AFAIK the fas taxes are mostly paying for infrastructure (mostly roads) and often they often don't cover the costs. This is the reason why some countties are introducing similar charges for EVs. Now you could argue it's a subsidy,

One other popular theory is having to do with democrats staying at home post-COVID and republicans ... not doing so. Nate Cohn seems to think it's pretty plausible https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/10/upsho

Depends on what the app needs, but microG seems to help a lot. But the issue with the GSF is that you can't just use it when needed, it's either nothing or everything. Additionally, modifying the firmware to install microG can lea

There's nothing about the gdpr that forced cookie banners for each website. The tech industry could have implemented the requirements differently, but they haven't done that, instead taking the most annoying and obvious route. The

Additionally, WhatsApp heavily encourages storing backups in Google Drive as well, with semi-regular popups asking users to configure backups in GDrive and to set the backup interval, if not already done. Obviously this doesn't mea

X (at least nowadays) isn't very network transparent. Most things are done via shared buffers (it's faster than shoving bitmaps down a socket), with special fallbacks implemented by the clients, so that x forwarding doesn't

Rust's cargo very much has a first mover advantage. Since (almost) all rust projects use cargo, it doesn't have to fit/work with any other styles. I think this position is close to untenable in the C++ ecosystem and for exi

But taking it offline doesn't solve that issue. OP can still say that.

You can, but apart from calling & web browsing, it's not that useful, in contrast to a windows machine (i guess you probably can't use the windows store)

The issue with docks were very non-compliant 3rd party docks which used 9 V for signal lines, which is way to high: https://hackaday.com/2019/08/04/the-not-quite-usb-c-of-ninte...

The pro controller doesn't use PD, so there's very little risk to destroy anything with a somewhat compliant charger. (There are some out there that repurpose normal USB-A for higher voltages, but they're very rare)

All (or most) of the reports of switches being bricked stem for 3rd party docks, where the dock is at fault and using 9v for signal pins, see https://hackaday.com/2019/08/04/the-not-quite-usb-c-of-ninte...

The Brick-Gate issue, where many switches where bricked, was not an issue with generic chargers, but specifically 3rd party docks. And, as it turns out, the issue in that case wasn't on the switch side, but the manufacturers of the 3rd

> Zig has no warnings. That sounds very fraught with issues to me. Does that mean existing code will have to be updated in case other behavior turns out to be kinda iffy in practice? Isn't there a strong perverse incentive to just

I mean, that's only the latest few generations. Android is worse for sure, but Windows does seem to support old PCs as long as the specs aren't as so bad as to be beaten by an older raspberry pi.

Whilst the vita was an arm based system, it also included almost all of the psp hardware for backwards compatability. They simply reused pops from the psp, with no major changes, so it still ran on a mips system.
