absolutely correct… in australia, you respect the wildlife because it often has the ability to protect itself… its not like people die here every day from it

just fork chromium again; why use a toolbar when you can have the whole browser!

as another commenter said, for USB-C this isn’t the case: if the wattage is correct, the charging brick and your laptop will “talk to each other” and agree on the voltage to provide

(technically there are some edge cases to this but for a high wattage supply you’re almost certain not going to have to worry about them)

DC adapters (like barrel jacks etc) you do need to match the voltage correctly

however your question is about USB-C cable, and there are different cables rated for different power delivery requirements < 60W any cable is fine, but 60-100W you need a rated cable, and then above 100W you need a higher rated cable again

… i say need here, i’m not sure if you NEED it (as it it won’t work), but the spec says that cables have to have appropriate markings so it’s probably a good rule: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_Power_Delivery#USB_Power_Delivery

that wording is misleading at best. 2 things were true

  • certain people were being overinvestigated in order to use resources so that others who were guilty of far larger crimes wouldn’t be investigated… that’s a VERY different thing
  • he also thought that significant war crimes were going unpunished and uninvestigated

the way this works in australia is that election day is always a sunday (i think? or saturday?) but you can early vote at any number of larger polling stations without giving a reason… also postal vote

but given your name, maybe you know that? :p

shall does not mean only. it means that they do have the power, but not that they and they alone have the power

TL;DR: static numbers to represent dynamic values are a shit idea

examples: number of representatives for a given population, minimum wage vs inflation, fines vs net worth

also worth noting the extension to that situation:

Shmoe Shmiden decides not to step down, and tells the same people who he originally ordered that they need to sit in the room for the impeachment vote with guns just to make sure the vote is fair. also if we lose the vote it was a sham thus anyone voting for impeachment is an undercover operative and should be handled accordingly… voila, no impeachment, no consequences

theatre yes but they’ll never show anything other than that we should do UBI so let them have their theatre if it leads to a good outcome

i wouldn’t say signature exactly, because that ensures that a video hasn’t been altered in any way: no re-encoded, resized, cropped, trimmed, etc… platforms almost always do some of these things to videos, even if it’s not noticeable to the end-user

there are perceptual hashes, but i’m not sure if they work in a way that covers all those things or if they’re secure hashes. i would assume not

perhaps platforms would read the metadata in a video for a signature and have to serve the video entirely unaltered if it’s there?
