I don't think so. I think usb-c based phones don't need any type of active adapter. For example, on usb-c iphones, I can plug my camera with a c-to-c cable in mass storage mode and it shows up. So I expect a dumb a-to-c adapter wo

Didn't you look at the mx trackball? I've had one for ages [0], and it still goes strong. The only annoyance is that I regularly have to clean its base, or a bunch of grime accumulates. --- [0] I don't remember when I bought

I've looked at those and was considering buying one since I already own a K2 v1 which I love. But for the life of me I cannot understand why they switched from the 5-key layout on the rightmost vertical to a 4-key one. And Keychron are

They now support passkeys with things other than their shitty app. I use 1Password, and it works fine. I've also had a yubikey for a long time and can't be bothered to type in codes, so I didn't know their shitty app did OTP

I'm firmly in the I-want-a-quiet-case-which-sits-under-a-desk-so-I-can't-see-through-the-panes-anyway camp, but I sometimes wondered if glass wouldn't actually be better, since those models appear to be heavier than their opa

Well, I have a bunch of lower-end black fans, some of them quite old, from before transparent cases were a thing. They're actually pretty much gray if I don't wipe them off. Noctua's signature... brown-orange? Whatever that c

My understanding is that the precision is supposed to help with noise. Less turbulence, etc. FWIW, in my setup (10th gen i5, RTX 5070 Ti in an old Define R3 case), the 12 cm Noctua G2 fans run quieter and have a much less obnoxious noise th

In my case, the setup is pretty simple. I have full-range floorstanders that only take a single input, and I mostly wanted to control some booming in my listening position. So there's no crossover to handle or anything fancy. Maybe for

It's pretty common to have to show some form of state-issued ID when entering bars and the like in France if the bouncer thinks you're underage. Ditto for buying alcohol. Hell, in the US I've had to go back to the hotel to gr

Which is extremely practical for French, where the colon comes after a space. So if you want to write an actual colon to introduce a list on the following line, you’ll just input whatever the default smiley is.

Actually you can detach a chat to a separate window and switch tenants in the main one. The separate window will keep working. Tried this a week or two ago with the heavy windows client. Which is actually all the more infuriating to my eyes

Because it then restarts the whole app, so you have to wait again for ages so it does whatever it is that it does. And since you can actually have a chat window open from a different tenant, there’s no reason why they should have you do thi
