  The popular use for power delivery through a display cable is charging a laptop from your monitor; it’s already very common with Thunderbolt or USB-4 monitors. But 480W seems a bit overkill for that.

  Don’t tell him that he can’t do something. Let him figure it out on his own.

  I think the author missed the mark here by talking about game preservation, as many are already pointing out in these comments.

  The real benefit of buying a physical disc/cartridge copy of a game nowadays is the ability to resell it when you’re done playing. That’s actually a huge boon if you buy a lot of newly released games at full price. Reselling them can save you a LOT of money over time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why do transphobes mention pedophiles/compare them to pedophiles when most trans people (as do most people) hate pedophiles?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Because trans people are different, and they’re afraid of different people. So they make assumptions that those people are somehow dangerous. Racism, xenophobia, transphobia; it’s all the same stupid mentality.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is it considered sexist to ask women to smile?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
  1. Context matters. That question is rarely asked by anyone that isn’t a douchebag trying to hit on a woman.
  2. From my understanding, even when NOT in the context of douchebaggery, it’s a condescending thing to say to a woman. So much of society wants to put women in a box where they’re expected to look pretty, smile more, talk less, and listen to big strong men with their big manly brains. Being told to “smile more” is pretty triggering for some (but maybe not all) women who are tired of dealing with that shit.

  Disclaimer: am man, as my username implies.
