  • I can’t think of the proper words so I apologize for how untechnical this is: If you look inside the connector you’ll see a thin line jutting out. That’s the actual thing that USB-C connects with. You can’t make that round. The reason the outer part of the plug is an “oval” is just to make plugging it in easier. It could be a rectangle and still work.





  • I mean, I kinda understand where they are coming from. I don’t agree with their implementation though.

    Why add this? Public/unsecured/shared wifi. The moment someone is on the same network, they had full access to the printer. Yeah, technically the fault of the end user, but I can understand them not wanting the potential hate for it.

    But in reality, all they needed to do was add a proper local API with full access behind a login/token system. It would suck in the short term as all previous tools would break, but it would solve both problems.




  • It likely wouldn’t be much better. It took me six months and hundreds of applications to find a software development position. From what I hear things took a major turn after LLMs got added to the mix. Not to mention, most companies use the AI pre screening and bin the ones that fail, meaning if your resume is a weird format, you could be getting binned simply for a technical fuckup.







  • They aren’t explicitly trained to sound confident, that’s just how users tend to talk. You don’t often see “I don’t know but you can give this a shot” on Stack Overflow, for instance. Even the incorrect answers coming from users are presented confidently.

    Funnily enough, lack of confidence in response is something I don’t think LLMs are currently capable of, since it would require contextual understanding of both the question, and the answer being given.
