Wall voltage = 120V and Wavy.
Old USB = 5V and Not Wavy.
These adapt the two. They’re also known as power supplies. The bricks in laptop cables are also power supplies, they can just handle more power. Modern high speed USB just has a whole conversation with the plug where they agree on whether to use Not Wavy 5V, 9V, 15V, or 20V.
If it was state funded by a functioning state I would agree with you, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Russia was kicking these guys a modest living to undermine American social media companies.
I mean, I got banned personally by Dessalines from lemmy.ml for mildly suggesting that a meme felt like it was a Chinese op designed to provoke in-fighting in western countries.
Not rudely, not aggressively, literally just questioning whether it could be in the comments below.
That doesn’t mean it’s not also funded by China or Russia. They’ve been able to work on Lemmy for a while without much public funding.
Oh I would not trust software from a developer who does not understand the importance of MFA.
I mean, there’s probably nothing wrong with it, but that’s such a basic security issue that I would have zero faith they built the rest right.
The developer is kind of just a sack of shit. I’m 90% sure Lemmy development is funded by either Russia or China, and I suspect Russia.
Yes, now apply the theory in that paper to a fucking rainbow with a white outline against a black background.
If you can’t bring yourself to admit that you were pearl clutching and making up nonexistent problems then just stop replying.
The problem we’re talking about is a UX one. The ability to quickly distinguish a visual sign / interface.
And I’m both an actual electrical engineer and a software engineer, I understand the distinctions between the two very well.
But do please cite your ergonomic data showing that rainbow crosswalks are hard to see, or you can admit that you’re just baselessly pearl clutching.
As someone who deals with UX and the psychology of recognizing and distinguishing things, I can tell you that you know jack shit about the situation here, and working in a field close to ergonomics is evidently not the expertise you think it is.
When you’re that salty, all the time, it blinds you to any situations that aren’t salt filled.
Louis sucks ass as a YouTuber. He likes to hear himself rant. That’s literally his only quality.
Climate change is going to influence everything in our society for the worse: politics, economics, living standards, everything, including the amount of resources available to use for research.
Cite the numbers that make you pessimistic.
If you don’t have numbers, then keep your crystal astrology bad vibes to yourself until you have something to back them.
I’m fucking sick of leftists acting like being moody and pessimistic is a valid political stan stance that does anything.
Climate change is the only true existential reason to feel that way.
Everything else is just over focusing on a short term dip. On average things are getting better over the long term. The British Empire collapsed, and so will the American one, and the world will keep on turning and progressing.
Hell kids born these days may have legitimate cures for most forms of cancer by the time they’re old. We won’t.
Lol I was going to say, you don’t actually have to change the name, you just have to say it the right way for it still lto apply to parenting.
The direct action protest group ‘Palestine Action’ broke into a UK air force base and spray painted some slogans on some planes.
The UK government decided to prove American conservatives right about them having free speech issues by labelling the organization a terrorist organization (same level as ISIS, Boko Haram, etc) which makes showing support for them a criminal offense for supporting terrorism, with protesters holding Palestine Action signs facing years of jail time.
The UN has called the move a gross over reaction and violation of human rights. Since then there have been hundreds of arrests of people protesting in support of Palestine Action.
This logo looks very similar to the Palestine Action one.
Sort of, he was arrested and then de-arrested, and then began selling the shirt online.
The opening of the wikipedia article on feedback systems:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feedback
The notion of cause-and-effect has to be handled carefully when applied to feedback systems:
Simple causal reasoning about a feedback system is difficult because the first system influences the second and second system influences the first, leading to a circular argument. This makes reasoning based upon cause and effect tricky, and it is necessary to analyze the system as a whole.
Almost all real world systems are feedback systems, from biology, to politics and government, to interpersonal relations. Yet people’s instinct is almost always to try and reason through things using cause and effect when that’s often not helpful. When people realize this, they often say 'oh it’s a chicken and egg thing’s or ‘oh it’s impossible to say who did what’ and throw up their hands and give up. But it’s not impossible to analyze feedback systems, nor to figure out relative contributions to them, nor to figure out ways to break out of cycles. But you need to impartially examine the system as a whole, you can’t just try and play the blame game.
These days that’s more common on Lemmy.
That seems absurd, we’d never build a civilization if everyone was at this level of dysfunction or anywhere near a majority, nevermind one with such rigid specific rules.
Yeah, we would.
A) ADHD does not prevent most people from living a normal life
B) most of human society throughout history has not required the level of planning and attention that modern society does
C) ADHD does not matter if you’re a slave or indentured servant who’s going to get beat if they don’t do their job
D) ADHD symptoms tend to lesson with exercise and hard physical labour
And recent surveys have as many as 25% of people suspecting they may have undiagnosed ADHD:

Precisely, there’s a reason that these days, books made for libraries are made to an entirely different standard than books sold at your local book store.
Technically they are power supplies.
A transformer can be a power supply, but on it’s own it can only transform AC power between two different voltages, so it can only be an AC:AC power supply. The number of windings on one side vs the number on the other, will determine the ratio of your voltage change.
But a pure transformer AC:AC power supply is not particularly efficient. A transformer’s power rating is based on the overall number of windings it has, and on the power frequency.
So if you’re lowering the voltage, it’s more efficient to use mosfets to chop up your voltage at a very high frequency, then run that high frequency voltage through a smaller transformer.
And with DC power supplies, they not only need to lower voltage, but also smooth it out to a single unchanging value, and this results in an even more complex circuit where you first rectify the wave so that it’s all on one side, then you chop it at high frequency then transform it, then smooth it out.
So transformers are still involved, but typically they’re just one part of a larger whole with these.
