A gentle reminder that GDPR is not really just about the annoying cookie banner(which most of the time are not GDPR compliant anyway).

>> Isn’t USB-C at high power kind of expensive per watt? I don't think it's too expensive if you consider the environment impact not to mention the bad user experience caused by mu…

yeah but only recently offered an alternative charging method (magsafe) along with USB-C

If your gaming laptops needs more than 240w you could use multiple 240w chargers. I believe gaming laptops use multiple chargers anyway.

The issue with wireless charging is the waste of energy and lack of fast charging.

If only AirPower wouldn't have been a such failure.

I believe today's iphones are larger than the first iphones. Am I wrong? Not to mention the Samsung high-end stuff.

>> The question is: could e.g. apple create a port which is significantly superior to USB-C, the way lightning was superior to Micro-USB? I think there is already one: MagSafe/MagS…

>> I'm honestly only worried about charging speed on laptops and tablets. What kind of tablet needs more than 240w ? I think that's what Alienware uses as well so I doubt you will …

Apple just started doing that. It put usb-c on the newer macbooks along with its old/back from the dead magnetic connector.

Laptops still ship with various power bricks/connectors.

Apparently Apple is even slower than the slow bureaucrats

There are still laptops with various charger types not to mention digital cameras and other electronics that could use usb-c pd but refuse to adopt it. I think the law should be ex…

>> There is a shortage of handy people is my take. I don't think that. The housing prices are so high due "network effects". The land costs more than the house and everyone wants t…

Traveling during a pandemic is not normal so I find the advice not to travel back home during a pandemic is totally normal. Doing otherwise puts everyone at risk (the traveler, peo…

Who is 100% sovereign? Any kind of treaty makes you less "sovereign". I believe it's the same question about freedom. Are you a free person if you have a job, pay mortgage or marry…

Technically the answer is yes. In practice I believe there would be civil war before that happens.

This guy has found out the benefits/features of free social media. I don't know why he bothers to mention the name. It could as well be Meta(FB, Instagram) or TW. The last part is …

>> the first thing I will be doing is yanking the damn cellular modem out of it That may be illegal just like it's illegal to tamper with consumer electronics/HDMI devices

Tesla still has an "early adopter" and tech aura(IMHO). I wouldn't say it's seen as luxury in Europe. I believe they sell well in Europe because they have the best batteries/range …

I stand corrected.It was Crockford not Eich.

they work locally(local network via app or physical buttons) unless you want to use it remotely via internet. The annoying thing is that it still forces you to "create an account" …

The innovations in this area are incremental so you won't get the best out of it now. Investment into bending oled already went into smartphones so migrating it to laptops doest re…

>> Facebook manages quite well with PHP. I didn't say you can't make it work. You can build great stuff using just bash scripts. I'm pretty sure you can have success with any progr…

Have you tried a more "modern" language recently? By trying I mean using it for more than 6-10 months. I've been one of the PHP "supporters" until I've found Go and Rust. PHP was r…
