  Image Based on this pin configuration, there’s only two dedicated power pins, which isn’t very good for large wattages. The rest are twinax signal pairs separated by ground to reduce crosstalk.

  Usually when connectors are designed for power delivery, they’ll use bigger contacts to reduce the contact resistance (signal contacts tend to be small so you can fit more of them in the same space). I’m guessing the original DP connector form factor wasn’t made with such high power in mind, so it would make a lot of sense to use the spare signal pins for power delivery in this case. Running too much power through too few small pins can damage the contacts, by either by instant-welding the contact surfaces or by overheating the connector (see NVIDIA GPUs) ((also high voltages can cause arcing, which even in the best case will seriously degrade any connector)).

  Take all of this with a huge grain of salt cause I just learned this stuff like a month ago, and my department has nothing to do with any of it. Just though someone might find it interesting.

  Hi! I actually work at a major electrical connector company, so maybe I can shed some light on this.

  I have no idea.

  That’s a lot of power! Are there even any devices that use this?

  I used to not understand them, but learning how their internal mechanism functions has helped a lot. Now I can just visualize what’s happening inside the infernal contraption

  There are a lot of steps in converting color spaces to suit people’s individual monitors and in compressing files to be stored on web servers.

  Sometimes rounding errors happen. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨E Ink's color ePaper tech gets supersized for outdoor displays⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The article itself mentions E Ink’s Kaleido 3 technology. I’m not really sure on the semantics of “e-ink” vs “e-paper”, but your take sounds good enough to me. I do know that E Ink makes a product internally (maybe also externally? idk) refered to as “ACeP”, which stands for “Advanced Color e-Paper”, so e-ink definitely classifies as a type of e-paper.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨E Ink's color ePaper tech gets supersized for outdoor displays⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  One of their older color products is a traditional B/W screen with an RGB filter over the top. The problem with this is the filter tends to make everything way darker and muted than it should be.

  They are also working on newer ACeP screens that use multiple colored dye and pigment particles in the same capsule. By swapping the colors around with specific electric waveforms, they can control what the color looks like from the front. The downside is that this color swapping often takes several seconds to produce the correct color ((also the color gamut has a lot of holes))

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨E Ink's color ePaper tech gets supersized for outdoor displays⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hi! Former E Ink employee here. The technology behind color e ink displays is an intricate nightmare of juggling different ink particles through a gel medium (which is actually derived from pig fat btw). It’s a miracle it even works in the first place, and unfortunately higher color accuracy comes at the cost of refresh rate due to all the steps involved. Not sure how in-depth I can go without violating my NDA though lol.

  While the color tech is advancing, it’s still got a long way to go.

  Sometimes a lack of empathy can be due to a hormonal imbalance. You might benefit from some kind of hormonal therapy, if that’s something you want to bring up with a doctor.

  One of my close friends was affected by something like that
