  • Come on now, you guys are the real celebrities!

  • Hey, I know her, I'm pretty sure she's in that one movie I watched!

  • Why would he make a social media account under a fake name, instead of using his real name but make everyone think it's an unverified parody account to say whatever he wants and never get suspected?

    It's not that bloody difficult.

  • If there was only some way to make any attempts at building an accurate profile of one's online presence via data scraping completely useless by masking one's own presence within the vast quantity of online data of someone else, let's say for example, a famous public figure.

    But who would do such a thing?

  • If you think Ernest Cline's movie is cringy, wait until you read his poetry. Absolutely one of the worst piece of writing I've ever read.

    And it only gets worse from there.

  • You're right. Those are active cables which I forgot to mention earlier that have special circuits that amplify signals, but are also a lot more expensive as a result.

  • Pssh. Celebrities on social media, who needs them anyway.

  • You could always buy more copies of "Barbie" on Blu-ray for Christmas.

    Just saying.

  • That's esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie to you!

    Also, thank you.

  • If you want a more detailed explanation, USB-C is a small connector that was designed primarily for data transfer, extended power range delivery (240w) was essentially hacked on to the standard. Electricity arcing between the contacts on the connector is the biggest challenge with this hack, since the contacts are small and very close together, which could burn out the circuit board and start fires. For EPR to work safely, there needs to be a lot of extra components on the circuit board/female connector side, which there simply isn't enough space for on an f2m extension cable.

    As for why USB-C cables are so short, it's simply a matter of physics, carrying high speed data over larger distances would result in higher losses and requires thicker conductors and more shielding, which is why you don't see USB4 Gen3 cables over 1 meter unless they are optical, and longer "charging cables" are only rated at USB 2.0 speeds, because more often than not they don't even have the USB 3.x data pins on their connector.

  • I'm more surprised that Advice Animals is still a thing when it's almost 2025.

    (Unlike Barbie, which is a timeless classic.)

  • The obsession with cast iron like it is some kind of magic ritual is honestly really weird. After you cook with it, wash it with water and dry it with some paper towels, that's it, no need to make it more complicated than it really is.

    If things are sticking to your pan, use more oil in your pan; with enough oil, you can cook on a rock and make it nonstick.

  • Again, I bet it's Ryan Gosling who did this.

  • If you're wondering how a browser extension got so much money to pay all these YouTubers for sponsorship, well, they're not. They are literally stealing the money they paid the YouTubers right back from them by replacing their affiliate code with their own.

    For people looking for replacements, Edge's integratedauto coupon code works well enough. RetailMeNot does the same job and has also been around for a long time.

  • Contrary to popular belief, I do have to do work for a living and can't spend all day on social media.

  • Not acting skill, that's for sure.

  • That looks like a badly AI generated image of Steven Seagal that Steven Seagal would use as his profile picture on social media as a bit.

    If he isn't so full of himself.
