HOT TAKE: if you design a laptop with a power supply that looks like this, you should go to jail.

Laptops should be powered by TWO WIRES and the voltage, amperage, and polarity should be WRITTEN ON THE BOTTOM, UNDER PENALTY OF LAW

A laptop power supply. It's a circular 4-pin connector

@foone What a nice PS2 connector you have there! I'm sure it's safe to attach my keyboard

One of my most ingenious hacks in its simplicity was to make a cunty dell laptop power plug that was using third rail as a shitty "buy my overpriced proprietary power supply" rail.

As far as I could tell, it was not drawing any current, it was just a lame "security check". Hacked with a single resistor.

The LEGO giraffe is such an amazing build! Took it out for a photoshoot and brought along the safari off-roader.

It's odd that i "find" this as late as summer 2024, three years after therapy. Thanks for sharing!

@augmentedrobot "as obvious as it seems" isn't optimal wording. How can something seem obvious that you don't recognise most of the time. "As you might think" would've been better. Otherwise great!

Wow, English-only people (or Western languages, for that matter) are so naรฏve. In case you didn't know, the lang attribute is very important in East Asian languages.

@hongminhee@fosstodon.org anything that improves accessibility, be it for disabled or people of different language, should not be a suggestion but mandatory

For those who did not receive the last memo:

THE VOID is for screaming.

THE ABYSS is for staring.

Please do not scream into THE ABYSS. And under no circumstances should you ever stare into THE VOID.

That is all.

@mpesce I have done such and trust, good friend, I am changed for the better. Come with me to the precipice of each and know the echo of the abyss, the sweet vistas of the void, and the fading of your soul. Come and know the glory of nothing.

I suggest when naming a project:

- Don't call it Mercury, everyone has used that name before.
- Don't call it Phoenix, people will laugh when nothing rises from the ashes.
- Use a clear, honest description of what it will do.
- Don't be too honest, Project Run Over Budget And Get Cancelled is hard to get funded

@abstractcode The golden rule of naming things is to never, ever, ever, EVER name anything "Euler".

Tim Hergert

@abstractcode Call it Project Candiru because the visualization of that adventurous little fish and the pain that it can cause is an apt metaphor for this entire cursed boondoggle

Athena L.M.

@abstractcode ran over its budget of $0 and got cancelled as soon as someone saw the name

One I find really helpful (but missing here) is 'set -x', that prints every line during execution.

except `set -e` has bizzare edge cases that can make your script behave in an unexpected way
