Cool tool - C2C caberQU USB-C cable tester. Finally easy to see which cables do data, or just USB 2.0, etc. @geerlingguy love this! I have a growing pile of usbc cables... I even have one that delivers power only. @geerlingguy I have a more basic variant of such a tool that has helped me getting rid of some power only cables. Yours looks more fun though ^^ We've reached the stage where defenders of corporate open source (vs FOSS supporters) are attacking my character and motivations. If arguing on merit doesn't work, attack the person? I think the thing I dislike about Mastodon the most is kind of a core part of the federation: There are so many times I end up on a toot page on some instance that's not my primary instance, and I go to 'retoot' (boost) the thing, then up pops the whole "you have to copy this address, go to your instance, paste it in search, then you can retoot it there" schpiel Too much cognitive overhead, and the workflow is terrible on touchscreen, so I just don't do it. Centralization would solve it... but then that's kind of antithetical to the whole fediverse. Also I remember there's a Mac client for Mastodon now (Ivory for Mac), need to try it out. @geerlingguy To be honest though, the sheer fact you can do it at all is kind of amazing all in itself. @geerlingguy https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/registerProtocolHandler I built a computer you plug into your graphics card: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9dItRUjQ0k And here's a blog post, for the more text-inclined: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2023/i-built-special-pcie-card-test-gpus-on-pi 12
