- Comment on What happened to cylindrical plugs? 2 days ago:
Usb c has 24 pins. A typical barrel / stereo style jack has 2 - 4. The connector would have to be absolutely huge to carry the number of wires.
Power plugs are similar problems. You can’t risk the pins crossing over each other and shorting out. You don’t care about that on your headphones due to the low voltages. Wall plugs need to be fully isolated and safe.

- Comment on Will AI Startups End Up Like Blockchain Startups? 6 days ago:
I think there’s a lot of grunt work artists than you might be aware of. My last job was at a video game studio and it was kinda eyeopening the amount of generic story boarding / art work they would send over to Eastern Europe / Asia to be done for cheap.
The visible side of the industry (what you’re talking about) yeah I agree, but AI is slowly going to pick away at the lower skill levels until only experts are really useful. How does a junior become an expert in that world?
- Comment on Will AI Startups End Up Like Blockchain Startups? 6 days ago:
how will it change the average person’s life in 1 - 3 years?
To be blunt, it’ll probably make them worry about losing their job. AI can’t do everything and it does a lot of stuff pretty shitty, but so do a lot of people.
- Comment on Will AI Startups End Up Like Blockchain Startups? 6 days ago:
A lot will fail yes, but I think there’s actually a lot of value in AI and many will succeed. Blockchain has always been a solution in search of a problem, but AI actually can help in a lot of ways.

I was intrigued by those things a while ago but the subscription + cloud BS was a no-go for me. That aquarium chiller is a cool idea, but not many of those covers on ebay.

- Comment on Why are headhunters or recruiters so laser focused on getting my resume? 2 weeks ago:
So they can take it, modify it to fit the job description they’re trying to get a commission on, get you in, collect their commission, then disappear.
Their commission is often 25% of your yearly salary.

We saw a spike of users for the papaya snark community when they were banned off reddit, I think it’s that.

With the way the bricks are laid, wouldn’t it distribute the weight across the entire base?

- Comment on Whats your favorite domain extension? 3 weeks ago:
Valid, but it’s run by a group in the UK that runs several of the popular ones. It’s prooooobably not going anywhere.

Sh for shell scripts.

I don’t think we have any way to know.
My dog definitely remembers and gets excited about places when going back after years. Does he think about those places otherwise? Probably not

- Comment on When this post is 1 hour old, lemm.ee will go down for an upgrade to 0.19.7 3 months ago:
FWIW we’ve seen some odd federation issues too. Posts on remote instances not making it to us, but nothing in the logs to indicate a problem.
Seemed to start around the time 0.19.7 came out, but that migsht be a red herring. (we haven’t upgraded yet)
- Comment on Update on my plant. Unfortunately it might be sick, it has been getting worse every since I brought it home 3 months ago:
Do you have one of those moisture meters? They’re on amazon for $20 or a local garden store will typically have them. They’re great for checking the moisture of the soil deeper down.
Just don’t leave them in the pot or it’ll ruin it. Stick it it, check it, pull it out.
- Comment on How to fix this glass that is no longer in place? 4 months ago:
Use a knife to score the existing silicone and then pull the glass out. Use a razor blade and knife to clean up the existing silicone. Clean the surfaces well.
Get silicone bathroom caulk from home depot. Put some in the channel, put the glass back, put more along the seam. Use a wet finger to smooth it out.
Tape it in place while it cures and you’re done.

Here in BC you can call 811 to talk to a nurse and get advice on things like this, maybe your state has something similar?

Nice job!
Just an idea: I bet you could probably squeeze in a disassembled usb hub to make it easier to get those front ports.
Something like a.aliexpress.com/_mNBftvQ

- Comment on Nintendo filed a lawsuit against Pocketpair, Inc. 5 months ago:
Is that the wrong link? This seems totally unrelated to Pokemon in boxes, and is more about multi console character storage systems.

Gotta wait until palworld has made a bucket of money for Nintendo to point at, claim damages, then try to take.
