  • As a US citizen who was born in the UK, how risky is it to leave and reenter the US right now?

    They seem to have detained some white tourists lately as well.

  • China launches HDMI and DisplayPort alternative — GPMI boasts up to 192 Gbps bandwidth, 480W power delivery

    Jump

  • The way it works for power over Ethernet — and I assume USB power delivery must work the same way — is that it does not reduce bandwidth because they run the power and the signal over the same wires at the same time.

    There is a a power injector at one end and a filter at the other end that separate out the high-frequency signal and the DC (no-frequency) power into different wires.

    This is essentially the same thing as they’re already doing for multi-frequency stacking on those same wires (and on fiber) to get the crazy bandwidth in the first place. DC power is just one more low (very very low) frequency running on the same stack.

  • Trump tells UK to buy chlorinated chicken from US if it wants tariff relief

  • If that is true, please explain why all the chicken for sale in my country has gone to shit and good quality meat can’t be found anymore.

    Regulations matter. Hold on to them.

  • Bernstein Posits That A 10 Percent Baseline US Tariff On Raw Semiconductors Is "Not Going To Do All That Much," But PCs, Servers, And Smartphones Are About To Get Pricier By ~40 Percent

  • I’m not saying “inflation means prices go up” I’m saying “inflation means prices went up”. There can be many things that cause prices to go up, inflation is one result of any such cause and of course then causes many things itself including further inflation.

    In your scenario that’s inflation caused by price fixing. You seem to be saying these things are mutually exclusive but I don’t understand why you would say that.

  • Companies deciding to raise prices (for any reason — justified or not) is what inflation is made of.

    Inflation just means “prices went up.”

  • I can press the entirely local switch and have light.

    Are you sure about that? Is it a local connected smart switch (still fancy electronics, just local) or a plain old power switch?

    If it’s a power switch, and If you turned your lights off by app over the internet, and then the internet went out, then your lights’ ability to come back on when you flick the physical switch depends on somebody having thought about this need and programmed a “oh, the switch was flicked so I better ignore the internet settings” mode.

    And if they did that, it also probably means your lights all turn on after a power outage since the light can’t tell the difference between power outage and light switch flipped off.

  • You should know there's a font designed to make reading easier, especially for people with low vision. It's called Atkinson Hyperlegible Next. It's free for personal and commercial use.

    Jump

  • No, can’t blame the app dev at all but we can blame Apple for making open source and other free software so difficult on their phones

  • No. Very irritatingly, iOS won’t let you install fonts normally.

    In order for you to install a font, someone else needs to make an app for that font, and once you download and run the app that installs the font, that font becomes available anywhere.

    This seems profoundly stupid to me and I do not get it.

    There actually is an app for the older font, which you can find if you search the App Store for “hyperlegible”, where some guy is charging $2 to package up this free font for you.

    Thanks, Apple. As usual you’ve done a great job ensuring that nobody gives away anything for free on iPhones

  • I think this font is meant for people with bad eyesight. The website doesn’t make any claims about trouble reading for other reasons.

    I’ve always read very fast with no problems but now I’m old and can’t see small print as easily. This font actually was much more comfortable for me to read without my glasses, which I guess is nice for me but no use at all for you.

    How do you feel about comic sans and the open dyslexia font some other comments on this page are talking about with positive and negative comments? Do those make any difference at all to you?

  • First I was afraid, I was petrified

    I didn’t know if I could live with silica inside

    But then I spent so many years buried under all those layers

    I grew strong

    I learned how to be a stone

    And now I’m back

    From underground

    I don’t erode so fast as all this crumbly sandstone all around

    I’ve been transformed by all this waiting into something that could last

    You just hang a sign around me and you send those tourists past

  • I’m straight and married but I say Partner because “wife” and “husband” sounds like a human property arrangement.

    I know at least one other straight couple who says partner because they don’t want to get into a long discussion about why they’re not getting married
