That’s the customer answer, where they give an age in leap years, and everything goes to pot.

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.

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.

It’s odd that it takes in that direction, rather than going with trend of other patents, where the patent is for the implementation, not the idea.

Rober seems to think so, since he says in the video that it’s likely disengaging because the parking sensors detect that it’s parked because of the object in front, and it shuts off the cruise control.

They already have trouble enough with trucks carrying traffic lights, or with speed limit stickers on them.

Instinctively, human brains generally don’t like large objects coming to them unbidden at high speed. That isn’t going to help things, even if you’re consciously aware that the wall is relatively harmless.

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?

Not him, but a bunch of other people on his political party.

It does feel a little like an attempt to legitimise it, so that criticisms are flipped off as mental illness, and/or an opportunity for institutionalising/excluding political opponents for much the same reason.

?

Not just, but he literally advertised himself as not being technical. That seems to be just asking for an open season.

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.
