  • This is what AI says about this video:

    The video is about the dangers of using USB-C extension cords. The narrator explains that USB-C extension cords are not officially certified by the USB Implementers Forum, which means that they are not guaranteed to be safe or reliable. He also explains that USB-C extension cords can be dangerous because they can overload the power supply of the device that they are connected to. This can cause the device to overheat and even catch fire. The narrator recommends that people avoid using USB-C extension cords altogether. Here are some of the specific dangers of using USB-C extension cords:

    • They can overload the power supply of the device that they are connected to.
    • They can cause the device to overheat and even catch fire.
    • They can degrade the performance of the device.
    • They can be unreliable.

    The narrator also explains that some USB-C extension cords have a label that says “USB 2.0 low speed devices can only work with one side of the ultra high rate extension cables interface.” This means that the USB 2.0 connection is only available on one side of the cable. This can be a problem if you need to connect a USB 2.0 device to the cable.

    The narrator recommends that people avoid using USB-C extension cords altogether. If you must use one, he recommends that you use a high-quality cable from a reputable manufacturer. You should also make sure that the cable is rated for the power requirements of the device that you are connecting to it. Overall, this video is a helpful resource for anyone who is considering using a USB-C extension cord. It provides important information about the dangers of using these cables and how to avoid them.


  • I’m sorry, Ireland will never be sanctioned for this. They’re aligned with two powerful trading blocs.

    Inside the EU: they don’t meaningfully do anything to stop this practice of tax avoidance. They’ll play a good game taking US multinationals to court, yes, and imposing laughable fines. But ultimately they’re not going to outright ban this practice or force Ireland to stop. They’re either not capable or unwilling. Time has showed both.

    Friends with the US: if there’s any “special relationship” with the US, it’s not France it’s not the UK it’s Ireland. There’s too many votes, to be blunt, in the “Irish American” caucuses for The US to change any position on Ireland regarding tax evasion.

    Time to face facts. That tax isn’t coming home. It’s being funneled via Ireland for the benefit of US multinationals who wish their CEOs to vacation in Hawaii twice a year for a small cut taken by Ireland.

    Luck of the Irish, eh?

    Do you think anything this administration has done was thoroughly thought out and considered or plain reactionary and for mass media consumption?

    From what we’ve seen this past year of Biden he seems more interested in visiting ice cream parlours and having an absolutely shit foreign policy.

    I don’t think he understands the words even when they’re coming out of his own mouth.
