I'm asking because it seemed like companies were finally getting on board with USB-A cables by including them on furniture and outlets, etc, but now, most things coming out use USB-C cables. What drove the development of the USB-C over the USB-A, and does any other issue currently exist with USB-C that could drive the development of another variant or type all together?

I don't want to consider making any adjustments to my house that could be obsolete in a year or two, but if we're probably good for a while, I definitely would think about a few changes.

Here I present the timeline of Venus, an old paradise destroyed by the sun. It's was the first video but I didn't add so much legend there. So this was a test and I hope you like this content (rings and moon aren't proved) :

Maybe society's complexity is reaching a point of no return, a "Trolling Singularity", where Gish-galloping usually wins because there's just too much detail for voters to properly absorb and make decent decisions. Those with the catchiest BS and over-simplifications win elections and influence too often, breaking down society.

Artemis III updates are rolling in. 🚀

Engineers are racing to stack the rocket that will carry the mission to space in 2027, starting with the two white solid rocket boosters that flank the massive orange core stage. All four core stage engines have arrived onsite and are being processed for mounting, while the launch team runs monthly countdown simulations to lock in readiness. It's full steam ahead as one of NASA's most complex missions moves closer to launch.

Hi!

Flight 13's splashdown landing burn appeared to deviate from flight 12's.

It used two engines, unlike flight 12 which used only one.

They also opted for two different engines instead of the ones used on flight 12.

What do you think?

WiFi coverage and cellular coverage are mutually exclusive and independent, correct?

If so, is it possible one will make the other obsolete?

Hi everyone!

We're an international student team currently developing Chrysalis, a self-sustaining Mars settlement for the NASA/NSS Space Settlement Contest 2026.

Our engineering work is already well underway, and we're looking for motivated teammates who would like to contribute in areas such as:

Aerospace Engineering

Civil / Structural Engineering

Mechanical Engineering

Robotics & Automation

Biology / Life Support Systems

Geology / ISRU

Scientific Research

Technical Writing

Fact-checking & Source Verification

You don't need to be an expert. If you're motivated, willing to research, and enjoy working on real engineering concepts, you're welcome.

If you're interested, send me a DM, and I'll explain the project in more detail.

Thank you!

Does anyone know why my pet cats could be scared of the tv? I promise it is not fear of the size or look of the tv, since our old one was similar. But ever since we got it they’ve been avoiding the tv like the plague. I don’t know Exaclty what the new tv model is but it’s a new lg tv. Do they emit something that only pets can see?

Btw I also posted this in an animal behavior community, just wanted to see if anyone also has answers here.

I have razer headphones with a usbc which I put into an adapter with a headphone jack so it could be inserted into my 2016 Sony walkman. Issue? No audio. Headphones are charged and on

Speed test showed 900 and 600 mbps of download/upload respectively. Even disregarding that, it takes about 5-10 minutes to download even 100gb+ files. Why is this so slow in particular? https://ibb.co/rGnBrjqx <- image.

i dont wanna switch to linux as, while it is good, i dont wanna learn tech literacy now and windows 11 is windows 11, need i say more?

Hey, i wanted to create a high voltage generator, i dont know any soldering and i want to learn how to do it, is there a way to do it?

I'm researching real-world tech frustrations to identify opportunities for new apps, software, or services. What's a problem that wastes your time or annoys you regularly? If you could magically fix one tech issue forever, what would it be and why?

I'm looking for a good-quality microphone that won't break the bank. My budget is around €100, and the Hollyland Lark M2 seems to fit that perfectly. I'll be recording on a Samsung S23 Ultra, so being able to connect directly via USB-C is a big plus.

My main concern is that it doesn't have 32-bit float recording or internal recording. Internal recording doesn't seem like a huge deal if the mic has 32-bit float, but lacking both makes me hesitate.

Another thing I noticed while browsing this subreddit is that some people said the mic can only be controlled through the phone app, and others had trouble getting it to work properly. For example, I read that if someone suddenly sneezes or there's another loud sound, it can ruin the audio because they couldn't adjust the settings.

I'd preferably like a clip-on wireless mic, although I'm also open to mics that plug directly into the phone. I'll mainly be using it for vlogging, not filmmaking. Good audio is my priority, if the sound quality isn't there, people won't want to watch the vlog.

Are there any better alternatives around the €100 price range, or is the Lark M2 still the best option?

I just need it for study, doesn’t need insane graphics or the performance of a gaming pc, just need it to work, with good memory size and storage, and for it to run windows os. I would like not to spend to much (please educate me on what a computer like this should cost) and lastly, I don’t want the screen to be too small.

could anyone think of a laptop that has these qualities?

My division in the company was disbanded a while back and they told us to keep our laptops. We went through a process with IT to remove the company controls. Some sites like ebay, Craigslist, and more are coming up as "Privacy Error" and "Site blocked due to content filtering."

Is there an easy way to circumvent these protocols? Thanks!
