lightning cables have electronics in them that are supposed to negotiate all that stuff, thats one reason they're more expensive than usb

yeah, this one came from some piece of conference swag ages ago or something. I would not be surprised if it was incorrectly manufactured.

"cis" has nothing to do with to whom you are attracted, nothing at all. It is about your gender identity either matching or not matching the gender you were assigned at birth. If you were assigned male and you identify as male, congratulations, you are cis gendered. If you were assigned female and identify as male, congratulations, you are trans.

Thanks for the explainer. Appreciate it.
Somehow I never thought about it like that and now I feel really stupid. Drrr.

It sounds like a test case. If NASA can buy rocks, they can sell them.

uh, why is the fire marshall blaming the cable and not the charger?

edit: they go on to actual problems with chargers and a very scary microwave. for the usb thing chargers are not supposed to allow more than the negotiated current either 500mA for normal USB or 5A for USB-C PD. under no circumstance is a USB host/hub supposed to allow more than that, a cable burning up instead of just not working is a charger problem

Amazon used to have all kinds of cheap out-of-spec USB cables where the resistor that's supposed to negotiate current was missing, backwards, wrong size, etc.

yep

quote:

The requirements we’ve outlined are that a company will collect a small amount of Moon “dirt” or rocks from any location on the lunar surface, provide imagery to NASA of the collection and the collected material, along with data that identifies the collection location, and conduct an “in-place” transfer of ownership of the lunar regolith or rocks to NASA. After ownership transfer, the collected material becomes the sole property of NASA for our use.

NASA’s goal is that the retrieval and transfer of ownership will be completed before 2024. The solicitation creates a full and open competition, not limited to U.S. companies, and the agency may make one or more awards. NASA’s payment is exclusively for the lunar regolith, with any awardee receiving 10 percent at award, 10 percent upon launch, and the remaining 80 percent upon successful completion. The agency will determine retrieval methods for the transferred lunar regolith at a later date.

so NASA is paying companies tens of thousands of dollars to take a close-up photo of a rock or a scoop of soil and then tell NASA "this is your property now". NASA does not have any plans to actually retrieve this property in the foreseeable future, they just want to use this as a test case for extending property rights and resource claims to the moon

That's an lol but what was probably produced and sold was just the locking mechanism, not the gate. It would work fine if attached to a solid door rather than like a garden gate type thing. So basically a property manager bought the lock without ever looking at the gate, and their maintenance guy or outside contractor just didn't give enough of a gently caress to bring it up and went ahead and did the job anyway.

Still funny.

Yeah, poo poo like that happens all the time. Maybe the original door got damaged and needed replacing with bars and they tried to keep the old lock on a new door - you can see someone has fortified the poo poo out of the part that connects it to the wall. Installation guy isn't there to solve their security issues he's there to put the lock on, landlord isn't there to solve security issues he's there to provide the illusion of security.

Just the thought of trying to administer serious educational testing by remote gives me a headache. The above is ridiculous of course, but I cannot conceive of a way for it not to be ridiculous without testing losing all integrity. I do not envy teachers, students, or anyone involved. There is no way for it not be a poo poo show.
