a lot

0.1% up to 2% absolute max?

Some data (250k people installing updates)

won’t pass 25w

Reminded of what looked to be a great deal on USB-C cables from a major manufacturer (Anker I think).

Fine print: not for MacBook Pro yaddayadda! Yeah the things can’t hang for it. Gotta spend way more.

I wonder what the best cable labeling solution is for new cables purchased with known specs. Bet a handful of well-resourced geeks do their own printing right on them.

Terrible news for all my USB-C cables less than 2 & 1/2 inches long!

:) yeah good point & thanks for the pic

Europeans from which country get upset when they hear their fellow countrypeople speak English poorly?

Was it Germans, because there’s compulsory English education in schools?

Can you start breathing deeply and count to ten on your fingers / quietly announce “I’m counting breaths” partway through? Maybe motion for them to join…

Perhaps with friends at least

Music brought a black man and a Klan member together. That kinda thing happened hundreds of times.

It’s too tall an order for almost any mortal. Want to believe it’s true, though, and not impossible.

I can almost taste the six seconds the flavor added to that will last!

Five minutes of microplastics or a blink of flavor? Answer might just be no gum :(

10g more than likely 10k typo (perhaps more brain than body/finger typo, there a word for that?)

Oh, “thinko”

Super simple on iOS—double hyphen!

Ah ‘94-‘96

Users of eWorld were often referred to as "ePeople."

lol

I like that

Never heard of that, a long time ago?

Was gonna cite 85th percentile speed but TIL on drawbacks

These images are mindblowing. Bring me back down to Earth? Do you have a favorite image with reasonable coloring and contrast?

Top tier

Ah there you go!

Fancy dock? (I settle for a little hub)

Wow great point!

btw I’d also thought to mention how I wish it could just be merch or live show tix b/c: did that creator I love REALLY like the new widget that was released or were they financially incentivized?

Which is why I mentioned transparency & labeling. Some will falter and some good people will subconsciously be incentivized, but some will choose sponsors so well they’ll be fine, too.

I’m a Ublock Origin kinda guy, but not a SponsorBlock one

Because gestures at capitalism is the thing for now:

Sponsorships, when transparent and well-chosen and clearly labeled and clever, are less grating and don’t use anti-privacy targeting methods. That’s a path forward I’m pretty much OK with (remember capitalism is the thing, you & I have to eat like the YouTubers?).

My expectation is not “everyone should do everything for free” or “you’re only allowed to sell merch, without ever mentioning it” or “uploaders must have live shows and sell tickets if they ever want a dollar”. It’s “ewww, ads” and the malware that we’re exposed to alongside them.

Meant to make a post about this but your comment triggered it early :)

They splurge on that antiglare? Only thing pretty much on my wish-it-had for my older Apple silicon MBP.

M1 MacBook Pro Max, far beyond adequate for… 99(+)% of the population
