Maybe. We should be attracted to people different to us for the healthiest babies

I just watched the megalag videos on the glasses — the first episode of three — and the claim is they cut out confusing areas of colour that abnormal chromats see.

So if it worked, it only works for people with abnormal versions of one of the three normal colour vision sensors, and only if their deficiency is in green, and then only if it’s the correct degree of deficient

But it doesn’t work anyway.

The glasses help people see the number in some sheets in the colourblindness test, but hide the number in others. Their colour blindness would appear slightly worse than reality.

If they had worked they might have done so by some sort of contrast enhancement or edge detection, but I don’t think either are possible with just optics

Loads of people are suspicious of coupon schemes. They look dodgy. It’s no wonder that people come along after one of these schemes turns out to actually be a scam to say “see, I knew these things were bad” with the only evidence being that they never subscribed to it

Their fault is they claim it was this one specifically

It’s a parody conspiracy theory, in the same way as the flying spaghetti monster was a parody religion. People participated “eyes open” (aware it was parody, doing it as a joke) others adopted it “eyes closed” (believing it)

I came here in the Reddit migration too, right after the API thing. I like that this place is still small - it has the community feeling that you only saw in Reddit in small, focused subs

You’ll probably need them for old devices. But generally you’ll just need a USB A to C cable.

Why does it need to change? The older connectors were too fragile, and needed to be too big of that were to support fast data. USB C can do all of the current data standards and is a pretty robust connector

You may want a newer charger anyway in order to charge faster

Googling for it, my phone (pixel 9 pro fold) has USB 3.2, so it shouldn’t be able to drive a DP display

Likewise, I have a speaker thing (w-king brand) that will only charge off USB A to C, and will not charge off any USB C power supply

So add infrastructure every town and each 200km (120 miles) on the highway to robotically swap batteries and charge the stored batteries (and so many stored batteries if it’s storing enough for 500 cars an hour

As opposed to building chargers with standard connectors which can charge a car in 15 minutes enough to reach the next charger, 30 minutes to 80% (which is generally the limit in high traffic chargers)

I have seen the cages of propane tanks for barbeques and boggle at the idea of the number of 50 to 100kWh batteries a swap station on a highway would need to store

I agree with you. I charge at home weekly. I expect to have enough solar soon that I’ll charge whenever the car is at home and the sun is up

When doing long (2 days of driving) trips I haven’t had any trouble getting a charge. High speed DC chargers had few queues (I had to wait 5 minutes once) and motels have usually given me parking near a power point. I’m in Australia so over night gives me 8 hrs * 240V * 10A = 19.2kWh which is usually enough to get to the next fast charger

Swappable batteries might be nice but I doubt they’d be profitable (with home charging) with most just using it to swap end of life batteries for better ones

They’d be ok for people living in apartments or otherwise with no charging at home, but better would be charging in carparks at work

I run teams in Firefox and it’s fine. Audio and camera are stable for hours. You can use a private window to test if it’s your extensions

WebEx also has audio settings which teams doesn’t
