• USB PD can negotiate pushing up to 240W now at 48V, which is a fair bit.

So if I wanted to wire my home to take advantage of this, supposing I had a house battery on solar, would I have some kind of DC-DC converter from battery to 48V, then cable to outlets with some kind of USB PD adaptor? How much advantage do I get from this, vs using existing 240V outlets + wall wart?

My exposure to Linux is pretty minimal, especially Linux with a GUI, so forgive my ignorance. Even reading over this thread I’m confused as to the issue here.

I don’t need an ELI5, but maybe someone can explain it like I don’t know what Wayland is?

My understanding is that an app should ask the system to display an object at X size, let’s say text at size 14. The system then works out that at the currently selected display resolution, size 14 will be Y pixels big. If needed, the system can scale that based on user preferences- a small, high DPI screen could render size 14 at only a couple of millimetres, for example.

Is the problem that devs are building things in a way that bypasses scaling? For example, hardcoding size 14 text to be Z pixels high?

Hardware should lead. It’s easier to upgrade the software to make the hardware work, then it is to upgrade the hardware when the software decides to support it.

It’s pretty niche. I’d be interested in it as a device for messaging between folks who are out of mobile range - think farmers, hikers, mountain climbers, forestry workers, fire service, etc.

I feel like the level of snark in your reply is… High. It doesn’t make for a pleasant interaction, and it doesn’t help make lemmy a nice place to be.

So, if the image you want to put into your email is not hosted somewhere, what’s the best way to go about this, ensuring compatibility?

Is it possible to put images in an email without them showing up like this?

Got a link? I find it hard to believe that a process like that would stop because of a few windows machines not booting.

The dude raises some valid points.

One way to avoid looking like a fool is to look beyond just the headline- This video starts out by saying they have more Linux installs than windows, across various VMs on SBCs.

I’d spin that slightly, and go with Satisfactory and Dwarf Fortress.

I guess that means I like having a third dimension.

It’s like, gotta be just one line of code, right?

I’m just happy to be doing my part to make copilot worse.

Wanna talk about poisoning LLMs? Just assume the coffee in my repo is in any way good.

I’ll absolutely be asking the IT department- I was just hoping to come to them with a potential solution, rather than a problem.

Looking at that, I reckon it’s easier just to pay for all the streaming services.

At this point, it’s easier to just pay for all of the streaming services.

I think about this in my workplace. I’m not on the IT side of things, but I do have more of an interest than most. And wow, it seems a mess.

I think the problem lies with all these nifty solutions being implemented, and then suddenly it’s someone’s job to tie them all together, which they get halfway through doing before they are called off to do some other task… There doesn’t seem to be an overall architecture, or a coherent model of how information should flow around the business. I’m guessing you come across this a lot? How does that get solved?

Depending on where the breaker is relative to the UPS, of course.

I didn’t realise this was hard. It’s been a hot minute since I added a library, but I’m pretty sure I just clicked the libraries tab, typed the library name into the search bar, and clicked add to project.

What’s it called when you logically expect something to work, but are totally surprised that it actually does?
