A solution to a self inflicted problem.

What? I’m either misunderstanding you or this statement isn’t correct

I meant that no USB standard actually has exactly 1 Gbit/s. I even mention that next one if 5Gbit/s. Just a misunderstanding I think.

No USB cable has “gigabit speed”. It probably has 480 Mbps (USB 2.0 standard).

Maybe he meant a 5 Gbps Gen1 cable. That would be “gigabit speed” but still rather slow by today’s standards and won’t support DP. They are pretty cheap these days, so wouldn’t be suprising to see left over stocks being sold as charging cables.

That sounds like a dedicated charging cable. So yeah, they will (if at all) only transfer data slowly and not support any extras features like displayport.

You won’t find these symbols on most devices though (certainly not on any macbook as the picture suggests).

Something about those legs just makes me want to call them daddy.

To expand more on the meme side: It’s a notorious problem in spider communities that every brown spider will at some point be called a brown recluse by … less educated people. Which can lead to innocent spiders being killed just for their skin colour! Which is why there are usually rules that prohibit layman from identifying medically significant spiders.

The spider in the picture is a tarantula, so very obvious not a brown recluse. That’s the joke. It’s funny here, but seriously don’t make that joke on an actual spider community, none of the residents will think it’s funny.

lol, I’ve been there.

I did in another reply to the comment you just repied to.

Thanks for that!

Red spider mite is the common name for Tetranychus urticae. That’s quite the specific ID for such a terrible picture. I don’t think it’s correct, Trombidiidae seems more likely (and those are predators).

Seems to be a mite (possibly red velvet mite).

You’re now banned from !spiders@lemmy.world

Laughs in Salticidae.

Dumb monitor > smart TV.

So use !atheism@lemmy.world instead. It’s bigger and more active anyway.

I grew up with rechargable AA and AAA batteries. They were great at the the time. But I only have one device left that uses them, some at least 12 year old logitech keyboard.

Just recently bought a fan with a remote control (Don’t have an AC, so you really need at least that). I had to buy some AAA batteries for the remote. Haven’t used those in close to a decade.

Ok, I’ll bite.

Now I’m not an apple fanboy, I have a macbook and this mouse, but no iPhone, iPad or even an apple ID. I’m also not claiming that this is good design.

But there is also nothing wrong with that mouse. The previous model used two AA batteries, which I think is worse. I do still have some of them around, but I use them rarley and sometimes forget to restock. So with it being rechargeable, at least for me, there is less risk of ever running out of battery. And the battery lasts like 3 months on a full charge. It also charges quite fast so it’s really hard to get that thing depeleted. Just plug it in everytime you take a shit and you’re good. You can charge it for like 2 minutes and you’re good for 2 days. The issue is a meme only.

The only real problem I have with it is that it uses the stupid lightning port. If they’d just make it USB-C then I could ditch my lighting cable all together.

.mkv is just a container and can contain any encode. All my av1 encodes are .mkv files.

But the majority of my videos are in h264 for compatability, though I’ve been adding more av1 and h265 encodes lateley. But storage isn’t much of a concern for me.
