Usually when connectors are designed for power delivery, they'll use bigger contacts to reduce the contact resistance (signal contacts tend to be small so you can fit more of them in the same space). I'm guessing the original DP connector form factor wasn't made with such high power in mind, so it would make a lot of sense to use the spare signal pins for power delivery in this case. Running too much power through too few small pins can damage the contacts, by either by instant-welding the contact surfaces or by overheating the connector (see NVIDIA GPUs) ((also high voltages can cause arcing, which even in the best case will seriously degrade any connector)).

Take all of this with a huge grain of salt cause I just learned this stuff like a month ago, and my department has nothing to do with any of it. Just though someone might find it interesting.

I've never heard of this guy. Thanks for sharing!

Also damn what a stupid name

Hi! I actually work at a major electrical connector company, so maybe I can shed some light on this.

I have no idea.

That's a lot of power! Are there even any devices that use this?

also the B key is curved to match the slope of the edge of the console

This made me laugh really hard

What kind of software would people usually download through the television?

For anyone wondering why they would need to see polarized light: I actually looked into this a few months ago!

Other animals that are trying to blend in with the environment often use countershading appear less conspicuous. The problem with this is that this method can't replicate the polarization of the light behind them, making them stand out if you can see that sort of thing. ((Sunlight in the ocean is always polarized based on the direction of the sun (look up fresnel equations for s and p polarized light))). Even transparent creatures will interrupt the polarization in some way, so this is a very useful skill to have.

.. and also both are a lot more expensive than they were before

I feel like the box being made out of metal was probably more important than the chicken soul, but whatever works I guess

Tech guy invents the concept of giving instructions

The opossum from Over the Hedge (Heather)

I used to not understand them, but learning how their internal mechanism functions has helped a lot. Now I can just visualize what's happening inside the infernal contraption

I actually really like physics, and it's 100% because I'm fucked up and evil

Huh. This was my first time seeing a 95 year old's mutilated penis and scrotum floating in formaldehide. Thanks (?) for sharing

Yep! That was it

Isn't armageddon from Norse mythology? Or am I confused with another thing

Cool. Just gotta return the samples to earth. Should be easy
