This one speaks to me

USB-C stick 4tw.

bonn2 ,

Until you find out that a usbc plug fits inside a usba port and you can mix them up when reaching around your computer. (Don’t test this on anything that is powered on, I did it on accident once and it triggered my motherboards usb overcurrent failsafe)

vodka ,

Did this (on purpose) to HP laptops we were discarding at work (Elitebook G5) and you kill the entire USB-A part of the machine.

10/10 would HP again

fl42v OP ,

Likely RIP PCH (or the CPU, if those 2 are combined). That’s kinda weird they don’t install protection on USB ports 'cause those are like 20 cents (at least judging by those in my t480). On the other hand, HP’s gonna HP

michael_palmer ,

My cheap AM3 motherboard doesn’t cares about USB short circuts. So it’s HP’s deliberate miscalculation.

same with my old lenovo laptop, i shorted both the power and data pins literally hundreds of times while tinkering with microcontrollers, and all it did is disable the ports until a reboot

vodka ,

It is definitely HP just being HP.

Other non HP machines we have are just fine if you short the USB-A ports

HP = Horrible Product

eco_game ,

Duude I tried blindly plugging in a USB-C at the back of my PC ones, I was like “Aha, gotcha” and then my PC just shut down. First came confusion, then I realized it wiggled left and right. That was incredibly scary, luckily ASRock has good protection circuits so nothing happened.

But I sure as hell haven’t blindly plugged in USB-C since then.

Lol ok.

This is getting to Y2K hype levels, and in a similar fashion, will not do anything.

I get Linux people like to fanboy/shit over Windows but surely you’re tech literate enough to realize this is making a mountain from a molehill.

qjkxbmwvz ,

Y2K was a big deal, but it was well funded and successfully dealt with. Wikipedia:

The total cost of the work done in preparation for Y2K likely surpassed US$300 billion…

People are still running Win7 without pause. Don’t kid yourself!

@Rooki@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah Win7 is still good in comparison to win 11

Steam discontinued Win 7 and they told everyone linux would be next, but then why? Linux is up to date

edit: they* i mean Windows 7 users with it, sorry for the confusion!

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

Win7 might have been a good OS, but it no longer is unless it never touches the internet.

Rooki ,
@Rooki@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, i know just because of the security vulnerabilities, but it was for a long time better OS than windows 10 or 11, and because of that i switched to linux,

„No update? So no more forced restart? Neat“

deweydecibel ,

No more forced junk and changes I have to undo? My computer can stay the exact way I like it for a long period of time without Microsoft fucking it up? Sounds like a dream.

Hi.

Due to the embedded insecurity of our system we are forced to upgrade all of Earth’s computers as remediation. While you sit tight for updates, all computers will run at half speed. Once the new chipsets are available, you may purchase them on a subscription basis.

Your desktop is almost ready…

Just finishing up…

Anyone else remember Meltdown and Spectre 2018?

This is a meme about enterprise equipment lifecycles.

Huge corporate entities with machine inventory counts in the hundreds of thousands aren’t going to give a shit about trying to upcycle old hardware - they just want it to not be their problem anymore.

link doesn’t load but one came with my jbl speaker (type-c-to-a with reversible usb-a side)

the middle part is a bit floppy and just slides off to the right side when you push it in

it works surprisingly well and still works even after a year of use

Every time I plugged USB-C into SDCX: perfect height, but why are you moving?

stewie410 , to programmerhumor in How to regex

I don’t know all of the regex rules (look ahead/behind, etc); but it’s honestly not that bad. If you can learn the syntax for a programming language, you can learn the basics of regex…

yogthos OP ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

Sure, learning basics of regex is not that hard, but complex regex expressions can easily become impenetrable. I actually like the verbal expressions idea where you write out the regex using a long form and that gets compiled into the actual regex, e.g:


<span style="font-weight:bold;color:#a71d5d;">const </span><span style="color:#323232;">tester </span><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#a71d5d;">= </span><span style="color:#323232;">VerEx()
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    .startOfLine()
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    .then(</span><span style="color:#183691;">'http'</span><span style="color:#323232;">)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    .maybe(</span><span style="color:#183691;">'s'</span><span style="color:#323232;">)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    .then(</span><span style="color:#183691;">'://'</span><span style="color:#323232;">)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    .maybe(</span><span style="color:#183691;">'www.'</span><span style="color:#323232;">)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    .anythingBut(</span><span style="color:#183691;">' '</span><span style="color:#323232;">)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    .endOfLine();
</span>

That seems like the best of both world approach to me.

stewie410 ,

My brief experience with LINQ has also taught me to prefer this type of thing as well; though I still use regex on a daily basis most of the time, given my environment.

How come you guys aren’t supporting webp in programs. It should be a supported file type in adobe.
