I would hardly consider "one or two trump supporter in two years" a silo, like how many other people you encountered that were less extremists and more capable of dialogue?

Also, lemmy is not immune to tech propaganda, since it cannot be taken in isolation: people will still (albeit probably less intesively) biased by consuming other media, and being mostly a link aggregator rather than a generator of original content, there will still be some bias from the sources. It's just a place where there's no omnipotent algorithm so the problem is less grave, but still present.

Not hating, I don't know from which year this is from, didn't even know it's a development kit, and although the capabilities I mentioned are recent (and by recent, thunderbolt 4 has been around for at least a couple years, PD 120w for around the same or even more), a single usb-C has been capable of driving a portable device, that needs charging and a display output, from at least 7+ years.

You can call me cynical, but yes, if I see a strange double usb-C port I think it doesn't really make a ton of sense and the first thing I think about is a strange trick to transform a standard technology in something proprietary, especially since nintendo has done the same with the switch 2 by implementing non-standard usb c in their dock.

You can easily download planet.osm, I think it's a couple of TB for the compressed file.

USB 3.2 or 4 allows for a thunderbolt 4 interface, that runs at 40 GB/s (for external gpu cards). Thunderbolt also uses Power Delivery and the latest version allows for a 48V @ 5A profile, that would be 240W. Even previous versions allow for 24V @ 5V (120W).

As for the cable length I wouldn't really know, probably it's possible up to a meter, if the cable is well shielded, the power doesn't change much because the current os always rather low, it's the voltage that increases.

A single usbc can deviler 240W and data at 40 GB/s, what else can it be other than vendor lockin by nintendo?

Can't really advise you on what to do, but here's some conaiderations:

• I still use a 4th gen i7 with 16 GB ddr3 and a gtx970, still going fine in its 10th year. Just recently upgraded to a gtx1060 I found around • 10 years old techbology isn't really any diffetent than today, only slower, but luckily architectural incompatibility is becoming less and less of a problem (except when it's forced upon for no particular reason, see win11) • gpu especially are extremely backward and forward compatible, if you only need more VRAM, you can use a modern gpu with a very old mobo and cpu and chances are you'll be as good, and even if you need to upgradr them later because you are cpu-bottleneck, you can still keep the gpu. I'm guessing in 90% of cases, pci lane speed is relatively unimportant wether it's gen3 or gen5.

Basically, upgradr when you feel you are limited in what you can do, ignore the pressure caused by the generations passing by, as time goes on, I predict we'll need less and less hardware upgrade until a nee revolutionary technology comes about that changes everything.

Didn't know about that formula. Is it used behind the scene but never mentioned, or just used retroactively to explain the difference between the different series?

Isn't this the sequel of the game that sparked the "stop killing videogames initiative?"

In Voyager and TNG it has been established that warp 10 is infinite velocity, that means the warp scale is not linear (the differencr between warp 9 and 8 must be higher than the difference between 8 and 7). After all, Voyager's max speed of 9.975 is faster than Enterprise D's 9.6.

Then again, warp speed has always been quite inconsistent, so who knows which scale they are using...

That's pretty good you get disability for sleep dosorder. Not good that you can't sleep of course, it's good that your problem is getting a recognition.

Not a good choice for a name, at first I though it was just another linux phone that would be useless for 90% of people.

Very cool project instead, hope this can lead the fondation for a 100% open source mobile OS.

I think the most "pirated" software ever would be WinRar. EVERYONE broke the terms of service by using it more than 30 days, and then simply closing the popup when it opened (and even if you found it annoying, there's a simple licence file floating around that you can effortly use to get rid of the nag). Milions used it without paying the licence they should have, but WinRar didn't care, because they are (were) ubiquitous and companies probably happily paid those licences for a software eveybody knew how to use.
