a movie about intensely organized alien race that mainly communicates via sick dance moves.

We already did that, it’s called “Barbie” and it is art.

Why else did you think the Kens had that highly choreographed dance battle?

Come on now, you guys are the real celebrities!

I would say more like a Harley Quinn.

If there was only some way to make any attempts at building an accurate profile of one’s online presence via data scraping completely useless by masking one’s own presence within the vast quantity of online data of someone else, let’s say for example, a famous public figure.

But who would do such a thing?

You’re right. Those are active cables which I forgot to mention earlier that have special circuits that amplify signals, but are also a lot more expensive as a result.

Pssh. Celebrities on social media, who needs them anyway.

You could always buy more copies of “Barbie” on Blu-ray for Christmas.

Just saying.

That’s esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie to you!

Also, thank you.

If you want a more detailed explanation, USB-C is a small connector that was designed primarily for data transfer, extended power range delivery (240w) was essentially hacked on to the standard. Electricity arcing between the contacts on the connector is the biggest challenge with this hack, since the contacts are small and very close together, which could burn out the circuit board and start fires. For EPR to work safely, there needs to be a lot of extra components on the circuit board/female connector side, which there simply isn’t enough space for on an f2m extension cable.

As for why USB-C cables are so short, it’s simply a matter of physics, carrying high speed data over larger distances would result in higher losses and requires thicker conductors and more shielding, which is why you don’t see USB4 Gen3 cables over 1 meter unless they are optical, and longer “charging cables” are only rated at USB 2.0 speeds, because more often than not they don’t even have the USB 3.x data pins on their connector.

I mean, just because you’re on TV and get paid a lot of money doesn’t mean the rules don’t apply to you.

Well, there is this time a few months ago where the Chinese government hacked AT&T and Verizon using the mandatory backdoors the US government left for wiretaps…

That’s the reason leaving backdoors is generally a really, really bad idea, because you don’t know who else can use them

The obsession with cast iron like it is some kind of magic ritual is honestly really weird. After you cook with it, wash it with water and dry it with some paper towels, that’s it, no need to make it more complicated than it really is.

If things are sticking to your pan, use more oil in your pan; with enough oil, you can cook on a rock and make it nonstick.

It depends on the job. For most office jobs, I don’t think it matters that much if you show up a bit late to go to the bank or if you’re stuck in traffic, especially now that holding online meetings are easy.

But for a job where being late means holding up the work of hundreds of people, say, being an actor on set, then showing up ahead of time is very important.

If you’re wondering how a browser extension got so much money to pay all these YouTubers for sponsorship, well, they’re not. They are literally stealing the money they paid the YouTubers right back from them by replacing their affiliate code with their own.

For people looking for replacements, Edge’s integratedauto coupon code works well enough. RetailMeNot does the same job and has also been around for a long time.

Fun fact: Queensland accounts for 97 percent of Australia’s banana production, so this sounds like a question for a Queenslander.

Now, if only there is someone we know on Lemmy from Queensland…

Which goes to show that if you are a public figure whether in politics, entertainment, or otherwise, owning your own server for social media instead of relying on Zuck and Musk should be a critical concern at this point.

There is no reason for the Harris campaign to not dip their toe into federated social media at this point given Musk’s antagonism towards them.

No, I meant Barbie in general.

Before Barbies, dolls for girls were always baby dolls, and Barbies were part of the change that showed women can have careers and be more than homemakers.

I thought we addressed that pretty well with during the opening “2001: A Space Odyssey” sequences.

Oh no, does that mean Barbie is woke now too?

(Just kidding, Barbie has always been woke.)

That’s esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie to you!

And while I don’t remember who it was, she sound like she’s from New York.
