136·17 days agoSo 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.

1·2 months agoLoans have to be repaid and I’m not talking about liquidity. If you have a billion $ in cash and use it to fund a billion $ research vessel, you have a billion $ research vessel. You’re still a billionaire. Gaben owns large portion of Valve, a multi billion $ company. The only way for him to no longer be a billionaire is to either
- Sell his stake in Valve and burn, give away or otherwise loose all the money.
- Devalue Valve to the point that it’s no longer worth billions of $.
Tell me you don’t understand net worth without telling me you don’t understand net worth. Do you think being a billionaire means holding a 10,000,000 $100 bills under your mattress?
That’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.
It’s free and open source, you don’t have to fund anything. Just don’t enable adds/rewards and don’t pay for their VPN, AI, talk.

Where are you getting this info from? The last release was 2 days ago https://github.com/markqvist/Reticulum and there is an active community porting it to different languages and working on related projects https://awesome-reticulum.net/ .
Replacing 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.
Risk criminal charges to cause $24 in damages, that will surely crumple the multi bilion dolar corporation.
What do you need all that ram for?
Next step will be a country wide captive portal where you need to log in with your digital id just to get on the Internet at all. We should all start looking into decentralized network infrastructure like a wifi&lora meshnet or community run satellite connection. There already is a network stack with an active community that allows that called reticulum. It can be incorporated into the existing infrastructure of meshtastic, i2p, wifi meshnets etc.
Monero
2·3 months agoMonero - private, permissionless, decentralized, p2p, digital cash system.
Reticulum - cryptography-based networking stack designed to build secure, decentralized, and resilient local or wide-area networks using readily available hardware. It operates independently of traditional internet protocols (like IP), enabling communication under adverse conditions such as high latency and extremely low bandwidth with:
- Forced e2e encryption and forward secrecy
- Initiator anonymity
- Multi-hop and self-configuring routing
- Heterogenous network support
- Decentralized addressing
Basically internet 2.0
Arweave - private, permissionless, decentralized, p2p, permanent data storage/server.
Comedy is merely tragedy happening to someone else.

Plus you don’t have to pay for online and get cheaper (or free 🏴☠️) games.
