side.

    Never tested it properly though, so YMMV.

    The existence of these adapters does make me beleive that if apple/samsung/etc wanted to, they could trivially include an official one for $10 or so.

  • Really depends on if it has a proper internal USB hub or not.

    And with a non-PD charger its perfectly safe.

    But very good point, that you do need to be careful. Especially with Aliexpress junk.

    Edit: tested mine, which is a Y cord thing, like the first link, and it does not pass more than 5v to the audio side. So it really depends what you get. You can't power it from the audio side either, so there must be some kind of proper isolation.
