Yeah, functionality between these varies, I know some of them can tell you what capabilities the cable’s chip spits out.

An example I randomly picked:

https://www.amazon.de/Messgerät-Strommessgerät-Multimeter-Strommesser-Leistungskapazität/dp/B0DK5GGVLM

These days a ~10€ gadget can tell you about the electricity going through a USB connection and what the cable is capable of. I don’t like the idea of basically requiring this to get that knowledge, but considering the limited space on the USB-C plugs I’m not sure anything is likely to improve about their labeling.

Which is 99% due to you being used to that.

Going by your comments, I think you need to know a few basics before you get into people’s suggestions for actual services. Start with this: more or less, “the cloud” is just someone else’s computer. It’s bigger, the connection is faster, etc., but the services you use most likely run on a Linux computer much like the one you already have.

For experimenting with the topic, it would be good to have another computer that you can mess around with and not worry about having a usable machine. If you can cobble together a desktop from old parts it will be enough to start the learning process.

If engineers were the ones in control that would mean something.

As I see it, phone manufacturers have zero reasons to keep the battery degradation low, but many reasons to push advertised capacity and charging speed. If you were cynical, you could also assume that they’re trying to make sure the battery doesn’t last too long because they want to keep selling new phones.

We wouldn’t be here if they had two brain cells to rub together.

This isn’t for him, it’s for the Crown so they can get some distance. I’d say too little too late, but we will see how the public will react.

When I read this, it seemed like an attempt at a pithy comment that included a logical fallacy but I couldn’t put my finger on it.

It was. But I also think it boils the topic down pretty well. One thing you seemed to have skipped is that there are plenty of circumcised people expressing regret. So the resulting logic table is very straightforward.

People who went through the procedure at a time in life where they can remember both also corroborate this - while it’s generally not the end of the world, nobody wants to be circumcised unless it’s all they’ve known.

Just something he keeps in a jar…

I honestly would be curious to see studies that people thought were trustworthy that showed it one way or another.

You only need to look a one fact: the only people defending the practice are people who it was done to.

Incinerate.

Got any specific videos to recommend?

Using lemmy increases its popularity which in turn leads to more donations or other benefits.

If you can find one.

they’re a shitty corporation just like Nvidia

Neither of them are anyone’s friend, but claiming they’re the same level of nasty is a bit of a stretch.

It’s really annoying when it’s pushed in our faces everywhere. For getting a quick image of something you specify, or help with some boilerplate text it can be pretty neat.

But apparently, using the tools already available to you is not a common skill these days :(

So, are you not understanding that other people work differently, or are you just not using that skill?

Besides offering different approaches for different preferences, there are clear benefits to the extra level of organization. As an additional exercise, try to picture someone using multiple windows and tab groups.

Not everyone operates on the basic level. Hell, why even have tabs? The OS can manage multiple windows, and you can use multiple desktops to achieve the same result without that bloat.

Statement: I see you have purchased me, master. I find this a satisfactory arrangement. Am I to accompany you now? Shall I kill something for you?

HK-47 from Knights Of The Old Republic is probably my favorite source of quotes: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Wookieepedia:Quote_of_the_Day/Archive/HK-47

• I was most proud to have partaken in the political system of the galaxy. During the time [the senator] possessed me, he gained significant rank. Given enough time, I believe he could have become chancellor. I even eliminated a few key opponents that he did not ask for. Freebies, if you will.
• Query: Would you rather be caught with contraband that is very illegal or just a little illegal?
• Droids tend to blend into the background, like a bench or a card table. Mockery: Droid, fetch this. Droid, translate that. Droid, clean out the trash compactor. Part of the love of my function comes when the ‘furnishings’ pull out tibanna-powered rifles and point them at the owners’ heads.
• Observation: I am a droid, master, with programming. Even if I did not enjoy killing, I would have no choice. Thankfully, I enjoy it very much.

That game is such a gold mine.

• Once a man has changed the relationship between himself and his environment, he cannot return to the blissful ignorance he left. Motion, of necessity, involves a change in perspective.
• Technological advance is an inherently iterative process. One does not simply take sand from the beach and produce a Dataprobe. We use crude tools to fashion better tools, and then our better tools to fashion more precise tools, and so on. Each minor refinement is a step in the process, and all of the steps must be taken.
• Einstein would turn over in his grave. Not only does God play dice, the dice are loaded.

A particular one always gives me chills:

• I sit in my cubicle, here on the motherworld. When I die, they will put my body in a box and dispose of it in the cold ground. And in the million ages to come, I will never breathe, or laugh, or twitch again. So won’t you run and play with me here among the teeming mass of humanity? The universe has spared us this moment.
