I think the point here was to make a universal connector, not a universal protocol. That way you don’t end up with people breaking things by inserting the wrong connector into the wrong port. The worst case scenario here is that whatever you’re connecting doesn’t connect. Even connecting a 100 Watt USB Type C-Power Del…

One summer when I was a bored 12-year-old I discovered that you can’t build an AC-to-DC rectifier (to power a DC doorbell with wall voltage) with an aluminum paperclip. In doing so I destroyed a fuse and nearly set the house on fire. Do we want bored children?

Did you watch the video? It seems like some hoodlums caught a Tonberry and brought it into the city as a type of guard monster. 

I’m not sure if I had it but, I do know that I had a night where I had a cough, a temperature that peaked at 99.6° F, and chills. If you add this to the fact that I got a flu shot (so, I don’t think it was the flu) and the fact that I was a pallbearer at a funeral in early March where a group picture was taken and a…

The period they list is a full 6 months (April 8th to October 7th).  If you renew with them in October, they’ll give you the discount then.

Not better per-se, just more easily readable.

As of today, the Mexican government has decided that Grupo Modelo (the company that brews Corona and other beers) is “non-essential” so, they’re shutting down production.

I seem to remember this game being...harder. I just got on the leaderboard, playing as a farmer, when this is the first time I played this game in decades.

You say to do this but, for anyone running PNY drives, I’ll note that you’d better have up-to-date backups because they warn that jumping more than one version of firmware at once will erase your drive and just installing the next update may do the same. That’s a bit of an issue for system drives where restoring them…

I’ve done a few on consumer HDDs in the past. IIRC Western Digital always kept on top of issues that could be fixed with firmware updates within the warranty period of their drives.

I was wondering what that no comments section blasphemy masquerading as Deadspin was. Thanks for the info. 

There are a few major problems with your statement. They are all related to the thought that healthy people don’t have to isolate because they’re not at risk. Even if a healthy person doesn’t have symptoms, they could give it to someone else who will have a horrible outcome, this is a problem. Secondly, even among…

If it wasn't there when you visited, it's there now (in the advanced options). 

In this case, I think that the folly being satarized was that of the people who would take the "kill the old and the poor" line literally. If that was true, then this was certainly an attempt at satire. 

The rat plague is gone in 2. Unfortunately, it is replaced by one carried by dog-sized flying, biting, stinging insects.

I know that Charter/Spectrum didn’t have data caps before. I’ve been with them for quite a while myself. However, when Comcast and AT&T first started dabbling with data caps in certain markets, Charter was trying to look good to the FTC, FCC, and DOJ for their mergers with Bright House and Time Warner. Adding an…

That’s true but, that was also before data caps became commonplace.

They only don't have caps because the agreement that allowed them to buy Time Warner barred them from having caps for 7 years. I say this as a Spectrum customer. I expect them to try to add caps as soon as they can. 

That may be more of a Gizmodo question. 

I’m guessing that it's an extension problem. It renders fine for me in both desktop and mobile Chrome.
