actually they would be correct :

USB began as a protocol where one side (USB-A) takes the leading role and the other (USB-B) the following role . this was mandated by hardware with differently shaped plugs and ports . this made sense for the time as USB was ment to connect computers to peripherals .

however some devices don't fit this binary that well : one might want to connect their phone to their computer to pull data off it , but they also might want to connect a keyboard to it , with the small form factor not allowing for both a USB-A and USB-B port. the solution was USB On-The-Go : USB Mini-A/B/AB and USB Micro-A/B/AB connectors have an additional pin which allows both modes of operations

with USB-C , aside from adding more pins and making the connector rotationally symmetric , a very similar yet differently named feature was included , since USB-C - USB-C connections were planed for

so yeah USB-A to USB-A connections are explicitly not allowed , for a similar reason as you only see CEE 7 (fine , or the objectively worse NEMA) plugs on both ends of a cable only in joke made cables . USB-C has additional hardware to support both sides using USB-C which USB-A , neither in the original or 3.0 revision , has .

Just to put it into perspective:

Lets assume half of those 1.1 M find shelter in Gaza but outside Gaza city, (I think this is generous, as it will mean ~2 people living there usually for each person seeking shelter, as 2 M people live in the entire Gaza region). This leaves 550 k people to exit through the three border crossings. This leaves each person an average time of less than half a second per parallel processing capacity of the crossings to cross the border. Note that all three of these crossings are closed if I'm not mistaken.

don't get me started on ADHD 2.0

not only murder but also misgendering. smh

Going back to reddit r/WTF often had posts with either gore or nudity (or both), as an example.

Adding: in some areas (EU and possibly India, unsure) the aircraft can be equipped with a low power cell tower called a picocell to both supply cell service to those on board and to prevent this issue.

The EU and US also don't require planes to be unaffected by WiFi or Bluetooth signals, but allow operators with aircraft assessed to be unaffected to allow passengers to use the aforementioned radios.

I've also seen some studies suggesting phones may pose slight interferences with the planes GPS system, but it didn't have much weight.

I recently saw a SO answer suggesting to use PHP as an alternative to the c preprocessor.

Not that related, but my favourite quote to date is:

the offspring would be quite smart (European)

President can refer to an unelected leader. However the position of the president in China is purely ceremonial, so it could be argued that the more important title Xi holds is General Secretary, which is a title the PRC "inherited" from the Soviet Union which I feel like is closer to the position of a prime minister in European countries (ie the leader of the ruling party), though I admit my understanding of Chinese politics is quite shallow.

Yeah he's known for rage firing people. Also not related but as a child he was pushed down a flight of stairs for making a (supposedly) insensitive joke to a kid who lost his dad to suicide.
