A buff works pretty well instead of a balaclava and can serve the same purpose and more. Essentially just a tube of stretchy fabric that you can wear around your neck and pull up into a close enough approximation of a balaclava.

Geany. Both npp and geany use the same editor component.

Seems to be bugged in places? I'm seeing fire alerts for new Hampshire when I pull up Minnesota.

How scintilla-ating!

I believe some 8bitdo controllers have this as well.


6 inch extension cords are a blessing I didn't know I needed until I had them. Now every charger takes up exactly one outlet.


I'm ignorant on this topic, can you not just plug a USB dock with HDMI out in any android phone and get a display out? I do it all the time on the previous three pixel phones I've had, but I didn't know that this was limited to those?


USB-C is only a connector/socket - a device having a USB-C socket does not guarantee much beyond being able to plug a USB-C connector into it.

Some USB-C devices only use the port for charging for example. Others might only support USB 2.0.

Getting a display out from something with USB-C socket needs the device to support something called DP Alt Mode.

Note that cables matter too - you can have a DP alt mode enabled monitor and phone, but if you have the wrong cable it won’t work. Welcome to the future.


It is understandable that every cable doesn't have to and shouldn't support every feature. USB cables would be insaney overpriced in that case. For simple charging you don't need a high speed 40gbps cable that can connect an external GPU.

To mitigate the confusion, all simple charging cables should be universally labeled as such and all high speed cables should also have some markings that indicate the maximum speed of the cable or something similar.


It’s understandable, but the reality is that many people like my 82 year old mother will use the wrong cable and have no clue why it’s not working.


> all simple charging cables should be universally labeled as such

labeling hurts profits.


Kde 3 to 4 for me. I still miss you amarok 1.4.10.


But don't you love plasma applets in your media player that now requires a MySQL server instance and randomly deletes your collection metadata???


I just wear mittens that have individual pointer fingers. If my pointer fingers get too cold, I can just pull them in with the rest of my fingers.


Because some people ate Dilberitos.
