no , its made explicitly as an android application .

tubular , which is a fork of newpipe , works for me . AFAIK its maintained by the person who used to maintain newpipe+sponsorblock

it seems like it , but I have no idea !

edit : to clarify , I believe it does , using the CC1 & CC2 pins which are also used for other things , but I don’t know anything about USB protocol side , I should learn about it haha

more expensive imo.

actually the same pins (well one of them , though since the connector is rotationally symmetric you need two anyway) are used for USB Power Delivery and to negotiate what speed regime to operate in .

furthermore , USB On the go , which was introduced in USB 2.0 , offers the same functionality for USB Micro and USB Mini

actually they would be correct :

USB began as a protocol where one side (USB-A) takes the leading role and the other (USB-B) the following role . this was mandated by hardware with differently shaped plugs and ports . this made sense for the time as USB was ment to connect computers to peripherals .

however some devices don’t fit this binary that well : one might want to connect their phone to their computer to pull data off it , but they also might want to connect a keyboard to it , with the small form factor not allowing for both a USB-A and USB-B port. the solution was USB On-The-Go : USB Mini-A/B/AB and USB Micro-A/B/AB connectors have an additional pin which allows both modes of operations

with USB-C , aside from adding more pins and making the connector rotationally symmetric , a very similar yet differently named feature was included , since USB-C - USB-C connections were planed for

so yeah USB-A to USB-A connections are explicitly not allowed , for a similar reason as you only see CEE 7 (fine , or the objectively worse NEMA) plugs on both ends of a cable only in joke made cables . USB-C has additional hardware to support both sides using USB-C which USB-A , neither in the original or 3.0 revision , has .

I once deleted /usr/bin while trying to delete /bin (symbolic link) because I accidentally misformed it . don’t remember why I had to recreate /bin in the first place but it had something to do with installing java

Not the video you talked about , but I felt like its related to your last paragraph : How League of Legends Uses Abuse to Keep You Playing | That Jess . While she focuses more on other pieces of moderation than anticheat , she shows how LoLs developers are incentivized to not give a fuck and that they do , in fact , not give a fuck .

You might also find The CS2 Cheater Problem Has Gotten Goofy | TheWarOwl , which talks about Valve’s failures to provide integrity , even despite , though he also says its a symptom of these failures , third party anticheat systems .

I’ll also add that AI anticheat is not a silver bullet , it also requires upkeep which can be more expensive than classical anticheat systems .

And set the date format to YYYY.MM.DD for the entire world. Americans and Europeans can stop arguing.

this made me uncontrollably angry , its YYYY-MM-DD not YYYY.MM.DD

on the second of December 2009 a russian student died after chewing gum exploded in his mouth . he had a habit of dipping chewing gum in citric acid , however this time he accidentally used an unidentified explosive powder four times more powerfull than TNT which he had for home chemistry related reasons . his name was Vladimir Likhono

found on Wikipedia’s List of unusual deaths

lmao the “high priority bug” is just a user error

honestly I use .hh/.cc which is quite nice IMO . you can also use .hpp/.cpp but I don’t like it personally

reminder that .H can be used as a c++ header extension , along with .C for source files

yeah but using mb/mB instead of M(i)b/M(i)B is a factor of 1 000 000 / 1 024 000 which is more than six magnitudes greater than 8

ah , for context I’m Lily

I mean we are throwing accuracy out the window by using milli anyway so who the hell cares , at this point I’m afraid people are using “m” to mean JEDEC mega , ie per IEC mebi (“Mi”) , not even mentioning how stupid using the “p” infix looks when surrounded by SI or SI adjacent units

honesty I never understood why people consider malbolge so bad . sure its difficult AF to do anything in and the complexity gets quite higher still , but IMHO its just to abstract to be painful , it feels to different to feel like something you should be able to understand .

honesty struggling to write simple operations in some of my own esolangs was way more mind-bendingly horrid than I think malbolge could be without making a compiler to it , while still feeling like I was programming .

to be fair I also made ArrayFuck so yeah

to be fair I can’t imagine Gabe being that fond of piracy … checks ah never mind mind

One thing that we have learned is that piracy is not a pricing issue. It’s a service issue. The easiest way to stop piracy is not by putting antipiracy technology to work. It’s by giving those people a service that’s better than what they’re receiving from the pirates.

BTW the quote is under this amazing image , which I very much hope was not placed there recently :

I believe it was a app , yes
