Yea, you think regulating it is a bad thing until you realize you've been pay fifty cents per kilowatt-hour and somehow only the VW charging stations deliver half that power to you...
First off - 'cord cutter' doesn't mean you rip your shit out, it is a metaphor for dropping unnecessary services when one wire does everything you want, you fucking tool. So no, you are not a cord cutter, you're just a moron.
Second - you fuck the resale value of your property removing things like UTILITY INFRASTRUCTURE CONNECTION POINTS. In fact, you may not even actually OWN that cable in the walls, at all.
Third - Data cable is to be used as data cable, and not much else. It'll work fine for an antenna. Try using it for any serious power transmission and you're going to understand why I'm still calling you a moron.
Fourth - you're a fucking moron getting rid of a SECURE DATA DELIVERY CHANNEL. If you think your wireless is secure, you're ultra-fucking stupid.
"You don't use a USB otg cable to run your phone with a keyboard and mouse?"
Why would you do that when bluetooth (originally designed for low-bandwidth wireless peripherals) already exists and I just beam a laser keyboard on any surface I have immediately available to me and wear my finger-mounted mouse?
Moving to 64-bit doesn't exactly improve security when you don't even have enough RAM installed in the phone to even reach the 32-bit memory limit in the first place.
"it is a much different breed of computer than desktops and laptops"
How so? My mobile phone runs all the same programs I use on my desktop system. The only real fundamental difference is a touchscreen versus keyboard and mouse input, and that's just truly a difference in peripherals.
Not my fault/. can't display those icons correctly in my browser (all I see is the telltale blank space) so we get to place some of the retardation blame on/.!
"What can you possibly get out of 8-week internships?"
In two weeks I could teach you everything you need to know about basic electronic repair and diagnosis. I did this when employed at Solectron. That alone gives you the skills needed to handle most any general board-level repair.
" Fortunately the pins are only 1mm long so there's a good factor of 2000x in there."
Unless those are pure gold or silver, and NOT PLATED, they won't carry a goddamned thing over 1 amp. You just literally ignored basic physics and NESC regulations. You aren't licensed for shit - reveal your state license number or be considered a lying fuck.
Both are pretty much one and the same. It's like you've never done any basic electronics work in your life, son. Given your high UID, you've probably never touched an iron in your life let alone have to do basic fucking goddamned calculations for appropriate wire or connector size on a daily basis wiring things to STRICT CALIFORNIA CODE.
Please come back when you are a licensed electrician. Or even a two-year journeyman with at least one year of working experience.
You've obviously never done any real electrical work in your life.
And I DID read the spec, that's how I determined that the fucking pins on the USB-C connector alone can't handle fucking 5 amps safely over a distance greater than two meters and aren't even equivalent to 20AWG wire. USB-PRE-C had larger pins that COULD handle that up to 30 fucking feet. USB-C can not unless both the cables AND connector pins are made of gold or silver.
If they wanted to deliver high power, the world's shittiest wire can take 600V and an easy 250mA - there's fucking 150 watts and you can send that HUNDREDS of feet down a USB-C cable (assuming they'd ever make one that long) thanks to the very low losses incurred in HVDC.
You're sorely equipped for this fight. Go back to school, child.
The cables themselves cannot if they're longer than 2 meters and that's AT ROOM TEMPERATURE (Remember ampacity drops as the cable gets warmer.) That's utter crap and a physical limitation EXPLICITLY due to the connector design. The pinout contacts aren't even equivalent to 20AWG.
You're going to hear a LOT of stories about equipment and cables frying soon. Someone utterly forgot to do their basic wire gauge/ampacity calculations (I just had to redo 400 calculations because the idiot someone hired to re-wire their business failed to do these calculations and failed inspection when the inspector came along to check.)
And can you imagine 5 amps in a worn out socket? Wiggle *POP*
Slashdot Mirror
Do open source it so we can look at the hackjob shitpile that is Adobe code and learn from their utter fuckups, and get a laugh at the same time!
Meanwhile, I'm using everything from coat hangars to co-axial cable as my antenna for various radios.
Please try again when you understand what I'm talking about, which you apparently do not.

Impedance does nothing for frequency response. Try again when you understand how antennas work.

No point in using ASLR when your flagship phone doesn't even come with half the RAM necessary to necessitate its use (2GB RAM on the iPhone 7.)

You must be new here.

Thank you for proving that users logging in here via Facebook are pretty much fucking retarded.
It has a processor, that makes it a computer.
At today's fab size, you could probably make a 128-core 3 GHz 486DX.
It was searching for other competing shit it could surreptitiously wipe from your system.

Go into any iPhone repair shop, moron. You can get the repair schematics for cheap and you can see very clearly its all the same shit.

"Six sigma has nothing to do with science and research"
Apparently you know nothing about this, so let's educate you on this a bit.
Six-Sigma is used at CERN. So fucking YES, it is most certainly used in science.
Perhaps you should get a job in an actual scientific field.
That's 99.999999+ fucking percent certainty.
That has been THE STANDARD.
Way more statistically significant than .005.
Man, Trump's election really screwed with everyone's brains, didn't it?

The output on ONE of my webcams will saturate the USB 2.0 bus and leave no overhead for even a USB keyboard at 1024x768.
"new ones are far more secure than back then."
No they are not. They're susceptible to the exact same physical attack that got past the i5.
It's like you know nothing about hardware engineering. If it can be made, it can be broken.
My case already has a cigarette lighter built-in.
Those tiny shitty connector contacts of USB-C couldn't even handle 5A, let alone the 10A the cig lighter needs.
"Type B isn't used anymore and was hardly used even back then"
Pretty much every single printer/scanner combo I've ever owned had Type-B socket. My old 3Com webcamera, same thing.
