    I already have a computer with USB-C - legacy connectors on peripherals force me to buy dongles.

    That’s why I want my computer to have both.

    It’s definitely not as good as it should’ve been, but as long as PC manufactures include as many standards as possible it should play well with whatever standard the peripherals are using.

    Until it doesn’t.

    But I already have peripheral devices with older connectors. This just forces me to buy dongles.

    Also, USB-C can only “do it all” on paper. In practice you have multiple sockets on any given device that support different subsets of the standard. If you’re lucky, the capabilities are printed right on the device or in the manual. If you’re unlucky you’ll have to figure it out yourself.








  • Normalerweise bin ich bei der Thematik “Irgendwer gegen Big Tech” immer auf der “Irgendwer”-seite.

    Hier sehe ichs aber anders. Verlinkungen zu Artikeln (mit Werbung, Abo-Popups und co.) sind mmn gratis Werbung für die Verlage. Das wissen die auch, ansonsten würden sie mittels der robots.txt komplett das crawlen durch (und somit das auftauchen in) Suchmaschinen deaktivieren. Aber dir europäischen medien sind halt gierig und kommen auch fast immer damit durch: Sie bekommen Gratis Werbung und dürfen sogar dafür Geld verlangen. Der nächste streich wird dann sein, Suchmaschinen die da nicht mitmachen und Nachrichten grundsätzlich nicht anzeigen zu zwingen dies zu tun.

    Staatlich sanktionierte Content-Mafia halt.







  • It’s a coin-cell battery. Traditionally it was used to keep the memory that stores the bios-settings and the real-time-clock powered when the PC was turned off.

    By now the bios settings are stored ona different kind of memory, so it doesn’t need power when turned off.

    But the rtc still needs power when the laptop is off as well as other stuff (for example the circuitry that makes the power-button work)

    In the framework it’s also rechargeable, so you can’t just swap it for a cheap one from the store once it runs out.
