Did they play through genocide? If not, then you can play it yourself for an extra bit of content and the banger music it provides.

Might be just your OS language? It's pretty easy to detect with JS and many websites rely on it to supply the most relevant page.

I doubt yt-dlp supports Soundcloud metadata. One possible solution is just running your music through MusicBrainz Picard to restore the metadata.

I'm perfectly aware of what I'm talking about. He lost control of company's shares to government-affilated people and they fired him. What an unpredictable turn of events. I don't really care if it happend due to stupidity or malice, considering the amount of public stunts he pulled off at the time, I doubt you can call his course of action straightforward.

Even when he was fired, they did it with his own resignment notice he submitted as April Fool's joke. The guy is a literal clown, I have no idea why you'd entrust him with your data.

Probably not, if we're speaking about the next adapter in the line. They both use 4 pins, and there are no active conversion in the adapter itself, it just connects the pins like this:

    
USB ↔ PS/2
+5V ↔ +5V
D-  ↔ D
D+  ↔ CLK
GND ↔ GND


  

So, as long as next adapter is not doing something funny with PS/2 signals, it should be ok for bare USB 2.0 connection.

The company's CEO is Pavel Durov, the very clown who built russian alternative to Facebook, VKontakte, and then practically sold it to russian government with all it's users. And russian government, being itself, repressed anyone who liked "wrong" stuff there. So, Durov being no stranger to selling things to governments, in my opinion, deserves zero trust.

RiF.

Could you elaborate?

Ah, sadness...

But behold, cramped area!

You are missing 24 GB for your TB.

Go through the community explorer, subscribe to those you like, use "subscribed" feed.

If there is no encryption involved, you should be able to unpack them with 7zip without any mounting and then convert with ffmpeg to a format of your liking. IIRC, DVDs usually consist of a bunch of VOB files. You can just cat them all together and then send directly to ffmpeg.

Might depend on where you were learning.

On paper, when I was learning Descartes' coordibate system, we used Y as up and X as left-right. And when it was time to plot in 3D, we used Z to "extend" the plane into yourself and away from yourself.

You just hold your sheet of paper perpendicular to the ground (or just use a whiteboard) and it all makes sense.

Sometimes inline stuff is more readable.

Don't worry, I'm quite sure your kind will find something to trip over eventually. No thing can be fully dumb-proof.

You can't fix stupid.

A slight word of correction, looked at the pinning again, it won't short circuit them, but one will try to charge the other. It will still be a fire hazard, just not as violent.

If you have two devices with female USB A ports that both provide power via said ports, connecting them with male-male cable will create a short circut. Best case scenario: a current protecting fuse breaks the circuit. Worst case: both processors on both motherboards are dead. Better not think you can connect two computers with that evil thing. That's why type B connector exists, it's about the same size, but it never connects to a port that provides power.

The point is that manufacturers can screw up standards and being a symmetrical connector does not cure idiocy in the heads if some people. Yes, the standard explicitly says you have to short opposing data lines for 2.0, but that does not mean everybody will comply with it. (The author of the video is not an idiot, they just demonstrated that it's possible)

The most common example of this I can think of right away is male-male connectors with type A USB. They are explicitly prohibited, yet many manufacturers create them and use in their products.

That's why I said that no standard can protect you, you're just relying on people not being dumb and actually reading the paper you published.

Sure.
