They do make special shielding for USB and other ports, but most manufacturers don't use them because generally people aren't going to stick foreign objects into their computer for internet points.
Often times, those "public chargers" you sometimes see in airports and such have that shielding installed on the ports (though you should never use public USB ports to charge your devices, for a dozen other reasons).
You can short-circuit basically anything with exposed contacts and a paper clip. This isn't specific to Chromebooks.
Pretty much any device with a USB port can be catastrophically short-circuited, because most USB ports are capable of supplying some amount of power. You can even buy "USB Killers", which look like a thumb drive but will fry the internals of whatever they get plugged into.
It does a pretty poor job explaining itself, at all. Ironically, it probably would have behooved the author to have used an AI to proofread this.
The hype did not magic the jobs into existence. Because this was all part of marketing chatbots to the enterprise. They wanted companies to believe in the magic of chatbots.
This is a full paragraph from the article. What the fuck is this trying to say? Who is "they"? Literally no questions were answered by this article.
Same, I hardly ever look at my phone anymore during the day. I just glance at my notifications from my watch, if it's not important I swipe it away and if it's something I need to follow-up on I'll just leave it for later. Then I go right back to whatever I was doing.
I get distracted a lot less these days, and my phone gets insane battery life now. My Pixel 6 is several years old now, but it still regularly gets 48+ hours of life because of how little wear I put on the battery.
It would imply that guy thought it was a social thing. Y'never know, maybe he was a weirdo even then. He could've been the proto-creeper whose descendants haunt public restrooms to this day.
Light intrusion isn't the only factor, there's also the temperature. It's getting warmer earlier, so your AC is likely turning on earlier. You're hearing the motors and wind and feeling the breeze at different times than a few weeks ago, which will also affect your sleep cycle. The birds chirping outside are active earlier, too.
All your mid-day stimuli are hitting sooner, basically.
I think you're both a little right. Yeah, they grew up in a world where it was generally more socially acceptable to approach strange women on the street than it is today. But that doesn't mean that you're never allowed to do it, either.
I think it'd be good to takeaway a bit of both arguments. Yes, you shouldn't harass women on the street, but also it's totally fine to talk to women as long as you're respectful and take the hint if they're not interested.
If you wanted to make a Mario Kart clone, copyright is easy enough to avoid. Nearly every other second-rate dev studio has managed to make a half-baked Mario Kart ripoff for whatever Nick Jr show they got the licensing to, so that part's simple.
The real issue is navigating the patent minefield that Nintendo has laid out.
You and I are posting on the Fediverse right now (capital F). If I create two of my own personal Lemmy instances that only federate with each other, they're not a part of the Fediverse. I've now created my own fediverse (lower-case F). The Fediverse is a fediverse, but not all fediverses are the Fediverse.
Same with internet and Internet. There is the main, collective Internet that we all know and use daily, but it's one of many internets.
What you didn't see was, on the reverse side of these documents, the dragon lawyer has no pants on. He's full ass-out. Just straight-up Donald Duck'ing it.
