USB A doesn’t support at the fancy high-power PD/PPS features.

I think some will still understand it, although I can’t remember the last time I heard anyone use it.

Skrilla is from Philadelphia, where the police apparently don’t use 10-67, but it’s “Report of Death” in some areas so this still seems the most likely explanation.

Also from the article:
If the worst happens and the dome is punctured, 2,000 tonnes of CO2 will enter the atmosphere. That’s equivalent to the emissions of about 15 round-trip flights between New York and London on a Boeing 777. “It’s negligible compared to the emissions of a coal plant,” Spadacini says. People will also need to stay back 70 meters or more until the air clears, he says.

I learnt it as BODMAS (brackets, orders, division and multiplication, addition and subtraction).

Have you seen the footage of scientists feeding them from their own arms? Nooope, not for all the tea in China.

I’m currently living somewhere hot enough that the little pricks are a bother all year round.

The founder was asked to provide a subscription level for individual domains and he said no and pointed people at the suggestion to occasionally pay for a month instead.
HIBP subscriptions can be taken out monthly and cancelled at any time. If the appearance of your domain in a breach is infrequent, you can take out a one month subscription then immediately cancel it after performing the search (the subscription will remain active until the entire month period has elapsed).

If it takes me on average 5 minutes to login and change an email address, it would take me about 1 days, 18 hours to change them all! It definitely looks worth it for others who want to start using aliases.

Perhaps that message only shows up if some of the results are from the paid lists. For me, I don’t see anything listed beneath, even though 34 addresses match, so I guess nothing’s in the free lists.

It’s entirely possible that my best fix is just to delete my haveibeenpwned account and just react when I see spam, but where’s the fun in that?

- Comment on E Ink goes mobile with budget eye-friendly smartphone 1 month ago:
A friend used to have a phone case that had an e-ink display and it was great for handling notifications and of course reading webpages and ebooks. Something more integrated (it just mirrored the normal screen in e-ink) could be brilliant.
I’m assuming that the reason the colour screen is lower resolution is the processing power required; the Kobo Clara’s colour version has twice the processing power for the same resolution, but still isn’t as crisp because of the grid necessary for how it works. The article says Bigme has their display tech, so we’ll have to wait to see what the reviews say.
- Comment on E Ink goes mobile with budget eye-friendly smartphone 1 month ago:
There is this paragraph:
Bigme promises that the 3,300-mAh battery will “maintain a charge for a remarkably long time” – though doesn’t actually specify how long that might be. You’ll need to plug in more often if you make use of the 36-level front light when strong ambient light isn’t available.
Vague, but that’s not the author’s fault. Aside from GPS, games are the other thing that uses loads of battery and you won’t be playing many graphically demanding games on that display - but we want numbers!
- Comment on Your Kindle Can Finally Be Jailbroken Again. [22:00] 2 months ago:
Hmm, I do remember installing that at one point - it might be that I needed to extract a key from it to configure the plugin. I was on Windows then so it wouldn’t have been too hard.
- Comment on Your Kindle Can Finally Be Jailbroken Again. [22:00] 2 months ago:
The fact that they fixed the jailbreak just as I was about to do it was part of the reason I moved to Kobo (went with the Clara BW and am very happy with the upgrade).
- Comment on Your Kindle Can Finally Be Jailbroken Again. [22:00] 2 months ago:
I have the DeDRM plugin set up on Calibre and it’s either it’s working perfectly or everything I’ve bought from Kobo didn’t come with DRM (I think it’s the first one).

I used to listen to the soundtrack (since it used to be on the CD as standard audio tracks) and never realised in my foolish youth that it was from actual musicians with whole albums I could check out.
- Comment on F-Droid and Google's Developer Registration Decree 2 months ago:
Yeah, I was confused too. Perhaps they didn’t see any problem and instead of realising the page had been edited after I commented they just downvoted.
Back to that article, I wonder if they were trying to add links into their footnotes and that broke stuff. They seemed to have fixed it by deleting them all, but that’s quite a lot of content gone.
E.g. after pairing up the broken footnotes with their endings that stayed in the main text you can see these:
How many F-Droid users are there, exactly? We don’t know, because we don’t track users or have any registration. “No user accounts, by design”: https://f-droid.org/2022/02/28/no-user-accounts-by-design.html
‘> “Sideload” is a weird euphemism that the mobile duopoly came up with; it means “installing software without our permission,” which we used to just call “installing software” (because you don’t need a manufacturer’s permission to install software on your computer).’ — Pluralistic: Darth Android: https://pluralistic.net/2025/09/01/fulu/

The author seemed to struggle with their CMS, but you can get the gist.
