I always feel so conflicted seeing an announcement about another Mike Flanagan project. I have nothing against him, but given that my wife is his ex-wife, I can’t help but compare his successes to my own…and that part of me that’s struggled with self esteem issues in the past has a field day with the comparisons, regardless of how stupid they are. 
 

Of course, it doesn’t help when my mother-in-law (who has some narcissism issues) never ceases to post headlines about him on FB, commenting about how he is her former son-in-law. 

Courtney Bell?

Also you’re the best. 

Had a run with evolved whip, santa water, bible, magic want, and knife, with a laurel at a high level. Everything melted until I hit 30 min and the grim reaper showed up and KO'd me. What a game.

This game is so fucking stupid, it's easily the best game of this generation.

When will republicans realize they can effectively ban abortion by simply banning Hershel Walker?

This looks like it’ll be fun.

i feel strongly that this is the best MCU show to date 

I'd say it's second to Ms. Marvel.

I don't think that's actually a thing. You more than likely have a lying or a misleading cable. Cables with fraudulent specs are ALL over Amazon and the rest of the Internet. It's the source of a lot of headaches and most people's issues with buying USB-C cables. It's either that or your cable is rated to carry power, but not more than like 10w while the monitor is trying to pump out 45w or 90w.

That cable is likely not rated for carrying power. This will all be a LOT easier now that stuff like USB-C USB 3.2 Gen 2 isn't a thing anymore. Going forward, a good docking station cable will be named something like USB-C USB 40Gb/90w.

It is, I just assumed it's not up to passing power through my monitor.

Oddly enough, I think think the mess that is USB-C standards is a good reason why this legislation is more benign than it might seem in that it shows how flexible the port is in what kind of connections it can handle.

 

My Dell laptop has a USB-C port that can handle Thunderbolt 3, but it's also a proprietary Dell connection that allows for more power than the USB spec allowed at the time (I think it's up to 180W, when the max official spec was still 100W). Much has been said about how the Switch USB-C port isn't entirely standards compliant. Google, Samsung, Qualcomm, Motorola, and others already have fast charging standards that only work at full speed when you have a compatible charger, cable, and device, but also still work at standard rates with any random charger.

 

Apple could build a USB-C port into an iPhone that can charge from any charger but will only pass data to a certified device or doesn't pass any data at all. They could build their own communication protocol on top of existing USB standards, much like they do with bluetooth with their headphones. They can build their own charging tech on top of USB-PD so that iPhones charge much faster from Apple's own chargers than they would elsewhere. All told, the constraints are relatively limited and I wouldn't expect to have a material impact on what Apple or anyone else decides to do with the port.

To wit, I have an Apple branded Thunderbolt 3 cable that charges my MacBook Pro, passes audio, video, and KVM via my monitor so I can use my wireless mouse and keyboard when I switch from my gaming PC to my Mac even though the wireless dongles are all plugged into my monitor. It passes audio, video, and does the KVN thing when I use that same cable with my work Dell. I have a Belkin Thunderbolt 3 cable that, from what I can see on the package, should do the same. It will do the all the same stuff with my MacBook Pro except charge it, but it does literally nothing with my Dell at all. No charge, KVM, or even push A/V.

I will say that I’ve never had issues witb charging over USB-C. Thunderbolt compatibility and functionality is occasionally extremely weird.

I think it looks fine. My main memories of the original were an awful lot of stomping and Isaac being silent feeling pretty contrived.

Ok so the two posts above regarding the trailer... One says "teaser trailer", and the other says "world premiere trailer".  So my question...will we hear Mario talk?  A "teaser" trailer could be pretty barebones.  I think Nintendo knows people really want to hear the voice. Could be pretty hilarious if they kept the mystery going.

Ouch.

The premise is that Martin was actually a huge miser, saved every penny of his police pension, and Frasier is making it his life's mission to abolish the estate tax.

Any symmetrical port is fine, anything else should be launched into the sun.

I honestly don't think I can remember any symmetrical port fail in of itself, it's either always been the cords or someone jamming a micro USB cable into the port the wrong way.

1)  Who backs up their phone over a cable in 2022?

2)  Why does anyone have a strong opinion over what connection their phone uses?

3)  I haven't noticed a longevity difference between the 3rd party nylon braided cables I bought for my USB-C/Lightning devices

4)  I still have devices that charge over micro-USB, doesn't everyone?

1) Me because I am insane

2) I don't

3) I've never had a problem with any cord from a decent brand (Apple, Sony, Microsoft, Anker, Amazon) with the notable exception of whatever HDMI cable shipped with my PS4 Pro

4) Yes and I hate it

Absolutely pathetic. Everyone in this article [x] is in the "Top [x] dumbasses of all time".

All these motherfuckers ride on luck and vibes more than any astrologist who bases decisions on whether or not Mercury is in retrograde and they only get their own dicks out of their mouths long enough to try to convince everyone else they know better than they actually do. 

Put this fucking clown in jail 

We’re at the phase of the war where software engineers I’ve worked with at external partners and clients are being conscripted into the Russian army. Not for engineering. And all of these people work for companies where 95%+ of their external colleagues are from the west. Probably some of the least likely people to be invested in shooting at Ukrainians. What a world.
