  • Power and Data is separated into different wires, the data rate is the capacity of the USB host-to-host data connection.

    But I don't know if it's relevant anymore, USB 2.0 was 480Mbps, but it was released in 2000. Anything 3.0 or newer is going to be minimum 5Gbit/s.

    Police use victims’ rights law to hide from scrutiny
  • As a non-American, it's hard not to see the guns laws as the biggest issues.

    The police act as if everyone is armed, because most are, and everyone else is scared of the police because if they panic they might shoot you.

    Where I live, the cops also act like assholes, but I have never been worried they would pull a gun on me.

  • How would you add it to pfSense, or any other firewall?

    Tor can add it to their service, and all clients that wants to use the Tor service needs to implement the same feature. If Netgate added this to the internet protocols, no other device would be able to communicate with pfSense, unless they also used this special network stack.

  • The technical challenge alone would be difficult to tackle, but it doesn't solve problems with a viable business model.

    Consumers expect production quality that only can be archived with full-time content creators, which is only possible with revenue sharing. Combined with the massive operation costs, you are going to need a substantial amount of ads.

    YouTube with targeted ads has only recently been able to run net positive, a less aggressive business model probably isn't going to be profitable, at least not as a fully free to use platform.

    Wikipedia will tell you what connector can be used with what version, the data rate, and the max. power charging capacity of each version.

  • I also like Niagara, but I feel I'm are kinda forced to pay for the pro version to get all the features I need.

  • You would need to obtain the ID from the person you want to impersonate, and you would be committing document fraud.

    It doesn't stop criminals from trying to make fake accounts, but anyone else is probably not going to risk getting caught verifying an account using a stolen ID.

  • Do you think millennials who grew up with the early Internet and home computers will be as bad with future technology as boomers are with current technology?
  • Are you saying she is computer illiterate to the point she can't work with files?

    Most people just need to know to create files and folders, and not to move, copy, rename, etc. Very few people actually need to understand how a file system works.

    Understanding file system and configuring networks, also isn't something people used to know a decade ago, that is somehow lost on newer generations.

  • Yes, you are right, I wasn't sure what that type of case is called in US.

  • Feature parity
  • You would think a company that touts privacy and security would have good support for the most private and secure OS.

    I don't have any issues with using Proton bridge and VPN in QubesOS.

    I have not tested it with the Fedora templates, but both the bridge and VPN works just fine with Debian.

    Split tunneling works with sys-net-vpn or sys-net for different applications.

  • Australia’s internet providers are ditching email, to the disgust of older customers
  • Saying you don't know how to do it, does mean much unless you actually tried to do it, we are not talking rocket science

    How easy or complicated it is depends on your e-mail and DNS provider, in some cases it can be fully automated, worse case you need to follow a step-by-step guide.

    For fully authenticated e-mail you typically need to create 5-7 DNS records, but the e-mail provider will provide you with the exact text strings you need to copy and paste, and they also typically provide verification that everything is working.

    You can probably pay someone to do it for you, we are talking about 5-10min of work, and it only needs to be done once.

  • Doing so is illegal, the complaint contended, because under American law tax-return information cannot be disclosed to unauthorized parties without consent from the payer. It will be interesting to see if the courts rule that Analytics actually vacuums up tax-return info.

    I'm not a lawyer, not sure if it's called case law, the case seems mostly to determine if it's legal or not.

  • Australia’s internet providers are ditching email, to the disgust of older customers
  • You don't need to run the mail server yourself.

    If you own a domain, you can use DNS MX record to control which mail server is used for the domain. You just need to use an e-mail provider that allows you to use a custom domain name, and set up the domain to use their service.

  • Australia’s internet providers are ditching email, to the disgust of older customers
  • You should also use your own domain, then you can switch between email service providers without losing your e-mails address.

    The biggest issues is that most people don't want to spend even $20 a year on email.

  • Weight loss drugs Ozempic and Wegovy are so popular they’re upending Denmark’s economy
  • Yes, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semaglutide

    Wegovy is approved for people with obesity, or genetics that lead to obesity. It's also not a general purpose weight loss product, it's for people who can't control their weight without medication.
