DATA, it’s legacy (1.0-2.0) USB’s differential pair for backwards compatibility. You only need one side to make contact so they decided to simplify plugs for devices that use the legacy mode. For example most mice and keyboards, even ones with USB-C, still use USB 1.1 because they don’t need the extra speed, and 1.1 cables are cheaper because the low speed allows them to be unshielded and still not suffer much interference.

The colors were chosen by somebody at Microchip but this has become the go-to picture for USB-C pinout. Here’s the original PDF and here’s a one-page vector version I made, you can print it as a poster:

PDF + b/w printer+crayon version

USB has been plagued by many weird decisions and scope creep but I really hope USB-C puts an end to that. A fully wired cable contains enough twisted pairs for just about any application and the physical properties are great. Too bad manufacturers will keep creating non-compliant devices such as naïve hubs that don’t account for PD voltage mismatch, or cables/chargers that claim to do something and actually don’t, making it a coin toss as to what devices they work with.

Do they realize this may be the only way some people can legally play the games? I can imagine lots of disabilities that only let people play with a niche controller

The owner is a Polish Catholic.

“We believe that the involvement of the Pope will help to convince them to spend some time and use this opportunity to learn programming for free,” Mr Mironiuk explained to the BBC.

Yes, checks out. Who else would think that the Pope is a role model for kids?

Hallo Alter

Schade, dass unser Ahn u/ChaoticNeutralCzech hat Deutsch abgewählt.

Er sagte, dass er Anime-Filme auf Deutsch anschauen wird, nun hat er aber „keine Zeit“ und verbringt jede freie Weile auf Lemmy. Was werden wir mit die illegale 100GB-Menge MKVs tun? Das solltest DU als u/ChaoticNeutralCzechs offizieller Nachfolger wissen.

Sicherer kannst du nich sein?

Und viel weniger Ampeln. Ich glaube, es hat mit einer Koalition etwas zu tun.

Wofür tun wir das alles eigentlich?

Wir sind keine Kameraden. Ich kenne dir kaum. Wenn ich kein Beehaw-Nutzer wäre, würdest du ein Runterwähli bekommen.

Die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass es ein Polizist dort gibt, wird auch in solche Stunden niedriger. Und ohne Fz-Kennzeichen auf dem Rad werden keine Konsequenzen kommen.

I’m lucky I only shop at Black Mesa

I thought eating beef was taboo in India regardless of religion, as in – you could get away with it in private but good luck finding a butcher that would prepare one without ruining your reputation in the neighborhood. The taste is not good enough to risk it. However, (not) eating beef is an actual choice if you go abroad.

If the amount is 2.5 %/yr of non-essentials, there is still lots of ways one could make money significantly faster with a good business strategy and lots of luck, and have a probability of eventually reaching a net worth in the billions. However, there’s a difference between following the letter of the “law” and its spirit.

It could work if you aggregated incompatible providers in the same category (such as weather) into one big aggregate API. That way, people wouldn’t need to refactor if their favorite API provider ramps up pricing or dies. But how would I trust you to keep offering the same service at a good price point instead of an established meteorological institution? Also, I think weather aggregators already exist.

I think they mean an API-aggregating API that would be called “100% API” with loads of services supported but no idea how to pay for all that.

Human toll is not really a great way to measure the impact of floods, as everyone usually evacuates on time.
