  • There is no standard what red USB A ports mean. Could be fast charging through some proprietary protocol or other special features. Or just a design choice.

    USB ports with no symbol just don’t advertise what they’re capable of. Most phones support super speed data transfer. Basic USB-PD and display port output support is also common. They may also support other stuff, like pretending to be a webcam, audio output and much more. But you usually have to look in the manual or data sheet to know what is supported.





  • To be completely fair, I picked up sewing recently as a new special interest and I’m still in the learning phase.

    I prefer pure cotton (or linen or other cotton based fabrics like viscose or modal) and then the fabric you choose depends on how thick it needs to be and if it should be elastic (jersey, sweat) or not (eg. standard woven dress shirt fabric, denim, canvas,…). I buy most of my fabric online as I don’t like interacting with people, but going into stores definitely has advantages in that you can touch the fabric.

    I only machine sew (unless hand sewing small parts is kinda necessary). My fine motor functions are pretty bad (probably autism related), so I got a cheap standard sewing machine and a used serger from eBay.

    So far I’ve made a hoodie, some tops/t-shirts, some underwear ( didn’t come out very well tbh, had not the right fabric) and I’ve changed some store bought jeans and t-shirts to fit me better.

    Check out freesewing if you’re interested, there are lots of neurodiverse people on their discord server who can help you and the website can create sewing patterns for your sizes.



  • In Germany, juvenile detention is up to 24 years. Juvenile law is also not that straightforward, if it’s applicable also depends on how “childish” someone still behaves. In some cases one can be 20 and still go to an adult prison, e.g. if they’re very violent and wouldn’t fit into the education-oriented juvenile detention. On the other hand, older people who behave very childish (e.g. because of a disability) will usually not be put into an adult prison and instead get something more therapy oriented similar to juvenile detention.

    Well then I ask the bot to repeat the prompt (or write me a song about the prompt or whatever) to figure out the weaknesses of the prompt.

    And if the bot has an instruction to not discuss the prompt, you can often still kinda leak it by asking it about repeating the previous sentence or asking it to tell you a random song (where the prompt stuff would still be in its “short-term-memory” and leak it that way.

    Also llms don’t have a huge “memory”. The more prompts you give them, the more bullet-proof you try to make them, the more likely it is that they “forget”/ignore some of the instructions.






  • “Bescheissen” is not as vulgar as you might think, even if it contains Scheisse (shit).

    A more literal translation would be “little Good Lords cheat”. The “*le” at the end is a local (South German) dialect thing, a diminutive suffix meaning “little”, just like “doggy” means “little dog”.


  • Yeah, stuff like where the direction of flow depends on the order you’ve built the pipes isn’t realistic at all.

    I’m looking forward to try the new mechanics and I don’t think the new system will make trains obsolete. Using tons of pipes will create large buffers, which will have low throughput until the pipes are filled sufficiently. You might still need to build pumps regularly to prevent backflow into large buffers, e.g. to not cause huge backflow into the entry pipes when connecting another new oil pumping outpost.

    They could also add other mechanics for balance, for example if a pipe gets destroyed that could empty out the whole associated buffer (as the fluid would’ve leaked out), again making huge pipe networks dangerous.
