I assumed this structure is printed as a hollow shell, with a rigid plastic, you can maintain a solid shape, which you can’t do with a shell of a soft TPE material.

I’ve had multiple old charger cables fail at the same spot because of the lack of strain relief.

What could be done to make it viable long term is to print the main body with a rigid plastic to maintain structure and only print the strain relief with a soft TPE material, but that would involve a little bit more complexity and assembly.

You shouldn’t use this long term.

The cable strain relief (the ribbed part on the end) is nonfunctional because it is hard 3D printed plastic without any give, it’s a very easy way to wear out your cable at that spot from the concentrated cable strain.

And as I said there, it is utterly hypocritical for him to sell snake oil to artists, allegedly to help them fight copyright violations, while committing actual copyright violations.

These pesky fake Instagram impersonators are getting sneakeir and more creative by the day, you just don’t know if anyone is really who they say they are on the other side of the screen nowadays.

Lucky for me, no one here has tried to impersonate me and shill cryptos… yet. I just really don’t like cryptos.

Also,

… while simultaneously blocking the authentic profile whose pictures they are misusing. This cuts off the possibility of contact with and being seen by the authentic user.

This is why I think 2 way blocking as implemented here is a bad idea, because it really opens up the block function as a potential avenue for abuse.

I will offer an alternate explanation:

Restaurants (and by extension, coffee shop) are inherently very risky businesses to start and operation, I think over 90 percent of them fail in the first year. So, to increase the chances of survival, you have to make sure your business is ran as efficiently as possible, things like rent and location is outside of your control, so you always want to maximize the value of every dollar you spend.

The first people notice when they go into a new restaurant is cleanliness, nobody wants to eat at a new place that looks dirty, you can only get away from that if you are a decades old local hole in the wall. Ease of cleaning, therefore, is the number 1 priority over everything else.

So, why the “industrial” concrete/tiled floor and metal chair? Because you can just hose them down at the end of the day. Same thing with big open wooden tables and sparce renovations, ease of cleaning.

The second thing is you have to avoid major renovations, make the with the space you have and maximize the amount of interesting decorations for the minimum money/work.

Why put subway tiles on white walls for decorations? Because you don’t have to hire painters, and subway tiles are cheap and interesting looking.

Why use big open windows and only dim Edison bulbs for lighting? Because hiring electricians to rewire the place you rent for lighting is a lot more expensive than using the big windows you already have.

Why avocado toast? Because coffee is your main focus, the food is important but secondary, and a piece of fruit on a piece of bread pretty much doesn’t require any cooking.

It’s really the operation efficiency, rather than some trend following “Instagram” asthetics that led to all these coffee shop looking the same, I think this is a better explanation than what this article proposes.

Depends on if you’ve seen ‘Dreamland’ or not.

We still have a work account, along with fan pages and memes, etc.

Hoping the Lemmy shitposting meme magic will work again, I don’t understand how it works, and it did backfire during the Golden Globes when your favorite esteemed character actress to you got her own Lemmy bit turned around on her:

Koy continued: “The key moment in Barbie is when she goes from perfect beauty to bad breath, cellulite, and flat feet — or what casting directors call ‘character actor’

It is exactly because Instagram is at the scale that it is that caused moderation to be difficult. Facebook has relied on using bots to moderate for so long due to its scale, and using bots that are specifically designed to detect AI generated contents is really not possible without introducing a ton of false positives, since the Instagram of the 2020s at its core IS celebrity/influencer advertisement, and there is honestly very little that differentiate what constitutes as "content* and “spam” there.

Since influencers will be the first to be automated by machines, I just don’t really see a point in having an Instagram account any longer, the inevitable conclusion of creating a fake reality of your life on Instagram is being replaced by a machine that can fake it more efficiently.

I would imagine the sheer embarrassment of having an really ugly monkey NFT profile picture is enough of an incentive.

Credit to where credit is due, good for X Formerly Known as Twitter, though this is mostly because Musk only used crypto as a grift, whereas Jack Dorsey is a True Believer in crypto.

Hence, the “USB-PD compliant” portion, which partly is that tiny controller chip.

You can technically have USB-C to C cables that are not PD compliant, but these are not the cables you want to be buying.

Since everyone here seems so confused by USB naming schemes, a short primer:

USB 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, and USB4 are the major and minor revision number of the standard. You don’t have to worry about it if you are not implementing it yourself.

The Gen number indicates the supported transfer speed, Gen 1 is 5Gbps, Gen 2 is 10, Gen 3 is 20, regardless of the spec revision.

(USB 2.0 is 480mbps)

Dual lane (Gen ?x2) means you take the speed of the Gen number and multiply it by 2.

The only major difference between USB 3 and 4 is that USB4 uses Type C plug only, whereas USB 3 can use a variety of connectors.

All USB-PD compliant cables support up to 100w of power delivery, only cables labeled as EPR (extended power range) supports up to 240w of power.

Nintendo’s USB-C on the Switch is standard compliant, but modified in a way to allow for smooth plugging into their own docks, which requires a much tighter tolerance.

Cheap third party docks cannot meet the tolerance required for smooth plugging, and the dock that was tested was not even PD compliant but tried to implement the handshake for high power in software instead, which was what caused the bricking of the Switch.

He looks like he’s ready to beach somebody off.

Considering that the needle hovers like mere nanometers over the disk, something as simple as loud noises would cause enough vibration to affect disk performance, so the force needed to permanently damage a disk is really, really small.

Besides speed, the main problem of spinning rust hard drive ultimately comes down to reliability: you have to baby them, one bad shock and the magnetic needle scratches the platter, then all your data is gone without any way to recover them.

Datacenters usually have redundancies just in case, but being that NAND flash is dirt cheap nowadays, the flaws of spinning rust hard drives are too great to overcome.

If you are ever in LA, you should take a drive around SpaceX campus and see the “Hyperloop prototype” they built outside(don’t get out of the car, Hawthorne is a run down industrial zone and not the safest place)

There is nothing that shatters the illusion of Musk’s genius faster than seeing that sad, short gas pipeline looking thing on an run down street next to their overflowing employee garage.

So, this week, we are talking about deGoogling on !android@lemmy.world.

You guys are very welcome to join in the conversation.

I’m an actress, not a jellyfish, you silly billy!

I can neither confirm nor deny the rumor that Ryan Gosling’s trailer on set always smelled of fish.

I think someone is really fishing for compliments here.

This smells a little bit fishy.
