    not that it really solves your problem, but any compliant USB-C to USB-C cable is required to support at least 60W of power and USB 2.0 speeds. Unfortunately, beyond that it gets p…

    This is largely because early screen-space AO techniques weren't able to accurately estimate whether the pillar is freestanding (and shouldn't darken the wall) or if it is against …

    Was it a built-in camera cover, or a third-party one? Apple specifically (and possibly other manufacturers?) recommends against third-party covers because the tolerance is so close…

    Unfortunately, it's not. Driving from right-to-left (in the first picture) requires drivers to enter the roundabout twice, then leave once. Judging by the amount of vehicle debris …

    I'm not sure a machine that benchmarks half as fast as an M2 can be said to be in the same ballpark. MacBook Air (2022): https://browser.geekbench.com/macs/macbook-air-2022 Ryzen 5…

    It has been a while since they've talked about that price, and I would not expect it to be anywhere near that price point today, given .

    The Rivian has a 4.5 foot bed[0] and the F-150 Lightning has a 5.5 foot bed[1]. I don't think it's fair to call Cybertruck a novelty item based on its capabilities, especially comp…

    I completely agree - having four Thunderbolt ports was amazing, and I'm sad that one of them has become a dedicated HDMI port. I like the SD card slot, though, but even then I'd ra…

    According to the USB-C spec page 37[0], even USB 2.0 C-to-C cables will support USB-PD at 3A (negotiated with the CC wire which is mandatory even on 2.0 C-to-C cables.) 0: https://…

    4. Yes, all USB-C to USB-C cables can charge at a minimum of 60W which should be sufficient to charge almost anything 5. It depends, but the output capacity is printed on the power…

    If a USB-C to USB-C cable only had wires for VCC and GND, here's what wouldn't work: * Data (this one is fairly obvious) * Power (since the CC wire in the cable is missing, and a c…

    Tesla makes their service manuals available for free (you need to sign in and subscribe, but it’s free and didn’t require a payment method for me.) https://service.tesla.com/
