All my gadgets use USB-C. Bluetooth headphones, eReader, laptop, printer, power bank, 360 camera, they all charge via USB-C.
Hell, even my neck cooler runs off it.
Oooof! Yeah, I don't think I could cope with that.
Not everyone has the same level of mobility that you do.
Incidentally, do you get off your arse to change the volume on your TV?
Cheers! It is actually a very lightly customised version of Atkinson. See https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2022/08/an-update-to-the-atkinson-hyperlegible-font/
OMG! I still have my DataLink watch somewhere. I remember thinking it was amazing and showing off all the phone numbers I'd programmed into it.
Will your code work with any flashing LED? Or does it need special hardware?
What?! That boggles my mind - and would probably break my brain.
I also use Simple SMS. Works fine for text messaging - but I use Signal, Telegram, and WhatsApp for everything else.
It is excellent at extracting OTP codes for easy copying and pasting.
Has anyone here read the book? I enjoyed the film and wondered how they compared.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Cracked black pepper. Then either shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano or nutritional yeast.
Basically, all the savoury flavours at once - and not as boring as plain salt.
To be clear - they also work with data transfer (well, except the power bank and neck cooler).
I copy ebooks to my reader over USB, transfer photos off my camera, and print photos - all via USB-C.
I used mine to inspect the solar panels on our roof - https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2017/03/inspecting-solar-panels-using-a-drone/
I wanted to see if they were covered in bird shit. They weren't.
Note when I did this, it was legal to fly a drone that close to private property. I don't think it still is.
What news? Give us a link.
If you're thirsty, drink water.
Yes, there are magnetic USB cables which do data. Here's my review of one https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2021/10/gadget-review-subbytech-magnetic-charge-sync-cables/
I think you've answered your own question - be less meticulous. Oh, and memorise less.
A good programmer knows where their knowledge boundaries are. For example, if you're working in JavaScript, you probably don't need to know bit-shifting.
A good programmer doesn't know every feature; they know where to go to find that information. They know how to read the manual of an unfamiliar feature.
The most important thing you can do is do practical work. Build a website. Try new things. Look up how to implement something and then do it yourself. Find a project that interests you - like building your own website - that'll stave off the fatigue.
You don't need to memorise how to implement a linked-list - you need experience in building.
Good luck.
Could be worse. Could be a Nokia T9 predictive text input!
Discord is where information goes to die.
Please just stick things on a website. I'm happy to help you set one up.
I aim to annoy!
That stupid Goose game. Pissed me off how simple and repetitive it was. Completed it in a few hours and felt like a total rip off. I still get angry when I see the memes.
I loved teaching Scratch. And I've written about DRAKON - https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2023/04/why-arent-there-more-visual-programming-languages-an-ode-to-drakon/
I think they're useful for building algorithms. But the tools themselves aren't powerful enough for anything too complicated. I hope that changes though!
The drive itself will work with any processor. If all you have is data on there, it will work.
Or do you mean you want to swap the drive which has the operating system on it?
FireStick is somewhat hackable. You can sideload Android apps onto it. For example, I got Apple Music running on it https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2023/06/yes-you-can-run-apple-music-natively-on-your-android-firestick/
You don't have to subscribe to Amazon Prime to use the other TV services. You can also install Kodi if you want to play back local media.
The FireStick will use USB power - so you can use your TV's USB ports rather than a separate plug. It also has an Ethernet adapter - I think only the more expensive Apple devices use Ethernet.
I think that's a lovely idea - which doesn't work in reality. At some point someone will need to be cast out. That can't be done by peer pressure, because scammers, spammers, and griefers don't care about that.
Individual blocks also don't work because they leave unaware users open to being abused.
Sure, you could have a town council vote on a block, or have software which blocks a user for all if they have been blocked >=N times, but that's still moderation.
Not that I know of. And I don't think a Lemmy user can block (for example) a Mastodon user.
One underrated thing that keeps the village going is the police. Or, in our case, the mods.
I know, I know! Everyone hates the mods - with their over-inflated egos and unaccountable practices and their capricious banning of innocuous subjects.
But life without the mods means a village where rioters run rampant.
Magnets. (How do they work?)
I replaced all my USB-C and Micro-USB connectors with magnetic ones. No more orientation worries, no more fumbling in the dark, no more not-inserting-it-hard-enough. Just bring the two into proximity and them magically snap together.
Bliss.
