That’s fine. 1% per uberweird news cycle is the death of facebook.

Zuck invented the feed.

Talk American to me any time.

Give us absolute control and we’ll give it back after we created paradise, pinky-swear!

I’d like to see one of these publications post recipes for CEO stew.

End-to-end encryption matters if your device isn’t actively trying to sabotage your privacy.

If you run Android, Google is guilty of that.

If you run Windows in a non-enterprise environment Microsoft is guilty of that.

If you run iOS or MacOS, Apple is (very likely) guilty of that.

These things don’t cost effort, they just buy a library and pump up the cost of the game and make the fucking publishers feel better about themselves.

FAT chain traversal sounds like a diet plan. 😅

Boomers are not a collective hivemind, generations are divisions the rich use to dominate the working class.

The feetdraggers will slowly, begrudgingly follow–as always.

To be fair, Kamala is our third Presidential candidate this year. 😂

I don’t understand why everyone assumes using a VPN means paying for a third party.

It’s because that is what is advertised to them.

Also, push notifications. Most things could be done from a browser, but corpos have to have their push notifications.

It doesn’t matter if you’re the guy who turns every notification off and manages all those… 9/10 people won’t.

We still have monuments donated by Fascist Italy standing in Chicago.

The consumer facing names for those transmission specs are and have always been:

• SuperSpeed 10 Gbps

• SuperSpeed 20 Gbps

Unless you’re designing your own circuits you don’t need to worry about signaling rates (ie “Gen”) or lane configuration (Z×Y).

Well if there’s anything I expect from the new-cycle masses, it’s rationality.

Heaven forbid, we try and do better!

I guess I should just read the whitepapers of every standard going forward, silly me.

You don’t have to read whitepapers to know the difference between Ethernet, CAT6 and RJ45 even if your grandpa doesn’t know the difference.

It’s not too much to expct the “nerds” to know the real names of PAN connections, too.

Nobody uses that…Everybody literally on the planet agrees the system is moronic

Then just be as mad as you want–that’s the whole point of the news cycle anyways! Why bother learning? Congrats, chaos wins!

the history of renaming everything so many times.

Every time a new USB spec comes out the version number goes up. A new spec comes out because they add more features. The spec is a whitepaper that explains all the features. It’s a “The King is dead, long live the king!” situation.

If you just never used the version numbers to mean something that they never meant (transfer speeds) then literally none of this is confusing.

They’ve officially renamed the transfer speeds one time after people made a big huff. here’s how they changed:

• USB SuperSpeed -> USB 5Gbps

• USB SuperSpeed 10Gbps -> USB 10Gbps

• USB SuperSpeed 20Gpbs -> USB 20Gbps

And If you can’t follow along with that, I’m really, really sorry. There’s not much I can do from a internet discussion board. XD

the whole USB 3.2 Gen 2 2x2 (hands of blue) bullshit

If you’re not trying to wire your own USB port you can just use the recommended names “USB SuperSpeed 20 Gbps” or “USB 20 Gbps”. You don’t have to be confused by technical names if you don’t want to be.

The real bullshit is between your ears–you and only you can fix it.

480mbps

A device or port that does 480mbps transfer speeds is a “Hi-Speed” device/port. That’s the real name and always has been.

It doesn’t matter what version of the USB spec it was certified under. If it was designed between 2000 and 2008 it was certified under USB 2.0 or 2.1

If that device was certified between 2008 and 2013 then it was certified under USB 3.0. That absolutely doesn’t make it a “SuperSpeed” device/port, but that’s more than clear when we use the real names.
