Interesting. I stand corrected and thanks for the links! Seems I didn't look hard enough at my USB-C cables. Now I'm curious - like the person I responded to, I always felt that Lightning is more tactile and more consistent than

That's not crazy at all. If you look at a male lightning connector, you can see detents at the sides that snap into a (spring-loaded) retaining mechanism on the female side. USB-C doesn't have anything like that which results in l

Does anybody know how they actually do it without a fan and a defined volume around it? The marketing fluff says "It applies sophisticated algorithms to measure the PM2.5 concentration directly in free space, without requiring a fan&qu

I think it's perfectly valid to consider this as problematic (the GrapheneOS team certainly seems to think this is not ideal, for example). However - somewhat counter-intuitively - it's also valid to consider Pixels as among the m

I've also heared good things of this island called Audiobookbay (and there's also this useful service called Bugmenot where you can find all sorts of login credentials...) And even if it's a bit of a hassle, I always check if

The other way round. They named the Star Trek character after a real-world mycologist.

Not really. At least not in the past and probably also not in the future if they are already in the country legally. These things a) take a lot of time (especially in Germany) and b) all the right-wing pandering of the current government is

How do you come up with such stuff? Free speech is as protected in Germany as it supposedly was in the US with a few Nazi-exceptions. So no - a doctoral student would not be grabbed of the street and put through dehumanizing detention exper

I'm happy Matrix exists and I've been a user in deployments at more than one university (where - fortunately - Teams, Slack and all the other externally hosted stuff isn't even an option).

I would personally rank a traditional iPhone home button sensor and the backside sensors on certain Android devices as equally great for unlocking while sliding the phone out of a pocket and general convenience. Side button sensors work OK,

Question you and do research on you on the open web as well as on whatever other data they can access / request. You can get selected for some form of in-depth questioning and research on you at a border for many reasons. At that point

Can I ask what you mean by "having music playlists clutter up my video playlists? I use YT music (along with my local music library) specifically because it uses YouTube content - which means that all sorts of live / niche &#x2F

There is a lot of humanity in the web. Small blogs, niche forums, personal websites, art and so on - all those things still exist. They may have become harder to find among a lot of trash but using, for example, a mix of different search en

None specifically. I pay for the local library to have access to most national newspapers in electronic form. Most (big) international ones, I could theoretically access through work - but that requires VPN and sometimes other authenticati

Hard to speculate, but again, I would assume that many people who show others "incredible kindness and inspiration" accept neurodiversity instead of expecting some sort of apology for it (and might even be willing to talk about su

As others have indicated: I think many people who show others "incredible kindness and inspiration" would value you doing the same for others more than anything you could probably do for them. However, simply telling them &quo

Maybe of interest to some people given the discussions in this thread: https://sciebo.de is an example of a successful "let's roll our own collaboration infrastructure" project at scale (aimed at about half a mill

Have you ever actually worked in a large org or government IT department? :D Commendable ideas, but they do not translate to reality. Even taking the OSS discussion out of the equation: Understanding and integrating user requirements in dev

Live collaboration is not an MS Office native functionality either (needs OneDrive / SharePoint as a backend). If your org uses traditional file shares or some cloud storage/sync tool that is not MS, you're out of luck. There

Yes, I have left a job because there was immoral and violent behavior going on against vulnerable co-workers and due to long-established power structures, change wasn't really possible. On a broader level, I've made a choice long

Does anybody know if all the Apple remote connection things happen on the MacOS level? I'm mostly using Asahi on my personal Macbook these days instead of MacOS and I'm curious if that cuts off everything or just many things.

Are you referring to interfaces for complex tools (such as those for making 3d things) in general or do you have a program in mind that employs "three-dimensionality" in its interface in an especially clean way?

People dont' use Finder? "File system power users"? Are we talking about MacOS or iOS here? Seriously, I think that's an interesting take - that does not relate even a little bit to most work domains I ever was in contac

Bootcamp doesn't really exist anymore but you can use tools like UTM or Parallels to run the ARM build of Windows 11 in a VM - and that build includes an X86 emulation layer, so you can run X86 Windows applications in a double virtuali

Nice work! Are you aware of https://sensor.community ? They have sensor designs as well but I mainly mention them because they have open infrastructure to aggregate sensor data on a public map.

No, you are not wrong. Alibaba is a platform for business to business transactions. The $495 may end up being your price (before all other charges) for a machine if you buy a few shipping containers full of the things. If you want to buy a

I look at the PP machines like I would at a traditional toolroom mill or a standard desktop 3D printer: Middle-ground compromises with relatively sharp upper limits (that can often be worked around by putting in way more work). I've ac

From what I've seen of the Precious Plastic project and its offshoots over the years (mostly from afar, though), I think would find quite a few people asking similar questions and having intense discussions about such subjects there. ;
