HDMI and DP do not carry their signals in the same way. HDMI/DVI use a pixel clock and one wire pair per colour, whereas DP is packet-based.

“DisplayPort++” is the branding for a DP port that can pretend to be an HDMI or DVI port, so an adapter or cable can convert between the two just by rearranging the pins.

To go from pure DisplayPort to HDMI, or to go from an HDMI source to a DP monitor, you need an ‘active’ adapter, which decodes and re-encodes the signal. These are bigger and sometimes require external power.

Well, there is an ‘if true’. And it’s hard to prove a negative.

At least this one seems kinda skeptical about what they read and wants to find the actual statute.

The ‘door’ that blew out wasn’t an emergency exit: it was a plug that filled the hole where an emergency exit would go, if they put more seats in the plane and needed more exits.

From the inside of the plane, it looks like any other row except the window spacing is a bit off. Not an exit row.

Various articles and forum posts suggest that using the emergency/manual releases can crack the windows. It looks like the door can’t/shouldn’t be opened with the window fully raised, and part of the normal door opening process is for the car to lower the windows a few millimetres.

Well that’s not good. There was a recent software update which does electrically pull down the windows incase someone manually releases the door so hopefully that issue is no longer. Unless the window Reg doesn’t get power which can be caused by a lot of trivial things (like the puddle lamp burning out)

While braking suddenly is something that can happen on the roads, it’s still a potentially dangerous maneuver. It’s often better than the alternative (crashing into something/someone), but there’s still risk involved.

If these vehicles are doing panic stops frequently and unnecessarily, that’s a major problem. It’s a common type of insurance fraud, for starters.

I wouldn’t be surprised to find that the computer has a faster initial braking response whereas it takes time for peoples’ feet to fully depress the brake pedal. A shorter time from the brake lights coming on to the brakes being at full service pressure.

It’s pretty common to own a domain but not actually host the email server; doing on-premises email is a security PITA and most providers simply blacklist large swathes of residential and leasable (e.g. VPS) IPs.

Unfortunately, if you get someone else to host your email, they often charge by the account, not by the domain. Setting up a new mailbox is therefore irritatingly expensive.

A catch-all email works well, though, and is free from most of the hosting providers. Downside is you get spam…

Jane@JaneDoe certainly seems more common than mail@JaneDoe.

Ah! Doublethink!

I’ve certainly never heard of a chicken ranch, but plenty of chicken farms.

South Australia had a blackout a few years back because the grid standards were lax on how they should be configured, so the manufacturers had set the defaults overly conservatively.

It’s a learning moment but should be a solved problem.

Any grid stability issues can also be resolved by constructing more synchronous condensers.

Rail at 100mph - it’s in the comment.

Has been a thing since before WW2 by the looks of it.

With software that misuses /tmp, I’m more worried about burning out my SSD endurance than running out of RAM.

Only 15mL and into a syringe, right?

Yeah, I have no idea either, but it’s been around for more than a decade so it should be fairly easy to find a library that duplicates it.

I would be wary of AI-based solutions. There’s a risk of it picking up e.g. satirical/spoof sponsorships as actual ads, and perhaps not detecting unusual ads.

I’m slightly terrified of the day someone starts getting AI to reword and read out individual ads for each stream.

Batteries are expensive, short lived, less efficient, and polluting. They’re better than fossil fuels, but if they can be avoided they should.

Solar also isn’t very practical in CBDs, so you end up generating excess power in more rural areas and transporting it into densely populated areas, like most other commodities.

Indeed, the US has a major lack of fixed-line competition and lack of regulation. Starlink doesn’t really help with that, at least in urban areas.

I’m not familiar with the wireless situation. You’re saying that there are significant coverage discrepancies to the point where many if not most consumers are choosing a carrier based on coverage, not pricing/plans? There’s always areas with unequal coverage but I didn’t think they were that common.

Here in NZ, the state funding for very rural 4G broadband (Rural Broadband Initiative 2 / RBI-2) went to the Rural Connectivity Group, setting up sites used and owned equally by all three providers, to reduce costs where capacity isn’t the constraint.
