It doesn't. All the power source needs is a way to sense that a power sink has been plugged in, as otherwise you could connect two powered sources with each other. Type C makes it about as simple as possible. It's really not the s

Google Talk - and it was an actual federating XMPP server, in contrast to Facebook which merely allowed you to login with an XMPP client.

You don't need a tester to detect this (and it's not about cables).

Raspberry Pi 4 had a slightly different problem - they attempted to get away with using just one resistor instead of two, as it allowed them to simplify their voltage-sensing circuit a bit. At a cost of non-compliance and all the issues tha

There's all sorts of cheap devices like that out there that merely have a Type C-shaped receptacle that doesn't actually implement Type C because they couldn't bother to place two resistors on the board.

Just grab two of these spec-violating chargers and a C-to-C cable. I don't think the right solution to problems coming from spec-violating garbage is producing differently spec-violating garbage.

You need to be quite irresponsible and blindly take large doses for extended periods of time to achieve this though - and there's a significant margin between what's considered a "too high" level and what's actually

Last time at a karaoke I sang a song that translates to "we're hitchhiking". Little did the audience know that I wasn't hitchhiking at all and neither were they. I was just standing there, singing.

What a weird article. In both shown cases it takes a perfectly legible and understandable dialog and then twists it beyond recognition into something I've never seen being actually used to go "see? that's what's wrong wi

Because a sticker "includes Tetris" on a box that doesn't mention Tetris otherwise seems like a mistake, while "now includes Tetris" sounds like there's been a change that made the information on the box out-of

I have no troubles compiling most stuff on a phone with 3GB RAM. I even worked on Mesa on it once when I was too lazy to set up cross-compilation. I only struggled with OOMs on some Rust apps so far (and I haven't even had zram set up

To be fair, those were the best that were there back then. But that was more than 20 years ago. Since then Intel came to work on Mesa, later AMD and various embedded GPU vendors, and now Nvidia is one of the worst options out there.

It has worked for decades and many thousands of packages just fine. If nobody cares enough to make the application available, perhaps it just shouldn't be there.

Of course you do, that's where the value comes from after all.

You couldn't even make a 5W USB-C cable if you tried. You'd have to make the wires so thin that it would burn at above 1A I guess, and it would have no way to signal the device to limit its power consumption to 1A, so it would jus
