Is it because woman? Like holy shit, Biden was an old fuck and still won last time. Hillary didn’t win. Wtf, is it really because woman!?

Wizards of the Coast has felt this on its one skin

What?

Either the article is also ai, or the editor is shit

far different size.

Size first. Power electronics don’t have the same miniaturization benefits (or expectations) for laptops as they do for phones. Some factor here is that there’s just a different convention for these two different types of devices.

larger bricks that have separate mains cable which plugs into the brick

There’s a manufacturing benefit having one circuit where you can just change the mains cable for length or country adaptor types. High probably the wall warts have the same ability, but it isn’t as obvious if the plastic parts are press fit.

Why is that so?

Some laptops could run off of 65 w, but only the very basic types. An Alienware m18 R2 gaming laptop has a 280 w adaptor and it isn’t close to the same size or price as a phone adaptor.

Same for phones. 65 w is pretty beefy for a phone charger. It will come down to the requirements of the device.

Generally speaking, a charger can have more amps than the phone or laptop requires and that’s usually okay. The voltage is what you have to be careful about. 5v is kind of a common electronics safe voltage. Good chance all these “universals” chargers are 5v.

Again, something like an Alienware m18 R2 is going to require more than 5v.

Or is it simply cheaper to manufacture while being sold for the same price?

Good chance of that. Much easier to price fix on big warehouse type online marketplaces.

Maryland plans to rebuild the Francis Scott Key Bridge in just over four years at an estimated cost between $1.7 billion and $1.9 billion, a state transportation official said

This article buried at the end:

The settlement does not include any damages for the reconstruction of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. The State of Maryland built, owned, maintained, and operated the bridge, and attorneys on the state’s behalf filed their own claim for those damages.

A confidence game too many people believe in

AI and the discussion around it doesn’t live in a vacuum.

Occasionally you’ll get shit opinions like this. Easy slutty greek frat bro strawmen that’ll sleep with anything that moves and then dodge child support payments.

We all have to remember the true Chad argument against AI is that it’s built on degenerate theft and corporate soulless shills. AI is the Shikrelli of creativity.

The ship is sinking, flex tape isn’t enough

What To Do?

Regulation. Vote and support things like net neutrality, days ownership, privacy, and breaking up tech monopolies.

They crave the algorithm

Defederation is pretty effective

Has no one caught that this is square hole? This is one of the most beautiful blender models I’ve ever seen.

Bahahahah

Except out doesn’t have to be that way. Bringing back anti monopoly regulation would prevent more consolidation.

Here’s the context I think

The CEO already talked about, and then walked back after backlash, a subscription mouse. Sounds like they’re going forward without saying anything this time.

@RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world time to drop all Logitech gear and never buy from them again.

Or they think the consequence won’t apply to them, and they’re probably right. The nz compounds are real.
