Sure. On the other hand, one implementation seems like it would be fairly useless.

Yeah, functionality between these varies, I know some of them can tell you what capabilities the cable’s chip spits out.

An example I randomly picked:

These days a ~10€ gadget can tell you about the electricity going through a USB connection and what the cable is capable of. I don’t like the idea of basically requiring this to get that knowledge, but considering the limited space on the USB-C plugs I’m not sure anything is likely to improve about their labeling.

You’re probably not the only one out there. Maybe someone else would see it differently and pound your head in for less. That frees up the sandwich and anything else in your possession.

Going by your comments, I think you need to know a few basics before you get into people’s suggestions for actual services. Start with this: more or less, “the cloud” is just someone else’s computer. It’s bigger, the connection is faster, etc., but the services you use most likely run on a Linux computer much like the one you already have.

For experimenting with the topic, it would be good to have another computer that you can mess around with and not worry about having a usable machine. If you can cobble together a desktop from old parts it will be enough to start the learning process.

CAD on Linux sucks. Most is made as Windows only, and many people have tried running it through Wine (Bottles) or other janky methods. Don’t even try it.

How is gaming not a problem any more, but CAD is? Shouldn’t the same tools work to enable both?

Solar produces DC, presumably the even higher voltage is preferable to the conversion losses.

I think my last one was about thirty years ago. Or close.

This agreement isn’t worth the electricity it took to transmit the headline.

He’s a sucker and Putin surely knows how to handle him. I think it took a few real talks with other world leaders (and reportedly his wife) to make Trump aware. Must have stung to realize that one of the strongmen he admires so much wasn’t giving him the respect he’s so desperate for.

It’s also difficult to keep third parties from reselling parts to a sanctioned country.

Too much to ask that an Apple AI knows the basic features of the Apple device it’s running on?

Weird hill to die on, but you do you.

OP has one without the switch, so it shouldn’t be the issue. Only happens because a trillion dollar company cannot account for the differences in their handful of devices.

Your Wi-Fi also needs a cable if you want to be pedantic.

The benefit is that there is no overhead involved, in theory you don’t even have to think about charging your phone ever again. When it’s not in use, just leave it on some of the dedicated places around the house and office that provide wireless charging.

If you don’t require it to replace cables it doesn’t need to. For adding some energy to the device while it’s on your desk or nightstand it works perfectly fine.

The efficiency issue is also exaggerated, phones don’t take much power to begin with. Anyone using AC or warm water for convenience is doing much worse in terms of spent energy.

Or something written to pander to him.

It doesn’t relay all traffic, that’s a fallback if a connection can’t be established.

External drives that I keep in my office at work. Also cloud storage.

Regardless of talent kids should always have a backup plan. What if he broke his leg and couldn’t get back into shape? Shit happens.

This way it will not be such a big deal if he can’t make a football career happen.
