Nou.

We’ve been raised in an individualist society.

USB PD 1.0 is irredenta in 2025. 2.0 is basically irrevent outside of old device still on sale.

If the charger does 60 watts or greater it’s going to be 20v. https://www.renesas.com/sites/default/files/media/images/normative-voltage-source-pdp-rating.png

Everything made in the past like 4 years is 3.0. Ideally you shouldn’t buy anything that isn’t PPS (programmable power supply) because it makes charging a LOT more efficient.

But good luck finding a 12v adapter, they’re very hit or miss on supporting it since 12v is optional now and not a lot of things support it.

Good ol caching, gotta love it.

If this was a web view they wouldn’t even need this screen since it could just done in the “app” itself instead of needing to open an external browser.

I didn’t feel like typing that part.

And they had little docks to charge them (and transmit) but they also make docks for your phone.

Bonus: the landline was already wired so just don’t unplug it ever and use it like before.

That’s not physically possible.

But it is extremely efficient for what it is. The first number I found on google said it’s 95% efficient.

If it’s completely misaligned yes. But there’s a wide spectrum between too far off to even turn on, and perfectly aligned.

This is what magsafe/qi 2 fixes by including magnets which should have been there from the start.

Radiowaves are not free real estate. Every country has their own laws on what frequencies you’re allowed to use for what.

2.4ghz frequencies are basically as unregulated as they can get in the US, so that’s why wifi used that for the longest time. I’m not sure what devices used 5ghz before, but they took that frequency for wifi. You have to fight for every mhz you can get in radio waves.

Here’s the wiki article talking a bit about this. I’ve never heard of like 3.6ghz wifi so that’s interesting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi#Operational_principles%3A~%3Atext=some+cases+severely.-%2CWaveband%2C-[edit]

I like how they specified the xo-1 lcd. Everyone knows the one laptop per child computer from like 2010 is the most relatable device in 2025…… 15 years later… fuck. I wasn’t even 15 when that came out.

I question the legality of that requirement.

Really?

They can, they’re called smart thermostats. They need to know the outside and inside temp and honestly the easiest way to do that is to just connect them to the internet. Plus they’re even better when they know it’s going to be cold all day vs cold for half the day, then the sun comes out and is really hot the second half.

On Windows or Linux? I don’t have this issue on either my desktop or my laptop, nor do I know of anyone else with that problem.

Institutions could be the only time I’d be interested in following “a person”. But at the same time they could just make their own community that only they can post in.

That’s also why I use lemmy and not twatter/mastadon/any other clones. I’m not interested in some dudes random train of thoughts, I want X communities for Y interests I have. Not every person has exactly the same interests as me and I don’t really want to be bothered seeing that stuff.

Judging them by the first 5 minutes of interaction is the cover. As a fast food employee you’re not going to learn that they just got fired from their job and the divorce was just completed today and the wife gets all the kids.

See I want all the junk from yesterday.
