Echo Dot

If I traveled 100 years into the future I actually wouldn’t be surprised if they’re still using USB-C. A different version of USBC but it’ll still be the same cable, the only reason they would upgrade to another cable is if they decided for some reason that it needed to be able to carry enough current to vaporize you.

Your comprehension of this technology is so limited that you actually think that’s how it works.

The letter simply indicates that the physical wiring in the cable is different to a previous iteration of the USB standard. There isn’t a great deal of reason that they would change that now it has a pretty good potential for energy transfer and high data transfer speeds. In 15 years they might be looking at changing it but not any time soon.

Usb and B came out at the same time in the '90s for god’s sake.

They already are illegal. The problem is the police are corrupt and they’re bought off, and the central government doesn’t really care that much, so they don’t do anything about it.

If you actually report these people sometimes they do get arrested, it just depends on who the chief of police in that area is. There’s a reason they’re all in the same part of India and it’s because the police in that area have been bought off.

Well fortunately we have you. Who contribute a great deal I’m sure

Yeah I used to be guilty of this. Although in slight defense of myself I never used to use random sites like that I always used to pull everything from Google CDN since I can’t see that changing hands.

They may very well shut it down without warning, but they’re probably not going to sell it to anyone.

Pretty well paid then

Pretty asymmetric that isn’t it. On one side you have a nation that is rapidly running out of, well basically everything, and on the other side you’ve got an alliance of nation states which contain among many other things the largest most powerful military on the planet.

Finally the nation that is running out of resources is now getting military support from quite possibly the worst place they could get it from.

It’s going to be one of those ridiculous situations that only happens in Civilization, where you’re bombing cavemen with nukes because your adversary has failed to advance through the tech tree fast enough.

I will never understand why the American military think it’s a good idea to send them tanks that are so complicated. Especially when they’re going up against cold war era relics.

The best tactic Ukraine could have at this point would just be to encourage the North Koreans to defect. Can’t imagine it’ll be particularly difficult, “hey switch sides and we won’t kill you, and here’s a free house with electricity, water and indoor plumbing”.

It would be like trying to convince people to leave the 15th century.

I’m sure that will be really helpful, I bet they’re really well trained and have lots of modern equipment that isn’t just painted wood.

I can’t tell if you’re a stooge or if you really think that. I hope you are stooge, because otherwise that’s a really stupid position you’ve decided to take and you clearly don’t actually understand the issue.

Obvious troll is obvious. Grow up

Military experts say Ukraine’s ability to use Western-supplied weapons in Russia is aiding its fightback.

Wow, thank God for that expert analysis.

Yeah but if you’re only putting 8 GB of RAM on then you’re also going to be constantly querying the hard drive. So any performance gain you get from soldering, is lost by going all the way to the hard drive every 3 microseconds.

It’s only better performance on paper in reality there’s no real benefit. If you can run an application entirely entirely within the 8 GB of RAM, and assuming you’re not running anything else, then maybe you get better performance.

No you don’t understand the architecture is different and so the laws of physics don’t apply. Constantly energizing and de-energizing capacitors can only increase life expectancy, everyone knows that.

It’s a bit first but if their primary motivation was performance improvements they wouldn’t be soldering 16 GB.

If you’re going to weld shoes to your feet, you better at least make sure that they’re good shoes.

I can’t see the image. My instance must be broken.

And if you are going to censor it don’t censor one letter with a line that looks like the letter.

I would have thought the inverse would have been true that they would want to reward coming back It seems like a petulant philosophical view to suggest that the EU would not let the UK back in.

After all doing so would demonstrate that leaving is non-practical

Why would they. Like the above comments says they have much more to gain by UK having to slink back so why would they put barriers to that.

It’s also not as if the pound is a particularly weak currency like the French Frank or the German Deutsche Mark was.
