Yeah probably, but Nvidia can afford lawyers and delays for years. Much longer than any oss group could afford

Unsubbed too. I knew Linus had some management practices I didn't agree with, and he comes across as a bit stubborn a lot of the time, and their click baity thumbnails and titles kinda bugged me, and it seemed like every time I refreshed YouTube there was a new LTT video posted...

Buut, most videos were entertaining and informative so my my rose tinted glasses kept me thinking that SURELY the employees were pretty happy there and were so productive because they enjoyed it that much.

NGL was kinda disappointed to hear all this.

Can't speak for everyone but here are the reasons I prefer an actual jack:

  • 3.5mm headphones are extremely universal and can be used for any audio device. USB-C and Bluetooth headphones cannot

  • Bluetooth is extremely inconsistent when paired with multiple devices and often gets disconnected because of competing devices

  • I can't charge my phone and listen to USB c headphones at the same time

  • Manufacturers claim the removal of the jack was to improve the water resistance. I have never dropped my phone in water and would be willing to risk it.

  • I already have too many wireless things to charge

  • I have a small stockpile of broken wireless headphones. Meanwhile my 10 year old wired headphones are collecting dust

  • I have never lost something more often than that tiny ass USB to 3.5mm dongle adapter

  • I distrust large corporations with incentive to get consumers to buy more stuff from them

Impact can't pay my fucking debt

Hollywood will just do what they always do. Pour billions more into lobbying the government until they pass something that will allow certain exemptions.

So instead of "I read this tweet on Twitter" it's now "I read this X on X"? That is fucking dumb.

Maybe he'll be dumb enough to sell the Twitter domain to pay bills and some rich hero buys it and puts Mastodon there instead

Came here to say this exact thing. Crazy to me how people can use weird ass terms like this and not understand why people are put off

I think most people in theory are against big corporations, but when it comes down to it they just go 'it is what it is' and just accept the big corps without any attempts to break off that path.

My wife is like that and I think it has more to do with not being very tech savvy/or willingness to try something different.

I do post comments here more than reddit. Partly to help keep engagement up, but also because I haven't seen many shitheads trying to make me feel bad.

They want a war, and won't stop until they get to live out their fantasy of being able to use all the guns they love so much.

As much as I hate to admit it, these willfully ignorant racist fucks won't stop until they get another war.

Gets even worse the more years of experience you have. You end up being the solo dev trying to figure out a stupidly over complicated 20 year old piece of software written by a sadist that loves WCF and using tcp sockets to send data between classes in the same project

Now that's some edema right there. There are a lot of medications that can cause excess fluid buildup in extremities so considering his age, its likely medicine. And royal family breeding strategies.

Are you actually able to delete your stuff? I've tried a couple days in a row to delete my posts and comments and they kept coming back. I even tried editing my posts but they just revert back to the original.

Haven't tried in a day or so but I assume reddit is restoring from a backup or something

A Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of 5.2 W/kg technically does exceed limits and device manufacturers agree to meet regulations. However, SAR values are not constant and can vary with real-world usage. Phones often operate at lower power levels, reducing actual SAR exposure.

A weak microwave, for theoretical comparison, would likely put out hundreds of Watts per kg.

People are way more likely to get heat damage from the battery than the radio waves from a cellphone
