It’s also safer, because you’re not connecting something that might carry data to the USB port. Wireless charging cannot transmit data. USB can, so delivering a virus or something that way isn’t out of the question, where it would be harder to do that over wireless charging.
That doesn’t sound correct, considering the amount of wireless chargers that will take 10W, but can only deliver half that to the phone.
I’m surprised that you can wirelessly charge like that. In my experience, wireless chargers are really finicky about positioning, unless they have some multiple-coil trickery going on, which a lot of battery pack chargers generally don’t. Having them in a pants pocket seems like a really good way to throw that alignment off.
On my S5, there’s a little flap that you had to open and close to maintain the IP67 rating. Constantly opening and closing it was a recipe to breaking it off, where wireless didn’t put that kind of wear in.
With my newer phone, it’s easier to keep the cable with a battery pack to charge when out and about, and charge wirelessly at home, since I generally don’t need it done with any great speed, and it saves having to buy/replace another cable, or forgetting to unpack and take it with me.
Qi charging is also pretty standard, which is also good if I have a few devices with different cable needs, but mutually support the same wireless charging standard, since I can put an iPhone and an android on the same pad, without having to swap cables back and forth.
Although most phones made in the past decade will detect that, and suspend wireless (and possibly wired) charging if the phone’s circuits are heating, until the temperature drops.
Except that the numbers are also prone to change, like if it’s been stolen. They’re technically not supposed to be an identification code anyhow.
Especially since this is what was caught. Considering how brazen it is, and how those involved are trying to worm out if it, you have to wonder if there’s similar or worse going on that flew under the radar because a journalist wasn’t accidentally roped in.
Polygraphs aren’t scientific anyway. All you’re really doing is seeing if they’re nervous or not.
Making someone nervous by threatening them with a polygraph is arguably more effective than the polygraph itself.
Could you not ask the pharmacist to put it in a child-unsafe container instead, in that case?
Why though? A childproof lid isn’t that difficult to open.
Yes, was poking fun at Ed’s only error message being a relatively unhelpful ?.
?
It’s also self explanatory, which is great if you’re new.
Ed and Vim are basically arcane by comparison.
Does it count as user error if the user has to micromanage the compiler?
?
They’re symptoms, not the problem. Even if they were vanished from existing by will of a djinni or something, another would just take their place.
Out of memory/overheating in 60k rows? I’ve had a few multi-million row databases that could fit into a few gigs of memory, and most modern machines have that much in RAM. A 60k query that overheats the machine might only happen if you’re doing something weird with joins.
Plus a lot of reads is nothing really, for basically all databases, unless you’re doing an unsmart thing with how you’re reading it (like scanning the whole database over and over). If you’re not processing the data, it’d be I/O bottlenecked.
“Software Engineer” was literally right next to it.
If they went into uni straight out of high school, they could. A lot of Bachelor holders would be around that age, since they start at 18.
Surely that would very a lot depending on where they get their energy from? Even the most measly household solar panel can deliver 10W to a charger, in which case, the energy impact would be negligible.
