Thanks for the correction. I was definitely out of date, what I said was only true during the USB 3 era.
So this is an optional part of the USB 4 spec, but from what I can tell this is required for PCs shipping with Windows 11 and USB 4 ports. Yes, this seems like more manufactured confusion courtesy of USB IF.
That’s a ThunderBolt port :)
That’s fair!
Sure, I use a ThunderBolt dock at home, but being docked 100% of the time is probably not normal.
The article says it’s a stock photo that has been edited with AI.
Interesting point about the KVM. To make it transparent the KVM would need to report the model of a real monitor in the display EDID data. Also if you’re monitoring the device, which is almost certainly a laptop, it would be suspicious if it was plugged in to a monitor 100% of the time.
Cameras? Maybe it’s a UK thing, but the only ones I can ever find on eBay are yellowed G3s for silly money.
2FA by SMS you mean? TOTP codes are generated offline
It’s not a viable alternative to voting labour right now, that’s the point I was making.
Then why not block her from standing months ago? Either get rid of her or don’t. I can’t see how this media shit storm isn’t entirely self inflicted.
And the alternative is?
You can only install 3 self-signed apps at a time, and they expire after 7 days. It’s meant to make it difficult for anything other than development purposes.
Thanks
Terri, when I want your advice, I’ll give you the special signal. Which is me being sectioned under the Mental Health Act.
Not always. It can be perfectly reasonable to implement something in a quick and dirty way to get it out there with a view to either kill it off (eg if it doesn’t get adopted by users) or re-write before it needs to be extended. The key is having the awareness when putting yourself in that position.
Purty. What’a the dock setup? I’d love to replicate it
Exactly this. When you procure custom hardware, you’re paying (a lot) for the vendor to ensure that each unit meets the specifications you provide. If you validate off the shelf hardware like this, there is no guarantee that another batch of the same sku will also meet your requirements. Imagine training on these controllers then a certain batch of them has wildly different sensitivity.
