i_am_not_a_robot, to til in TIL that there are two types of earwax: wet and dry

Hmm, maybe it’s one per ear?!

Apparently this is the one thing which is controlled by a single gene, and works as you were taught in school with dominant and recessive traits.

Nothing else does, including the things you were taught like eye and hair colour - they are much more complicated.

I missed them, of course. They are set to return tonight but probably not as good.

i_am_not_a_robot, to nintendo in Accessory maker MobaPad says that Switch 2 will accept Switch cartridges and extra Joy-Con buttons
@i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk avatar

True, but the Switch was a big rethink so retaining backwards compatibility would have been tricky.

The 3DS had backward compatibility with physical DS games. The Wii U had backward compatibility with Wii games (the Wii could also play GameCube games). No surprises here - especially if they are going to call it “Switch 2” I’d have been surprised if it wasn’t compatible.

3DS cartridges had an extra notch on them to stop them being inserted into a DS. Probably we’ll get something similar here or there will be some software mechanism to stop attempts to run the new games on the old system.

I found one like that a while back, can’t for the life of me remember where and I didn’t take a photo.

@i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk avatar

I’d love to get a job at one of these display board companies (or the local IT if they do it themselves), and tell them I can save them thousands.

A Pi Zero 2W, TFTP boot, you’ve saved masses of hardware cost and saved yourself a Windows licence.

Replicate that for all the displays over all the stores, done.

This was in Gregg’s.

Yeah, same. I set it up as it looked like the best way to control my inverter - I wanted to set it to charge from the grid when electricity was free, and discharge during saving sessions without having to do it manually. I then expanded to trying to calculate how much charge I needed overnight in cheap rate based on the solar forecast for the next day…

Anyway, I now have everything on it and keep thinking of things to add.

i_am_not_a_robot, to raspberrypi in Raspberry pi as a streaming box?
@i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk avatar

This is a legitimate concern.

Looks like that was just credential stuffing, though, not an actual vulnerability. Unique passwords and 2FA are enough to stop your account being compromised. They’ve been good enough to refund anything spent as a result of this. There have been far worse breaches and less reasonable companies, although I understand any concern after this sort of thing is reported.

I don’t know what a shield TV is, but I quite like the Roku streaming sticks. They work flawlessly for me, and you can cast to them from another device.

i_am_not_a_robot, to nostupidquestions in Why is "Dear X" considered more formal than "To X" in e-mail/writing?
@i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk avatar

I don’t think I’ve ever used Dear to start an email; always Hi for as long as I remember.

I don’t like To, it always seems like a command rather than a greeting. I write it on cards and stuff but it always leaves a niggling feeling of wrongness.

i_am_not_a_robot, to nostupidquestions in Why do Americans measure everything in cups?
@i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk avatar

If it calls for 200g of aubergine, then you can weigh that at the shop… It’s more convenient at that end, and you can get the right amount.

@i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk avatar

Depends what it is. In this instance I was buying cups of fruit, how many cups are there to a punnet? I already have the weight on the packaging, so if I know the weight I need it’s much easier.
