I don't really get the picture. Is the steps the opportunitys given by money? I guess it's drawn inconsistent, but I thought the water that's diverted from the rich flows down to the poor.

Is the parent comment bullshit cause it implies not everyone can be at the top of the stairs, only be dragged down the stairs? (Meaning the poor people won't benefit from rich people being prevented from being billionaires or something?)

For example having 3x the pins is a big plus. I don't know why you are so focused on not including the protocols a port can use. Apple will most likely use USB to make connections between PCs and their Phones possible. And you have to have connectors capable of carrying the signals for those protocols.

The huge speeds of USB 3.0 (USB 3.2 Gen 1x1) and up are because of added twisted pairs carrying the signals in duplex (Plus a new USB A connector). Anything above USB 3.2 (USB 3.2 Gen 1x2 and USB 3.2 Gen 3 2x2) needs to use USB-C because the older USB-A Connector doesn't have enough pins to allow a connection to a cable with 4 twisted pairs (plus one for backwards compatibility).

I think the lighting connector is enough to allow for a USB 3.0 connection, but you would have to switch the signals after it comes out of the port somehow, as the 3rd pair is not used during FullSpeed (I think there's an adapter that does this)

Even if they don't use USB and develope their own protocol, it's gonna benefit from more parralel connections

The lighting connector only features two differential pairs. But as I understand it, USB 2.0 can only use one of those. The next upgrade would be USB 3.0 (Officially USB 3.2 Gen 1x1, but let's not get into that) which uses 2 differential pairs but also keeps the USB 2.0 connections untouched, so it needs 3 pairs.

Maybe you could cheat and get a non compliant USB 3.0 device connected via lighting to USB A, using one of the pairs for setup, then going into SuperSpeed mode and using the two pairs in full duplex (both ways at the same time). Maybe that's what the Lightning to USB3 Camera Adapter does.

USB-C has the capacity for 4 shielded differential pairs, the 2.0 comparability pair and two pins for alternate mode, which makes it not only capable of, but necessary for USB 3.2 (USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 and USB 3.2 Gen 1x2) and upwards. (Don't ask me about USB4 (not named USB 4 for some reason))

Lightning has some other quirks like being able to carry UART, JTAG and other Debugging stuff, which is communicated with a chip inside the phone/tablet etc. But since that's closed source, it's only been reverse engineered

It's good if you don't need speed.

I think it's the one without Google analytics. Apparently more active development as well, can't confirm that though just trust @eipi1_[email protected]

Gibt es irgendwo Daten die die Emissionen dem Ursprungsland zuweisen? Also wenn VW jetzt Einnahmen hat, sind die Emissionen höchst wahrscheinlich in Asien entstanden. Also für z.B. die Batterieproduktion, zumindest noch momentan.

My experience with native Linux ports has been kinda bad actually. I usually don't play AAA games so maybe that explains it. But Black Mesa or Psychonauts are better on proton. Could be true though, that those are just the ones I noticed. But If I can choose I usually go for the Proton version, seems to be more reliable. It's a shame though.

Insert GNU/ LINUX Copypasta here. To feed the meme: I use Pop!_OS btw

"Hate" is a strong word for my feelings towards Adobe Acrobat reader. But I really don't like it when I start it to view a pdf, you know the thing it is designed to do, and I have a weird popup, then a toolbar on the right with tools I can't use cause they're premium and a toolbar on the left and a toolbar at the top underneath the standard windows toolbar. I just wanna view the pdf man (also weird snapping when you scroll over a page). Haven't found anything nice yet that just works. I don't want to use Edge or a browser to view them and mupdf is too light weight. Would really like an evince for windows

In my opinion, the copyright should be based on the training data. Scraped the internet for data? Public domain. Handpicked your own dataset created completely by you? The output should still belong to you. Seems weird otherwise.

It's hard to have a clean windows install. Forced update? Now you have a weather widget. Installed an app? New icon on desktop. Don't use onedrive? Fuck you here's the unremovable shortcut in filexplorer.

When I switched I was just curious. (Love to tinker with something for hours) But now I think the other way round. Why switch to a non open source OS when I can do everything on a free one (both meanings). Granted professional work is still very much reliant on special software made for windows

I love that winget exists but it's not really comparable. I think it doesn't really do dependencys of if it does the packages don't really use that. Also the packages are still stuck in the windows mindset of having to update on their own with each having their own update service
