Surprisingly enough, shady USB-C multiport adapters can be dangerous in c/technology@lemmy.world

I don't see why a hub shouldn't be able to supply power... it will disable PD modes and limit everything to 5V though

Just make sure to use it on 5V-only chargers. You can glue it to one of them.

This is a great time for the engineer to exert leverage.

"Yes, I can fix it in hours. Here are my demands:

  • $200,000
  • I'll also push a firmware update to all your devices that allows setting any address for the server and exposes all functionality in a Home Assistant API, and you won't ever disable this in current or future devices
  • You'll offer a free locally-connected button/knob device to any customer owning an affected product, or a free service to upgrade the products with on-device controls
  • In any social media posts, press releases, customer communication or interviews regarding today's outage, you have to say that plumbing that requires a server connection is a bad idea

"LEDVANCE" is just a trademark. This is just a plain old fluorescent tube. in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world

So there is a company trying to look German (LEDVANCE Gmbh, Steinerne Furt 62 Augsburg) using the OSRAM logo while actually being 100% owned by a Chinese one? That's a little fucked up

"LEDVANCE" is just a trademark. This is just a plain old fluorescent tube. (files.catbox.moe)
 

This lamp by OSRAM uses the LEDVANCE trademark, implying it is an LED replacement for fluorescent tubes. I repair LED bulbs (and tubes but broken ones are still rare) as a hobby, and while going through bins I have to avoid fluorescent ones (even CFLs in fancy globes). Welp, there goes my yet-flawless way to tell: "if it says LED, it's LED". I really need to shine through most of them! Shining a light through this one reveals nothing inside but a heated electrode at either end (aside the phosphor coating, and a gas mixture including a little mercury vapor), the normal components of an FL tube. LED tubes would include a driver and an LED strip (and usually a PTC at the other end). I mainly use the method to reveal the kinky or twisty tube of "sneaky" CFLs with milky balls.

Also, the company took a while to leave Russia but at least they did

Solar can be non-destructively disconnected and the remote control infrastructure is there

Elon Musk calls for 'arrests' after woman points her finger at a Cybertruck in c/politics@lemmy.world

The Cybertruck would be done for in the blink of an eye If the NHTSA had balls and treated it fairly in response to its disastrous statistics.

Huawei to unveil 1.5 MW supercharger on April 22, chargers at 20 kWh/minute in c/electricvehicles@slrpnk.net
[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

20 kWh/min is a weird unit and actually equals 1.2 MW. 1.5 MW would be 25 kWh/min. Maybe the charging is 80% efficient, which is reasonable for Li-Ion, but that's a weird way to put it.

The department got defunded by Elon Musk so they stuck the arrow on red and went home. Haven't been wrong since.

Seriously, if you're working with analog electronics, 𝛑=√1̅0̅ is close enough. If you need more precision, use active error correction, and in the 21st century that's easiest to do digitally anyway.

John Oliver is being pedantic about Venn diagrams... (feddit.org)

Kamala Harris is known to love Venn diagrams and would be cringing hard at this.

For reference, circles in Venn (Euler) diagrams are sets of objects with a certain property. Select objects are shown inside or outside of each circle depending on whether they belong to the set.
A good example is xkcd 2962:
Hard to imagine political rhetoric more microtargeted at me than 'I love Venn diagrams. I really do, I love Venn diagrams. It's just something about those three circles.'
