But it’s not really a failure of the cable (typically, I know there are edge cases but I don’t think I’ve run into them recently). In a perfect world, it possibly plugging in means it works as expected I guess, but I think it’s a better tradeoff to expect users to know that some devices require a bit more power, and have a plug that still works universally. “This charger doesn’t have enough power” is easy enough to be understood by a 90 yo I would think.

Chargers should be labelled with the output they provide (mine are), but you are right, devices probably should be labelled better with what they require.

Chin up, Nederlander. I don’t think you’re ridiculous.

People can hate all they want on USB-C with all these details that may be technically true, but the only issue I’ve had in years is with chargers varying in power output and occasionally that means I try to charge something that either takes forever or never charges. It’s an edge case and I consider it a charger issue, not a cable one…

Life is definitely simpler now with USB-C being pretty standard, and Lightning cables can burn in hell. Those anti-standard bullshits have caused me to buy a dozen of them for friends and test devices (I’m a web dev) and yet I’ve never owned a mobile Apple product and never would. Fuck Lightning – cannot possibly say it enough. I’m glad the EU agrees.

Beautiful

If snide comments could read, they’d be very proud of themselves right now

Both sides are the same. Yeah, sure. Keep pushing that narrative, it’s never hurt anything before except everything

Except the problem is not with it being digital. I think the only issue people have is being confused about where to tap, since that is different between machines and it’s not always clear. I guess I could memorize a few different common styles but again that’s not related to it being digital.

Not op but ok

BOoOoOOoTThH sSSsSsSsiiiIIidESSsssSS

How’s it feel to be one with evil?

Thanks. Yeah I hadn’t noticed this issue but I feel like I will now lol

Well it’s not a given unless you’re cynical. Which I am now :/

Did it? I love the switch one pro controllers I have. They have been great since day one

WWIII is my guess. But whatever it is, it will almost certainly be our own doing. We’re in much more of a hurry than nature is

Yeah, we can.

Hmm, I recently had to deal with switching pharmacies (in the US) mid-prescription and I didn’t really have any trouble. Went from CVS to a family owned shop.

People on lemmy are often polarized between “the problem is all the democrats” or “the problem is the voters”. I think both are to blame. There are definitely more voters than democrats though.

Outliers exist, yes.

Right, you can only blame groups that are smaller than others.

They only have to wake up tomorrow, pluck the lowest hanging fruit and never shut up about it for 10 years and the GOP would crumble.

Except this only works on right wing morons
