I mean, I'd not have any issues with a "shitty" #Netbook if it's prized acceptable.

And not €220+ for a Laptop with an #Atom #Z8350 & 2GB RAM and a 32GB eMMC that was €199 at lauch 10 years ago and €149 5 years ago.

Cuz then I might be better off buying a used #ThinkPad with #USBc, remove the dead battery and stap a Powerbank to it.

Speaking of dead #LaptopBatteries: I propably have to mod my #X230tablet so I can #DIY some replacement battery.

Tho I'd rather start the #NUCbook project instead or buy a @frameworkcomputer / #Framework12 instead...

@jherazob TBH, I think we all should standardize to #USBc with #PowerDelivery & #DisplayPort!

OFC it would've been cheaper and easier to stick with HD-SDI over Fiber, 7,9*5,5mm barrel jack @ 20V DC, PoE++ (802.3bt Type 4) and USB-C but sadly #Marketing wins over #TechSuperiority.

@ajsadauskas @JessTheUnstill @tomiahonen @fuchsiii obviously, that would've been a good standard for everyone, given that almost all non-#Gaming #Apps these days are #WebApps and at that point we'd not have 100+ MB #bloatware that essentially just loads a #Website and can't even cache shit!

/me stares angrily at #Cordova

Personally I believe the @europarl_en & @EUCommission could do that and establish as well as enforce an #EC #norm, just as they did with #USBc, #CCS2 and #GDPR!

It's just lack of political #pressure and #will to actually deal with the #AntiCompetitive-ness of #GAFAMs and given #Microsoft got forced into the #BrowserChoice setup in #WindowsXP & #Windows7, I demand the same for #iOS, #macOS and #Windows11 to include not only #Firefox & #Chrome but also #TorBrowser!

#Android needs to be better as in being more than just the "lesser evil" compared to iOS!

@leyrer this actually makes sense, tho I've only seen #Neutrik-Connectors for #USBc, which are basically an #XLR-plug's exterior casing and retention mechanism with said connector i the middle!

Woke up, prepared a #mate and went to my temporary #lab. And passed the last 10 minutes staring at this huge #mess trying to decide if clean it up, burning precious time, or start working on something anyway

Also, I miss a lot of instruments here, I never took out the #bench #powersupply and I'm using an #usbc negotiator to have some voltages... ugly.
I'd really like to have a real #bench where I can leave all the things mounted, connected and organized.

Hello Linux friends. Is there any way to use my computer to test USB-C cables?

I want to plug both ends of a cable into two different USB ports on my laptop.

I want to see the emarkers, resistors, and any other data about the cable. Maybe even run a speed test?

Is there a Linux utility which will do that?

(Yes, I know I can get external dongles. I want to do it locally without buying more stuff.)

Apple dice addio alla porta Lightning: con il lancio di iPhone 16e e la rimozione di iPhone 14 e SE 3, tutti i nuovi iPhone adottano USB-C. Anche il Siri Remote per Apple TV si aggiorna, ma alcuni accessori restano con Lightning #Apple #USBC #iPhone16

The number one thing i've learned from travel is that I want all y electronics to use USB-C, and I want to carry two cables (A>C) and two chargers (slim 2A phone, and 65w laptop). #usbc #travel

Universal Cable from Nomad: Apple Watch charger passes on power

Charging a computer watch from Apple does not have to occupy an entire USB-C port. With a new cable, the connection can still be used thanks to pass-through.
