Hi, I’m sbird! I like to make all sorts of things!

i wonder how many pins could you fit with modern technology on something the size of a 30-pin connector? would that mean you could get more data/power being transferred? (the wire would have to get way thicker though)
- Comment on What happened to cylindrical plugs? 10 hours ago:
oh yeah usb has loads of pins for data. no wonder barrel jacks were never used to transfer data…
oh yeah designing an idiot-proof power plug that can be rotated 360 degrees would be challenging ad well
- Comment on What happened to cylindrical plugs? 10 hours ago:
woah that’s a very in-depth answer. yeah makes sense that cylindrical connectors aren’t actually designed to rotate a bunch. I assume it would be something similar to weird crackling sound when you turn an 3.5mm jack cable too hard?

wdym? I did say the advantage of USB-C was a universal standard. that’s definitely why everything uses USB-C, much more convenient.
My later paragraphs were focusing on a theoretical cylindrical wall plug (hence the comparison with the euro plug, schuko, uk plug, etc). sorry if just “plug” wasn’t clear.

another downside to cylindrical usb plugs would probably be thinness, USB-C ports are quite a bit flatter and suits thinner devices a lot more

oh yeah that’s probably a good idea. When I wrote that section, maybe reviews hadn’t released yet or something. Btw, what is improved with the “ACE” models that make them worth it over the SV06 and SV08?

oh yep, oops, I’ll go fix that

yep, I fixed the typo! I’ve always thought it was spelt Mastadon. weird. I never used Facebook/Instagram/Snapchat/whatever even before I knew about the fediverse. I basically only use Mastodon to keep up to date with tech news through following accounts like android authority. Pixelfed I use just to share photos I’ve captured. Lemmy I use as what it is: a reddit alternative. Never used frendica before, but probably won’t try it since I have no use for it.

oh cool, never knew about that. I’ll add that then! I searched for a little bit and it seems WAY more lightweight than the official bitwarden server.
