AI images being able to deceive you isn’t justification, if anything it’s the opposite. The staged furniture is there to help you visualise the size of the room. While AI furniture tricks you while not accurately representing the room size

Are compile times that big of a deal? I haven't used Rust a ton, but the few times I have it seemed like the bulk of the compile time was a one off compiling the crates, and then compiling your own code was super fast. I feel like I&#x

Yes, to the average person grok is known for generating csam, mechahitler, and undressing people for sexual harassment. And to tech people it’s now known for stealing your files.

There's also the issue that most USB cables are cheap junk that either is non compliant, or actively lying about it's capabilities. Which is hard to solve since anyone can sell USB cables without needing to pass testing.

Sort of. USB-C cables have an emarker chip inside them which reports the capabilities of the cable. The USB controller on your laptop reads this chip and makes use of the info, but as of today there is no standardized way for the controller

USB 2.0 cables can be thinner, more flexible, longer, and cheaper. You could decide to only ever use thunderbolt cables for everything, but you'd be paying $40-$100 for a cable as thick as a mains power cord and doesn't offer any

I could understand locking the files. Having this compromised would be devastating and you should have a backup of them elsewhere. But locking the games out is unacceptable since you can not back these up and they are not sensitive data. At

99% of user use cases for USB are charging batteries and copying a word document on a flash drive. For those cases literally every port and cable works. For video, in every office and home, the thunderbolt cable just sits in the monitor at

The cable will not just fall out. On my clean iphone I can hang the phone from the cable and lightly swing it around without it disconnecting. If it's just falling out it's because something is mechanically wrong or it's full

It's because your port or cable are filled with pocket lint. Get a sewing needle and fish it out and it will connect again.

For video input or power supply? I doubt we would ever see it for power supply. For video input it seems almost deliberate since the TV brands all benefit from licensing out HDMI and forcing it to be the only way to connect to a TV.

The USB spec does have labeling standards that are pretty clear. But uncertified temu junk obviously doesn't use them. There shouldn't even be such a thing as a 20w cable, the minimum with no emarker chip is 60w.

Try a different cable and make sure the ports aren't full of rubbish. A good cable and clean port makes a fairly good connection with a solid click. Lot of time I've used a sewing needle to fish incredible amounts of pocket lint o

What way are you breaking them? The two failure modes I've seen are the port getting full of pocket lint for phones (easy to fix) and the port ripping off the PCB. The second one is a design issue where some ports are entirely surface
