It’s good that you stay home when sick, but just FYI, you can have covid without realizing it. Roughly 1 in 5 cases never get symptoms but are still contagious. That’s one of the reasons lockdowns were so effective. We couldn’t just rely on people staying away when they are sick because they might have it without the sickness. Fuck covid

I guess that is where our opinions differ. I find USB A doesn’t work fine, and is a pain in the ass that I only use because I have to.

If you actually look at those results when searching USB C <thing> you will see that they are nearly all either cheap no name products or come with a dongle (the thing I want to avoid). But back to the customers will change naturally thing, that wont happen until they have the choice. I could see your argument making sense if all manufacturers decided to make every product in both styles for 5 years to see what everone wants to use, but that isn’t going to happen. People will choose devices for what they have, and what they have is nearly 0 USB C ports on everything.

IF 50% of mainstream brand peripherals and IF motherboard manufacturers actually had more than a single USB C port (if any) surrounded by half a dozen USB A ports, people might actually have a choice. Right now its buy USB A or go to dongle hell, which I very much dislike.

If customers really want USB-C, they’ll buy USB-C peripherals and USB-A will drop off naturally.

How? If there are basically no USB-C peripherals, how are people going to buy them to show their support? One side needs to start first so the other will get on board, otherwise people will just stick to USB-A because there is no other real option. Apple is trying, and they are usually the trendsetters in the tech space, but it doesn’t seem like the rest of the market is jumping on board like the usually do.

The people can’t decide if there isn’t anything to decide on.

The more its held onto on devices, the more things will just keep using it. If we had ditched USB A on new devices (desktop motherboards included) companies would start actually releasing USB C peripherals and other devices. Think mouse dongles, keyboards, speakers, etc.

I honestly wish every company would just stop using USB A. So many companies still including it are preventing device manufacturers from going all in on C.

Just speak to anyone who works at an MSP. Thin clients are very commonly used.

Yeeeah, none of those are particularly hostile sounding to me. He just doesn’t like the platform and is stating so. Notice how he didn’t say something like “Anyone who likes BlueSky can fuck right off”. He shared his opinion on an inanimate webpage, thats all.

What about his comment is hostile?

As a Canadian, the idea of a garbage disposal in a sink has always been insane to me. It can be hard to believe that Americans just grind up stuff and send it down their sink drain.

I broke 1 mini USB on my Blue Yeti over a decade ago, but no port would have been able to survive that torque, lol. Other than that, it’s usually rock solid

I would imagine this also prevents canadian influencers from earning money on tiktok. Maybe Canada is trying to limit the control byte dance has over so many Canadians’ income, who knows

You must have shingled/SMR drives. They do not work well with any type of raid array.

My array of 7x12TB drives resilvers in a few hours, as I made sure I got CMR drives

Fair, I also have a brother laser printer and have never had issues. I was in IT Support for many years and boy were printers ever a problem.

Even cheap ear buds / headphones and mice these days seem to be perfectly stable wireless though. They may break physically or just have shitty performing hardware, but the wireless part itself has been pretty good these days

I agree with the wireless being solved part, but printers still suck lol

Canadian English is also tire. We have a good mix of both sides

I guess we do, because I have not seen any window management improvements at all when switching to linux.

Did you last try windows 20 years ago or something? Windows definitely has touchpad gestures and robust window management. Dont get me wrong though, I don’t like windows anymore either. Switched off it a year ago

No, but that is an option if you dont have the hardware to self host it. I have it on one of my vms on my server in the basement.

EDIT: I just took another look at the github repo and it kind of looks like you can’t just selfhost it, but you can, the main readme is just a little confusing. Click on the “Setup your CouchDB” link in the manual section and the selfhosted via docker guide is there.

You should take a look at the selfhosted live sync plugin for obsidian. It’s been working flawlessly for me for the past year.
