If you have to print, that’s probably the best option. I’m just happier without any of this.

My long term objective is to never print a document in my life.

I had a similar issue so I went ahead and bought converters. Now I have at least a buffer of one cable I can convert to either USB A or micro B.

Can we get a discovery channel special that details everything revealed during this discovery?

Isn’t that exactly what Israel did when they left the Gaza strip in 2005? That’s the thing that lead to Hamas taking over in the first place.

If we are lucky, it’ll end with Musk’s bankruptcy.

Where I live a one bedroom apartment starts at half a million dollars. A house is well past one and a half million USD. Guess I’m failing at step one: have an extra house.

To be fair, every single project regardless of proprietary or open source has a backlog like that. It’s just that open source projects show the backlog and don’t have marketing people telling what is and is not in the backlog.

Probably. Especially with phone cameras becoming so good that we now need to transfer multi GB video files.

There is a lot more to a game engine than just graphics, although that’s an important piece of the puzzle.

Input, sound, physics, networking, collision detection, path finding, scripting…etc are all important parts that are handled by the engine.

To be fair, usb3 has been around since 2008. Surely apple could have afforded to pay 3 more cents per phone to support that.

I’ll transfer a bunch of audio books to and from my phone every once in a while. Since they are FLAC files I certainly do appreciate the additional speed from having a protocol that’s not yet old enough to drink.

And in case someone missed the reference: USB 2.0 was released in the year 2000.

And crosses are just lines meeting at right angles. And purity rings are just small cylinders. We don’t ban any cylinder or lines meeting at right angles. You’re making a sad attempt at a slippery slope argument.

USB C didn’t exist, but it was being developed, and apple was on the USB-IF forum which developed it. So literally part of apple was developing USB-C while another part decided “nah, we will make our own” and of course it takes less time to make your own than to make something everyone agrees on.

Having written some XMPP code in xmpprs, I can assure you, XMPP is not the best.

With the bridges to other networks, you can pretty much talk to everyone from inside Matrix regardless of what they use.

Then again, the DMA should kick in next year, at that point big players like iMessage, Whatsapp and whoever else counts as big (so probably not Google Chat) will have to allow interoperability between everyone. So they are going to be forced to allow you to somehow massage someone from Whatsapp through Matrix and group chat with people in Instagram and Signal all at once. Matrix has been suggested as the backbone for this interpretability.

You can see evidence for God every time you boil yourself a bowl of spaghetti. He boiled for our sins, repent to the Flying Spaghetti Monster!

R’Amen

Isn’t Matrix the preferred instant messaging protocol for fediverse users?

For the same reason that I don’t use Reddit as a link aggregator.

Sorry, you need hardware.

If you are doing a ton of encoding, you could even get specialized hardware like amd alevo (spelling?) card which enables you to encode even AV1.

That being said, what are you doing that requires you to encode h.265 on ancient hardware?
