Maybe if we had a fucking standard for the where the fuck the tap to pay is. We all knew the swype and inserts were because we could see the slots.

But why be mysterious where the tap is? One machine will be in the corner but you can’t tap until it lights. Some is on the screen and you can tap anytime. Some are on screen and you can’t tap until you pick credit. Then there are those that say you can tap but the store doesn’t have it turned on so you can’t tap.

Pick a fucking standard. It’s using the chip all over again, that was really fucking annoying too, you would go to swype and they say oh you need to insert the chip, next store you go to and you insert but they say that don’t work and you need to swype.

Then they can’t sell you another doll. When do we get sickle cell barbie? Like why give doll diseases? Can’t leave that up to the kid?

Yeah so far it doesn’t matter because zigbee and zwave still work fine.

If you only take what is right then you will never be wrong.

If the shoe don’t fit you must acquit.

Most are downloaded with *arr apps and are random quality. I shoot for 1080 for shows and movies but for the really good stuff that I personally like I will get the 4K version.

I selected all and copy/paste before it popped up with the subscribe. It’s not perfect and I didn’t do any editing, but it’s readable.

Edit: now that I read it, I guess it’s not all there but TLDR there is encryption between the dock and console that prevents 3rd party docks.

How Nintendo locked down the Switch 2’s USB-C port and broke third-party docking

We whipped out a USB-C PD analyzer to test how Nintendo walled its garden this time around. by Sean Hollister Jul 2, 2025, 3:47 PM EDT

There’s always a reason why universal USB-C ports don’t “just work” like you’d expect. In the early days, it was incompetence or naiveté. Later, manufacturers often cheaped out. But in the case of Nintendo’s Switch 2, it appears to be intentional.

With the Nintendo Switch 2, it should be easy to plug your new, more expensive console into video glasses or TVs when you’re traveling away from home. USB-C makes it so. But Nintendo has intentionally broken the Switch 2’s compatibility with those devices, using a new encryption scheme and some form of dedicated encryption chip, two accessory manufacturers tell The Verge.

I haven’t yet found proof of that encryption chip myself — but when I analyzed the USB-C PD traffic with a Power-Z tester, I could clearly see the new Nintendo Switch not behaving like a good USB citizen should.

If you’ve been wondering why there are basically no portable Switch 2 docks on the market, this is the reason. Even Jsaux, the company that built its reputation by beating the Steam Deck dock to market, tells us it’s paused its plans to build a Switch 2 dock because of Nintendo’s actions. It’s not simply because the Switch 2 now requires more voltage, as was previously reported; it’s that Nintendo has made things even more difficult this generation. How docking works

That “U” in USB isn’t always “universal,” but this is generally true: if you plug any USB-C to HDMI adapter, dock, or hub into a USB-C laptop, tablet or handheld that supports USB-C video output, you can expect to see your screen automatically appear on your TV.

The magic is normally possible because of a simple, standardized set of instructions that any manufacturer can follow to make their docking station or hub “talk” to the computer.

Right, “it was empty” someone is getting high tonight.

Also this legitimates the tech. Just like porn and VHS, the drug cartels endorse stardink.

My key fob is free.

My brother who was working on buying a Kia EV6 could see and track its location before even signing the paperwork. All you need is the VIN.

I cast remote start.

Male judges who have experienced similar events in their lives maybe? Rape cases should be judged by a 3 judge court where they must have more than one gender or at least another gender other than the perp.

Home automation is still a dark art as far as the common person is concerned. Full of fear mongering from the media.

Much like 3D printing was very mystical and full of “oh no 3d printed guns!” We have gone full appliance with 3d printing and it’s no longer gatekeeped by geeks in their basements.

I’m glad I still have at least one hobby that hasn’t gone mainstream and I can still geek out on ESPHome.

Zigbee is local and if you really wanted to you can use Home Assistant 100% offline it will be just neutered and basic.

Good thing I have a bidet and towels.

He isn’t holding anything other than a diaper full of shit.

Or Canadian.

The older the bill the more scrutiny it will receive so unless it’s perfect someone will figure it out.

1. I smell a fart

2. It was me.

A cat more deserving of the Peace Prize.
