Sorry for the serious post in this thread but be careful as poo poo about buying cheapo USB A to C Cables as I learned about from my Nexus 6p.

https://plus.google.com/u/0/+BensonLeung/posts/HakwCMmd346

quote:

Q : Why is a bad 3A resistor a problem?
A: 3A is bad because all of these cables and adapters are legacy host port adapter cable, meaning the other end of the cable is Type-A plug. The Type-A port and the vast majority of the devices that have Type-A ports were never designed to support 3A charging.

The cable lies to the phone by telling the phone it's attached to a pure 3A charging path, like the C-to-C cable to the OEM 3A charger that ships with the Nexus 6P/5X. The phone will attempt to draw 3A, but that may damage the weaker device you have the Type-A end of the cable plugged into.

Q: If I have a 1A or 2A charger, am I safe?
No, if you have a weaker charger, you are actually at MORE risk because your phone/tablet/laptop may not know to stop at the 1A or 2A limit the charger advertises because of the improper identifier in the cable.

Q: Do C to C cables have the same problem?
No. C to C cables do not have the same problem because they are required to be straight pass through and do not have a pullup built into the cable. If the other end of the cable is Type-C, then as long as you plug into a 3A charger (like the one you get with Nexus phones), you will get fast charging in a safe way.

Q: Can you recommend a Type-A charger? Is <insert some random Type-A charger from Amazon> safe? Is it fast?
I cannot review every charger, but as long as you have a safe compliant cable with a 56kΩ resistor, the phone will limit itself to safe levels of charging for Type-A chargers and hubs.

Whether or not a particular charger works best for your phone in terms of charge speed I cannot say definitively. It really depends on a ton of factors, including the protocols your phone and the charger supports. Phones and charger may be able to support up to 2.4A using various proprietary protocols with a safe cable.

That's not what gaslighting means you hyperbolic dipshit.
I wonder if the reason the console might only have 32GB of hard drive space is because the new cartridge system is going to allow for some free space for future patching, while the internal 32 GB is going to be reserved mostly for savegames and system config stuff.

Bomberman 64 multiplayer was so loving great. Why don't more games let you turn into a spooky ghost and possess your friends and make them kill themselves once you die?

I know other games have let you simply wander around as a ghost like Metal Gear Online on the PS3 did.

I imagine letting people do that in any sort of competitive gaming sense would make some players super angry though, especially if the ghosts could actually gently caress with players still in combat.

it was a poor design console where all it's cost went into a expensive screen. in the end of the day it was the a more expensive DS that had great games spite of it's main selling point.

It's not just Smash players - it's specifically Melee. EVO was a fun time for all present until Melee kids showed up and started booing everything that wasn't Melee and, from what my sources tell me, smelling p bad.

Has Nintendo ever released any piracy figures/has anybody ever tried to quantify it? The The Wii, DS and 3DS are super easy to mod and crack wide open (dunno about the WiiU), but I've never heard anyone make a big deal out of Nintendo piracy.

Of those, the widespread availability of DS flashcarts if the only one that I ever saw "normies" get into.
