The minimum wage in Philippines is ~$6 per day in the provincial regions (350Php). $5 per hour for 8 hours is damn well nearly a king’s ransom; equivalent to 2,200Php.
And for fuck’s sake don’t raw dog your phone to convenient USB chargers in airplanes, airports, or other public spaces.
Yes the argument can be made that airplanes may enjoy slightly better chain-of-custody type security, but fr the number of people I see who dgaf plugging their junk into USB brothels is wild.

1A might be too much. You’ll also need to ensure the polarity is correct. There should be a label, usually co-located with the serial number, which states the input and polarity requirements of the DC plug.
It really depends on the internal tolerances. If you are familiar with basic circuitry and the use of a multimeter, you can check for initial power continuity.
Otherwise, using the correct amperage and polarity power supply will be the easiest check.
A follow up from my older asklemmy post, saying goodbye to a teacher who helped me a lot through my stuff, was thinking maybe chocolate, but one of the dudes said that it’s not a very good idea, I was thinking maybe a perfume/cologne?

It’s a common trope, in the US at least. The gift can be different in different countries. In the Philippines other local-made snacks might be brought for teachers.
I’ve been to suviche before for ceviche but i’d like to try somewhere that’s authentic like a hole in the wall place where peruvians would go for ceviche. I can speak intermediate spanish so it’s all good if they don’t speak english. Thanks!...
So what /were/ we supposed to use to mash the reset button on various pieces of hardware (eg, home routers) once the Paperless Office became a thing? 🤔
(Please, no jokes about AIs turning us into paperclips, tho also, same question there I suppose…what use would an AI have with paperclips if nobody's using paper anymore?)
(Yes, I have paperclips handy, and am resetting most of my WAPs via SSH anyhow 🤣)

I recently got a ZSA Moonlander and started learning colemak dh. It’s been a really fun journey so far and I’m now able to type consistently at 60 WPM. However, as you can see from the chart I’ve sort of hit a plateau at 60 and I’m having trouble breaking it....
What span of time is this? 60WPM is great tbh. I’d say focus on just using this skill for the next year and don’t tie yourself up too much worrying about your WPM. Gains after this point may come a little more slowly, and through practical applications rather than repeated type training.

All the dicks. And the bag, to be certain that if he weasels his way out of eating the dicks, at least he’ll have to find a way to carry them around for a while.
