All my gadgets use USB-C. Bluetooth headphones, eReader, laptop, printer, power bank, 360 camera, they all charge via USB-C.
Hell, even my neck cooler runs off it.

Has anyone here read the book? I enjoyed the film and wondered how they compared.
FireStick is somewhat hackable. You can sideload Android apps onto it. For example, I got Apple Music running on it https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2023/06/yes-you-can-run-apple-music-natively-on-your-android-firestick/
You don’t have to subscribe to Amazon Prime to use the other TV services. You can also install Kodi if you want to play back local media.
The FireStick will use USB power - so you can use your TV’s USB ports rather than a separate plug. It also has an Ethernet adapter - I think only the more expensive Apple devices use Ethernet.
“Kill It With Fire” which is a great look at dealing with legacy computer systems.
“Lessons In Chemistry” which is a delightfully draft novel about fifties feminism.
Spent the weekend watching my wife grind through all the TOTK side quests.
Meanwhile I plowed through two ebooks.
Win for both of us!
Just got a new solar battery installed, so I’m going to spend some time poking it and making sure it’s working. COME ON SUNSHINE!
The drive itself will work with any processor. If all you have is data on there, it will work.
Or do you mean you want to swap the drive which has the operating system on it?
Six years ago today we launched https://openbenches.org/ - it is a crowdsourced map of memorial benches from around the world.
Uses OSM for displaying the maps and letting uploaders pick the exact right spot.
There’s an API and data-dump so it can be incorporated into OSM - but our data isn’t always as precise as needed. I’m still trying to work out a way to map an OSM bench ID to our ID.
If you’re out mapping and spot a memorial bench, please do submit a geotagged photo to our site :-)
Not that I know of. And I don’t think a Lemmy user can block (for example) a Mastodon user.
What?! That boggles my mind - and would probably break my brain.
Cheers! It is actually a very lightly customised version of Atkinson. See https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2022/08/an-update-to-the-atkinson-hyperlegible-font/
Oooof! Yeah, I don’t think I could cope with that.
I used mine to inspect the solar panels on our roof - https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2017/03/inspecting-solar-panels-using-a-drone/
I wanted to see if they were covered in bird shit. They weren’t.
Note when I did this, it was legal to fly a drone that close to private property. I don’t think it still is.
Could be worse. Could be a Nokia T9 predictive text input!
I think that’s a lovely idea - which doesn’t work in reality. At some point someone will need to be cast out. That can’t be done by peer pressure, because scammers, spammers, and griefers don’t care about that.
Individual blocks also don’t work because they leave unaware users open to being abused.
Sure, you could have a town council vote on a block, or have software which blocks a user for all if they have been blocked >=N times, but that’s still moderation.
One underrated thing that keeps the village going is the police. Or, in our case, the mods.
I know, I know! Everyone hates the mods - with their over-inflated egos and unaccountable practices and their capricious banning of innocuous subjects.
But life without the mods means a village where rioters run rampant.
Not everyone has the same level of mobility that you do.
Incidentally, do you get off your arse to change the volume on your TV?
I loved teaching Scratch. And I’ve written about DRAKON - https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2023/04/why-arent-there-more-visual-programming-languages-an-ode-to-drakon/
I think they’re useful for building algorithms. But the tools themselves aren’t powerful enough for anything too complicated. I hope that changes though!
To be clear - they also work with data transfer (well, except the power bank and neck cooler).
I copy ebooks to my reader over USB, transfer photos off my camera, and print photos - all via USB-C.
