[Windows subsystem] for [executable environment] is the naming scheme. The default is Win32, there’s one for POSIX (practically never used), and Linux runs in another.

This affects the view of posts via the bluesky servers, but not via mirrors or other servers

And the use of content addressing means you can be sure it hasn’t been modified

Several Android manufacturers have their own settings in the OS for battery longevity (automatic schedule based smart charging, or charging limits)

Don’t think it’s native in Android. Charging limits need support in the charging controller chip, plus driver support in the OS.

I use my backup headphones when my Bluetooth headset has run out of battery

Wireguard is most reliable in terms of security. For censorship resistance, it’s all about tunneling it in a way that looks indistinguishable from normal traffic

Domain or IP doesn’t make much of a difference. If somebody can block one they can block the other. The trick is not getting flagged. Domain does make it easier to administer though with stuff like dyndns, but then you also need to make sure eSNI is available (especially if it’s on hosting) and that you’re using encrypted DNS lookups

Your workaround is precisely why I said “more practical”. Any updates to your tooling might break it because it’s not an expected usecase

You don’t want FIDO2 security tokens for that, use an OpenPGP applet (works with some Yubikeys and with many programmable smartcards). Much more practical for authenticating a server.

BTW we have a lot of cryptography experts in www.reddit.com/r/crypto (yes I know, I’m trying to get the community moved, I’ve been moderating it for a decade and it’s a slow process)

Depends on the specific system, but yes it often does

It’s probably signaling / driver device management related. The HDMI switch will often appear to change display properties to the connected devices, which may confuse them

The funny thing is it’s easier to replace salespeople with AI than developers. They should be losing salespeople first!

You have probably not heard of the heckler’s veto

No they just have oppositional defiance disorder. Not recognizing that protecting every individual also means working against prejudiced hate means you’re going to fail every time.

Is it not censorship to allow violent assholes to scare minorities into silence?

It’s not a right to harass people, and you’re not entitled to others’ megaphones

Automating hardware bugs, etc? An LLM is absolutely not the right tool for nanometer scale physics

The ones I’ve seen that go over 45W specifically for the Steam Deck are mini docks with HDMI out and more

That’s just rephrasing what I said. You can plug in too much for a single extension cord even if there’s no chaining. A chain “just” increase the risk.

The risk isn’t usually the device you connect a bad cable to (they have internal limiters), it’s the cable itself. You can easily overload a cable if the extension cord can’t signal the lower limit if it’s own rating and the other cable’s rating.

The USB 2 part is also misleading.

Chaining regular extension cords isn’t a problem by itself, connecting too many things in parallel and exceeding the rated max is a problem (and chaining extension cords “just” increase the risk that ordinary people will decide to connect more than they should, especially because the lowest rated cable in the chain sets the total limit)

That’s an active extension cable, which is essentially a single port USB hub.
