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.

They dont really believe it, its a lie. They are a liar.

Easy solution, should make everyone happy:

We know the current price of child care at the current rate. We can extrapolate that out for the next 50 years and beyond.

If the price goes above that at time in the next 50-100 years, Western Bulldogs will pay the difference on behalf of parent.

WB is sure it'll lower fees, so its 0 risk to them right?

Mechanical pencils do a better job of both those things.

You're not wrong. As soon as you lose one "round", the entire pencil stops working.

I have trained for this

I have no issue with tinkering, my issue is more when tinkering gets turned around into advice.

I think I would be happier if these communities/subreddits were a bit more explicit about "We are amateurs, for actual advice, go to X, Y, Z".

Do you mean like pickup lines? If so, yeah, I dont think those are necessary anymore. But that said, I haven't dated in years, so what would I know :/

Flirting is how you build connection? Perhaps we have different ideas on what flirting is, but to me, its the things you do to build a connection (talking, joking, hanging out, etc). So if you dont do those things, you'll not build a connection.

Yes, some people absolutely take things way too far, and often unproductively.

Like the person who was trying to disable websockets. Or the people who will shun signal, but jump directly on the flavour of the month signal clone, which might be completely backdoored.

If you dont know what you are doing, randomly turning things on and off at best does nothing, at worst makes you even more signaturable/trackable.

Its good to educate yourself on various protections, but unfortunately, it requires a lot of careful research and understanding.

Not necessarily. Nuclear weapons generally require fairly precise timing in order to go critical and properly explode.

If the timing is off, it'll still spread nuclear material around, but it won't make the large mushroom cloud style explosion.

If they can be hidden, like in Windows, I dont really mind if every app has one. I'll hide the ones I dont care about.

The app dock isnt visible by default, so thats a partitial solution, but I'd prefer to be able to access it directly without opening a menu or overview first.

Steam provides a quick launch menu, thats a good enough reason for me.

Technical issues are worth resolving, but I want the UI to remain the same as the windows one. Its a pattern that works just fine.

Does seem worse IMO. There is nothing wrong with the windows tray, should just copy that and call it done.

Does seem broken for me.

It doesn't, my point is that this isnt anything new, and your take isnt particularly novel or controversial.

Dead internet theory long predates genAI/LLMs.
