    Which cannot connect to a phone unless it’s unlocked, as accepting every USB-C connection carries security risks. They also require negotiation, which can fail at any time, meaning you have to unlock, disconnect, reconnect.

    I also have a nice, external (and still cheap) DAC on my computer. It has a headphone jack. This means I need to be able to disconnect the USB-C dongle from my headphones, unless I want to have two separate headphones for my phone and my PC. By extension this requires me to go searching for the dongle from time to time.

    I love USB-C. But the headphone jack had what companies and people claim to want: simplicity.

    Headphone jacks solved a single but extremly common problem very well. USB-C provides a workaround for it.


  • it even has a tutor

    Yeah, people are just lazy. I remember when I invented a new login screen and was told it was “difficult”, “confusing” and “took some getting used to”.

    It even came with a free 100-page manual and a 4-hour master class. Some people, I tell you!

    ^This is meant more as a joke than an actual critique, even if it kind of reflects my thoughts. But ultimatly, I thought it was a funny bit.^

    Funnily enough, it’s my least troublesome plant.

    I got it as a impulse purchase. But the novelty only lasted a few weeks, so I pretty much dismissed it and put it in the bathroom to get more space for plants I liked better. But it endured for a entire year, thanklessly and without a single complaint. No pests, no fertilizer issues, no water problems, no rot or anything. And then it put put it’s first flowers aswell.

    This one really clawed it’s way back into my heart and I consider one of my favorite plants by now. It really earned it.

    It’s currently in my bathroom, which is clean but still not very sighty. And I’m currently trying to kinda trellis it as it has become quite unwieldy and I can’t really move it much without risking it.

    But I’m planning to relocate it after pruning next spring. As soon as the leaves have grown back, there will definitely be pictures! :D

    I had something similar with my monstera.

    Personally, I aim for the biggest leaves I can. So I air-layered it at the newest node, and when I was sure it had enough roots (so it wouldn’t get shocked), I replanted it with a plank.

    I really underestimated how much roots the plant needed, but it has since caught on, is throwing out nice new leaves and is climbing well.

    I also made a few single node cuttings that I will probably have to give away at some point.


  • 1l of (4°C) water weighs 1kg. 1kg (of anything) is 1000g. 1g of water is 1cm³. Stack 1000 1cm³ blocks to get a 10m high column. This column exerts 100kPa of pressure on its base. To heat it by 1°C requires 1kcal. And 1N would accelerate it by 1m/s every second.

    I’ve posted this before on my mastodon, and on feddit.de, before the instance was shut down, but I think it’s still a nice showcase how SI units interact with one another.

    The worst thing we have in the metric system is kWh/1000h. It’s just watts, but whoever designed the energy labels thought a bunch of zeros would be funny or something.
