  • There is no standard what red USB A ports mean. Could be fast charging through some proprietary protocol or other special features. Or just a design choice.

    USB ports with no symbol just don’t advertise what they’re capable of. Most phones support super speed data transfer. Basic USB-PD and display port output support is also common. They may also support other stuff, like pretending to be a webcam, audio output and much more. But you usually have to look in the manual or data sheet to know what is supported.



  • In Germany, juvenile detention is up to 24 years. Juvenile law is also not that straightforward, if it’s applicable also depends on how “childish” someone still behaves. In some cases one can be 20 and still go to an adult prison, e.g. if they’re very violent and wouldn’t fit into the education-oriented juvenile detention. On the other hand, older people who behave very childish (e.g. because of a disability) will usually not be put into an adult prison and instead get something more therapy oriented similar to juvenile detention.










  • The basic software like the Intellij Community Edition is also fully open source. (And it’s not actually basic at all. It’s a great full featured IDE)

    Basically you’re only paying for their support/updates and for specific language and toolkit support, which makes sense to me. They need to pay their staff somehow.

    It’s not comparable to Adobe or other crappy manufacturers where you own nothing.




  • I simply can’t believe that they released the game in this unfinished state. Early access or a public beta would be understandable, but you just don’t release a half-finished product promising to deliver the remaining stuff later.

    The Minecraft way where you continually provide upgrades for your game can obviously work, but in that case, the game is cheaper and the upgrades are free. If they were going that route, CS2 should have been a free upgrade of CS1 with all the features of the previous product and nobody would’ve complained.

    If you buy another full product, you expect another full product.


  • I really liked his relaxing, calm MacBook repair and data recovery videos, where you could learn about soldering and electronics repair while watching. And I had no problem with a little bit of honest advertising for his own business.

    While the right to repair is important, his videos about it are a lot of rambling and complaining about the same thing again and again. The titles are also often misleading or click baity. I can’t watch them either. I hope they work for the right people, though.
