  • Plug is on the male part on the cable. Receptacle is the female part on the device

  • The "empty" half of the plug (with the two hollow squares) is either at the top or on the right in 99% of cases. Once you realize that you barely ever have to flip it even one time.

  • I think the point is they copyrighted these symbols as part of their branding, just like their logo, so in the context of games and game controllers

  • I never understood the point of lawyers. Their job is to literally throw off the court in the process of determining the truth and choosing punishment for crime. For everyone else this would be another crime called "obstruction of justice", and yet for lawyers it's their actual job that courts allow.

  • Nope, these are bank numerals for banknotes and checks

  • I have a 3.5mm jack in my phone and I haven't used it once for the past two or three years I have used this device. I switched to a pair of tws Bluetooth earbuds in 2019 (around, but definitely pre-covid) and have used the same pair since. Everyone who claims Bluetooth earphones are unrecyclable electric garbage probably have never gotten a proper pair (which doesn't have to be expensive whatsoever) or any at all

  • If I were to only use legal sources of media, then I would stick with either Apple TV or HBO Max (yeah it's still called that where I live). Otherwise I recommend Cloudstream for Android TV

  • Hmm, why need dark mode in VLC? You launch a video file and watch it full screen anyway. Also, VLC has themes and last I checked there were couple of them which were sufficiently dark

  • the idea that the year 2000 is the start of the 21st century is hurting my head.

    That may be because it is not. The first century was years 1 to 100. The second was 101 to 200. The 21st is therefore 2001 to 2100.

    What you're probably referring to is the "cultural century" which was considered to have started when the lead digit changed from 1 to 2. The same thing happened quite recently when some people argued 2020 was the start of a new decade (again, it wasn't)

  • When you consider the time as a number line, years are not points at integers (which would in some way warrant a year 0), but rather periods between them. Year 1 is the period between 0 and 1, and before that was -1 to 0, or year -1. There is no year 0, because there isn't anything between 0 and 0

  • On Play Store it's under a paywall by dev decision (to promote open source portals).

    Isn't it moreso to support the dev easily?

  • There are certain lightweight products which don't require weighting or putting them in the bagging area at all, like spices or bath sponges. These would be perfect for any% speedrun of Groceries since they don't ever require an employee to verify discrepancies

  • And I suppose you can't see how replacing cables is producing e-waste regardless, unlike buying one proper pair of Bluetooth earphones and using it for many, many years without replacing any part of it whatsoever?

  • It's not about how much you spend, but rather what you spend it on

  • I don't know what kind of shit you guys buy, but I have used one single pair of Bluetooth tws earbuds since pre-covid and never looked back to wired which, at least in my experience, are the ones more prone to breaking

    Edit: and it's not like I got Apple airpods or anything, they are haylou gt1 that I paid like 25$ for in 2019 or 18

    Edit2: and yes I do have a micro jack in my phone which I have not used once for the three years I have had this phone
