What is the most inappropriate connector with enough pins to support USB-C?

I suggest:

An ATX power supply connector

@jonty the script originally had the humans provide processing power for the AI rather than bioelectric power (or something like that) but they simplified it a little for 90s audiences

Absolutely losing it after discovering what3words took control of the whatfreewords domain by arguing that "three" and "free" are indistinguishable when spoken.

wipo.int/amc/en/domains/search

A screenshot of a paragraph from the WIPO judgement. It reads: "Complainant contends that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to Complainant’s distinctive WHATTHREEWORDS trademark as the disputed domain name is aurally and visually similar to the WHATTHREEWORDS mark. In that regard, Complainant further contends that the terms “three” and “free” are phonetically identical and indistinguishable when enunciated."

@jonty they are the everflowing well for people who want examples of why intellectual property is an obscene concept.

This paper starts out amazing and just keeps getting better

arxiv.org/abs/2401.06133

A screenshot of a paper on arxiv, it reads: The possibility of making $138,000 from shredded banknote pieces using computer vision Every country must dispose of old banknotes. At the Hong Kong Monetary Authority visitor center, visitors can buy a paperweight souvenir full of shredded banknotes. Even though the shredded banknotes are small, by using computer vision, it is possible to reconstruct the whole banknote like a jigsaw puzzle. Each paperweight souvenir costs $100 HKD, and it is claimed to contain shredded banknotes equivalent to 138 complete $1000 HKD banknotes. In theory, $138,000 HKD can be recovered by using computer vision. This paper discusses the technique of collecting shredded banknote pieces and applying a computer vision program.
A screenshot from the paper, it reads "The shredded banknotes were then collected. Surprisingly, three paperweight cylinders were opened, and two of them had stones in them". Three pictures follow.
Screenshot from the paper, it reads: "This cylinder only contained 82.57/138 = 60% of the shredded banknote pieces that the label had claimed. Although this issue is not the focus of this paper, it appears that the Hong Kong Monetary Authority has broken the law."
Screenshot from the paper, it reads: "The idea for this paper was discussed with the staff during my visit to the Hong Kong Monetary Authority visitor center. The paperweight souvenir is currently no longer available."

Hello!

It's me again: Your yearly reminder that drives fail, SSDs bitrot, and you probably need to do a review of your backup strategy. You should have at least two copies of anything you care about.

This message brought to you by a second drive in my ZFS array failing while the first one was still rebuilding. Happy holidays.

Last night the building housing @pixelbar hackspace in Rotterdam was completely destroyed by fire. They've lost everything.

If you can spare some cash to help them rebuild: pixelbar.nl/donations/

It turns out you can simply serve a file from a domain to use it as your bsky handle.

So this guy is now S3. All of S3.

@jonty@chaos.social this should have definitely been a TXT record in the DNS rather than a file on a website

(or force the file to be in .well-known I guess, like Lets Encrypt does)

Super handy tool that scrapes the bios and pinned tweets of everyone you follow on Twitter for fediverse usernames, outputting a CSV you can import into mastodon: fedifinder.glitch.me

I love this cyberpunk future where you can connect to the internet from 30,000ft above the atlantic ocean and change your order with the milkman
