Nor are a lot of cables. 100W is far more likely, at least for a while, since that was a standard for a fair while as it is.

Do they account for changing economic factors as well? I would be curious about how many of the new diagnoses are from people who might have died from other causes, or been classified that say.

Not really. It depends more on what wattage that the power supply can give, and what the laptop is willing to take. USB-PD is pretty smart, and will only give as much power as the laptop wants to take, up to the limit of the cable/power supply.

But if it’s capable of supplying the same wattage, it makes no difference if you’re giving it 65W by phone charger, or 65W by manufacturer power brick.

People also generally need support if they are to have kids.

If you have a cultural expectation that people need to move out when they are of age, they can’t rely on grandparents or extended family to look after the children, and if they are spending all their other time working, they’re just not going to have the time to find someone to have kids with, or be able to actually raise the children.

In the absence of other factors, like needing the kids to help out on the farm, people have no reason to have them. Especially in countries like the US, where healthcare and childcare are quite expensive. A childbirth alone is about $3000 - $30000 over there, to say nothing of health-care costs, complications, there being very little parental leave, or any of that.

For Toyota, it’s both. Both the hybrid and plug-in hybrids use the same drivetrain, except the PHEV/Prime versions have more powerful motors, so they can power the car at higher speeds than their hybrid counterparts are. Honda’s newer hybrid/plug-in hybrid drivetrain uses something similar.

You’re thinking of the one Nissan uses in their cars. They have a similar setup to a diesel-electric locomotive (engine drives generator, which powers the motor to drive the wheels).

With the Toyota kind, it’s both, but they have a special transmission/eCVT for it, rather than just bolting a motor to the driveshaft.

The motor’s also responsible for the engine gearing in that case.

The PHEV just uses a beefier motor, so it doesn’t need the engine to move the vehicle.

It is quite funny that Cuba, a small, relatively poor country that has been embargoed for decades, is considered an unusual and extraordinary threat to American national security, compared to countries with fission weapons.

Do they have antimatter or something?

Which is quite a shame, really. I had a BTX Dell, which had amazing potential to be upgraded, since nearly everything was just spring latches, and could be slid open quite easily. You could install and swap most parts without a screwdriver.

The potential to upgrade it was there, and then it just never materialised, so the entire thing ended up basically being useless.

They’ve existed for quite a long time at this point.

That’s how virtual puppetry/V-Tubing works. The camera tracks your face, and then moves part of a corresponding model, and unlike face posing inside of Garry’s Mod, or something like that, since it’s bound to a real face, it would move more or less like a human face.

eventually passing the test will be a fail because the actions requested are either too difficult for humans to understand or too difficult for humans to perform, at which point AIs will be trained on knowing the physical limitations of humans.

This also exists for some forms of captcha, which track how you complete a puzzle, or something along those lines. A bot would either be completely stumped, complete it far more quickly than a human would, or do it by snapping their cursor to the relevant parts, instead of moving it.

The trick is to not care, and to confidently do it like it was the most natural thing in the world, and it clearly was.

The world of the wealthy runs on appearances. The worst thing you can do there is to be ashamed. Arguably better is to look at them with confident disdain for using a knife and fork to eat a pizza, in much the same way that they might for someone using a soup spoon for dessert.

For the pizza, it’s arguably more regional than wealth related. In a few countries, like parts of Italy and Sweden, it’s more common to eat pizza using cutlery rather than using your hands.

Whereas for other places, like other parts of Italy, it may be more common to use your hands for it instead. It very much depends on where, and the local culture more than anything else. But using your hands is as valid as using a knife and fork.

Pink is, after all, not a colour of light. In which case, it is entirely reasonable for a pink unicorn to also be invisible.

Would it not be better to ask them directly?

They know their own preferences, and could mention if they have policies in the clinic that prevent them from accepting gifts from patients and the like.

The squidgy gel look Vista/7 had was pretty nice, too.

They’d arguably stopped some time ago. I have a Thinkpad T490s, and a fair chunk of that isn’t upgradeable without swapping a fair bit of the body.

The keyboard, for example, is a permanent part of the chassis. Replacing out requires you to swap the entire shell out.

The Ethernet port is some proprietary gubbins, because Lenovo wanted to be funny, and use the same protocols and pinouts as regular Ethernet, but used a special physical connector.

Half the RAM is also permanently soldered into the motherboard as well, so you can’t properly upgrade that either.

Or “if only the city would open a new lane, it won’t be as congested”. Sometimes followed by “why dId the city shut the road, that’s just going to make traffic worse” when the council shuts the road for expansion works.

Though the initial learning curve can seem a bit intimidating if you’re used to something like word, which does everything for you with a single button.

Especially for things like picking which packages to use, or how to make a functional document from it.

I have no idea who thought it would be a good idea to give an error code to a user in Hexadecimal form, with no other information.

An error occurred: 0x 80070003

is hardly helpful at all.

It is, as is the native powershell terminal, thankfully.
