9·1 month agoThat’s why we need decentralized infrastructure like a meshnet or personal/community satellite network. Reticulum based networks are imo the best candidates for that, right now and in the foreseeable future.

3·2 months agoHoney swapped the referal code when another reflink was clicked, brave only applied it’s own code when no referral was used. Not saying that it’s good but honey was purposefully robbing creators, often their own partners when brave only tried to make some money on the side.

Technology@lemmy.world•Dynamic pricing could be coming to your local supermarketEnglish
1·2 months agoReplacing broken displays will cost them less than paying someone to swap labels by hand, and if it does become even mildly annoying to them you will be caught and have the book thrown at you. If you are gonna break the law you might as well do something more productive than generating tax write offs.

0·2 years agoSituations like this are a good opportunity to increase the rate of tech literacy in a broader population or to promote decentralized solutions, but unfortunately that’s a pipe dream.

So the shape of the plug is the same for all devices regardless of the spec… doesn’t it just make things more confusing for non techies? I can already see people saying their new laptop is broken because their 5v 0.67A power brick won’t charge it, or buying a USB-c charger just to find out it doesn’t work. A lot of aftermarket chargers claim to support up to 120W etc. Except they mean 120W is a sum of all ports for a 6 port charger so really it’s only 20W. For techies it can get annoying too if you like to play with hardware. You can just feed appropriate voltage DC over those barrel connectors, for example from a car battery with a buck converter or AA/18650 in series and it will work while usb-c charging needs to be negotiated.
