Wait, my body's own heat is enough? Always has been.
  • It isn't. The air being 100 degrees and dry isn't the same as pouring 100 degree water on yourself. You're only sitting there for like 15-20 minutes. Ask any Finn and I guarantee you that 100 degrees is what you aim for.

  • Why only cyclists should wear hi-viz in the dark? Cars can too!
  • The front lights are allowed to flash in Denmark and it's super annoying, and dangerous in my opinion. The lowest allowed blinking frequency is also way lower than rear lights in Sweden, so it's like being flashed by a camera repeatedly.

  • Why only cyclists should wear hi-viz in the dark? Cars can too!
  • IIRC there was only a short window when turning the rear lights off was a thing, and the law has since gone back to having to turn them on when the car is turned on. While there are still people in cars like that, they're a minority.

  • Sike!
  • Those of us who never had to buy them now have to for backward compatibility. That especially includes us iPhone people who are new to the party and have to buy both the newer standard and the older. There are a lot of iPhone people.

    That's more of an Apple issue than a USB issue, imo.

    For anyone, you have to carry double the number of cables. You might find a modern charger or you might find an older one.

    I agree that's annoying. But again, once the transition started, C-C cables came with A-C adapters. Those still exist.

    Are you asking why USB-C is more convenient? It’s smaller, it’s reversible, it carries more power, it has faster data …. How’s it not more convenient?

    The size difference is minimal. If you're saying you can bring a C-C cable but not an A-C cable, I don't believe you. Reversible is just a matter of flipping it if it's wrong. USB-A still has up to 30 W. Do you really need fast charging in public outlets? Data is moot, since we're talking about charging and ideally even using non-data cables to avoid unintentional data transfer.

  • Sike!
  • USB-c are more convenient and have a wider range of uses.

    How? Since USB-C has been around for so long, A-C cables have been the norm from the start. Everyone has them already. I don't see the downside.

  • Sike!
  • Wait. I thought they were saying it's annoying that there are now USB-C outlets replacing USB-A, which would be a waste. They actually want USB-C outlets?! I'd guess at least half of all USB-C cables are USB-A to USB-C. There's absolutely no reason to switch from A-outlets.

  • Drivers Hate The Tech In Their Cars
  • Here in Denmark (maybe all EU, not sure) a dashcam has to be turned on manually. If it were to turn on automatically with the car, it'd be illegal. I'm guessing laws across the world could be stopping such a rollout.
