Do you accept that people can prefer partners older or younger than them? If so, do you really think that’s something that can be dealt with by some kind of “conversion therapy”?

Yeah, functionality between these varies, I know some of them can tell you what capabilities the cable’s chip spits out.

An example I randomly picked:

https://www.amazon.de/Messgerät-Strommessgerät-Multimeter-Strommesser-Leistungskapazität/dp/B0DK5GGVLM

These days a ~10€ gadget can tell you about the electricity going through a USB connection and what the cable is capable of. I don’t like the idea of basically requiring this to get that knowledge, but considering the limited space on the USB-C plugs I’m not sure anything is likely to improve about their labeling.

You’re probably not the only one out there. Maybe someone else would see it differently and pound your head in for less. That frees up the sandwich and anything else in your possession.

Ist das wirklich lustig, auf eine ironische Art, oder vielleicht einfach nervig, weil es die meisten nicht lesen können?

So what’s the allowance for people’s homes in your world? Two rooms and one more for each kid?

Housing should be more controlled, but "need’ will always be a fuzzy term if you still want to allow individuals to have different levels of wealth. Nobody needs a huge home, either. Two or three rooms, actually…maybe a little more with kids.

It’s not “but”, it’s “at least”.

Going by your comments, I think you need to know a few basics before you get into people’s suggestions for actual services. Start with this: more or less, “the cloud” is just someone else’s computer. It’s bigger, the connection is faster, etc., but the services you use most likely run on a Linux computer much like the one you already have.

For experimenting with the topic, it would be good to have another computer that you can mess around with and not worry about having a usable machine. If you can cobble together a desktop from old parts it will be enough to start the learning process.

If engineers were the ones in control that would mean something.

As I see it, phone manufacturers have zero reasons to keep the battery degradation low, but many reasons to push advertised capacity and charging speed. If you were cynical, you could also assume that they’re trying to make sure the battery doesn’t last too long because they want to keep selling new phones.

This whole thing of preserving battery life is something for people that want to use a phone for 5+ years without needing a new battery.

That’s a narrow point of view. It’s also reducing the ecological impact if a device’s battery isn’t trashed after two years, someone else would likely use it.

CAD on Linux sucks. Most is made as Windows only, and many people have tried running it through Wine (Bottles) or other janky methods. Don’t even try it.

How is gaming not a problem any more, but CAD is? Shouldn’t the same tools work to enable both?

Guys really don’t care, less so the more they drink. Wall is more convenient than a toilet around the block whether it’s sparkling or not.

This isn’t for him, it’s for the Crown so they can get some distance. I’d say too little too late, but we will see how the public will react.

Telemetry is not malware, as much as you may despise both of them. Words mean things.

Would you think that makes sense if you were designing this feature?

When I read this, it seemed like an attempt at a pithy comment that included a logical fallacy but I couldn’t put my finger on it.

It was. But I also think it boils the topic down pretty well. One thing you seemed to have skipped is that there are plenty of circumcised people expressing regret. So the resulting logic table is very straightforward.

People who went through the procedure at a time in life where they can remember both also corroborate this - while it’s generally not the end of the world, nobody wants to be circumcised unless it’s all they’ve known.

Just something he keeps in a jar…

I honestly would be curious to see studies that people thought were trustworthy that showed it one way or another.

You only need to look a one fact: the only people defending the practice are people who it was done to.
