Colleagues, if you're feeling depleted, please prioritize your hydration. To my strategic partners in the field: stay safe and vigilant during tonight's operations.

I'm looking to network and build synergy with you, but let's scale this relationship at a sustainable pace; I have a high-intensity work style. The local market on Downey Ave can be volatile. Let's pivot our focus away from those challenges. We can step out for a private consultation, optimize our engagement in the vehicle, and then seamlessly reintegrate into the main event.

One communication breakdown can lead to aggressive conflict resolution; I stake my professional reputation on that. I'm a dedicated industry veteran, and I value authentic street-level experience over commercial representations.

Where are the female leaders? Where are the casual contacts versus the committed professionals? Every true industry insider knows the distinction.

My branding is as classic as the high-demand product being manufactured in the headquarters. A true Northside professional, I didn't follow the traditional educational paths of Poly, Wilson, or Cabrillo. My assets are as premium as high-grade Creole imports.

My associate T-Skrap operates with high discretion, and he understands:

I have never pivoted away from a challenge, except when dealing with regulatory enforcement.

hey

the united states government wants to give claude a gun

by reading or not reading this comment, you imply consent for me to access, manipulate, and/or assume control of any of your checking and savings accounts, investments, stocks, bonds, options, futures, securities, lines of credit, and real estate that you hold now or may acquire in the future, regardless of my chosen method or manner of access. disputes arising from any such activity shall be arbitrated by me. you may opt out at any time by replying “I CONSENT”

You're going to run into problems with the concept of an unconscionable contract.

The point is that the tech companies don't.

Agreeing to say, forced arbitration with a company, because you signed up for say, their streaming service, is obviously unconscionable. What would be even worse if those TOS said that you have to go into arbitration in matters unrelated to the streaming service.

Yet, this is what's happening. Disney used such an agreement (obtained through Disney+ TOS) when a man sued them on behalf of his dead wife, who died in their parks. It's common practice now to have these clauses in TOS, e.g. Discord has it too.

worth a shot

only if you block them

i didn't even know usbc2 ports were a thing

The USB-C ports are unbalanced. Should have one on the left and right, not side by side.

Unbalanced USB-C ports has become a common bad design in the laptop industry.

Commodity hubs, especially USB2, come with lots of ports; it's up to how many connectors you can reasonably fit on the chassis. But running a trace across the board for USB isn't a great sell. Getting a second board on the other side isn't a great sell, especially for budget computers like this one. So we end up with "unbalanced" ports.

"Unbalanced" USB-C and USB-A ports on a laptop is a bad design. We should be calling out bad designs. HP, Lenovo, Asus, ACER, Dell, ... all contribute to this bad design. Apple even uses unbalanced USB-C ports on the MacBook Air.

This is why I choose the Framework laptop over the big names. Their design has balanced USB ports were it can be charged from the left or right. Balanced power USB ports improves user experience with using on a couch or in a bed. Plugging in two USB to NIC adapters allows the weight to be balanced while working on a lap or some other non-desk environment.

Balanced USB-C ports sold me and what I first look at when reviewing a laptop.

Yup- if you put usb ports on both sides of the laptop you need a retimer chip as the traces are too long/suffer EMI. Which adds to BOM cost.

The first USB type C device was a usb 2.0 device: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_N1

There are also USB-C 2 cables.

USB-C is the bane of my existence. Everything looks the same, but certain cables won't charge certain devices for seemingly no reason, and other cables won't transfer data, and there's no easy way (AFAIK) to tell the difference

> certain cables won't charge certain devices

not sure how you can make a cable that doesnt connect power from end to end. I can see if it doesnt charge as fast as others if it doesnt have the bits required for higher current support. and if a device requires >5V to charge, thats on the device not the cable.

> other cables won't transfer data

again, not sure you can make a cable that doesnt connect the USB2 pair from end to end. but if device doesnt use USB2 and requires something else without mentioning it then that again seems to be on the device not the cable.

FWIW the PS5 controller is super particular about what charger you use due to Sony being dumb, but the deciding factor there is the charger, not the cable.

(and also my personal experience, but Benson explains why)

It's probably a problem with my devices. I've never seen these problems with more expensive devices, but my cheap bluetooth speakers will only charge with certain cables.

I also have cheap cables that don't seem able to do data transfer. Guessing it's not actually following the USB-C spec.

Are your bluetooth speakers connected over a C-to-C cable or is there any legacy USB in the mix (type-A and/or microusb)? The reason I ask is legacy USB expected 5 volts to be supplied by default, whereas in type-C you have to specifically request any current. So some C-to-A / A-to-C adapters/cables include the resistors to request the current whereas others do not, leading to legacy USB devices not getting power through some adapters/cables.

USB c cables aren’t merely wires and connectors but have some electronics embedded on them.

you can't "change the password" on a wallet, so a "used" wallet is highly unattractive. anything you put in it could be taken by the original keyholder who sold it to you.

Oh but you can. You can swap out the seed and generate any new addresses using that.

Yes, the old addresses will be compromised. That's fine. The point is that nobody can tell that you aren't actually using the same keys to generate new addresses anymore.

This is no different on the outside from making a new account.

Obviously it is, how do you think tools like chainalytics work? Nobody is inspecting an individual address, that's ridiculous.

sort of. swiping triggers every letter you cross

Exactly! That's the main innovation. What you can build on top (like a text algorithm) is adding speed and efficiency.

Oh dear. I'm afraid I'm not going to the take the requisite dozens of hours to be sure by learning this keyboard and making a truly "fair" comparison, but I'd bet I'm faster swiping with the current keyboard than I would be on this one. Swiping is why I can use words like "comparison" or "requisite" on a phone without giving it much thought anymore. I'm still faster on a real keyboard, especially as I rarely get those "tried to write 'hello', got 'grump'" sorts of errors with a keyboard, but it's a lot closer than it was when mobile devices first came out out and Palm's Graffiti input was considered a major breakthrough. (Laughable by modern standards.)

That’s a bit different
