The drive itself will work with any processor. If all you have is data on there, it will work.

Or do you mean you want to swap the drive which has the operating system on it?

That's what the law says.

The MP might not be selected by their party to stand in the next election. But there's no law about MPs behaving in a way contrary to the wishes of their electorate.

Indeed, how could an MP do their job properly if there was? If they've got a slim majority there would be almost endless recall petitions from opposition parties.

If they voted against their party, they could be fired by the party against the wishes of the voters.

What bar so you want to set for voters' votes to be invalidated? At the moment we have criminal acts and suspension. What other thresholds would you add - and how would you stop people from abusing them?

All night Karaoke party fueled with sake.

Just need to warm up the old vocal chords first.

Not that I know of. And I don't think a Lemmy user can block (for example) a Mastodon user.

Could be worse. Could be a Nokia T9 predictive text input!

If a device needs 65W and you give it 22W one of two things will happen

  1. It will charge very slowly
  2. It will not charge at all

There is no risks of overheating.

Yes, it is not possible for a USB-C charger to deliver too much power to a device. You should be able to use any USB-C device with any charger - with three caveats.

Firstly, not all USB-C chargers will go up to the maximum limit of your device. If you have a 5v 2A charger supplying 10Watts - that's going to take a long time to fill your device.

Secondly, not all USB-C devices support all possible charging profiles. So you may have a charger which can give one device 65W but not another.

Thirdly, the cable matters. A cheap £1 cable isn't going to be able to to charge at maximum power. Get a cable which is specified for the job.

Here's my review of a USB-C charger which experienced these problems - https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2020/06/review-ylpower-87w-usb-c-charger-msh-87pd/

It's my understanding that HDMI can supply a small amount of electricity - but it is from the computer to the display. See https://web.archive.org/web/20150319112324/http://www.hdmi.org/learningcenter/kb.aspx?c=13

That's brilliant. I hope one day it becomes viable for in-home use. I have a small solar setup and sell a lot of electricity back to the grid. My 2kWh battery can't hold much.

Set your meal preference. I usually choose "Asian Vegetarian". That guarantees you a (somewhat) tasty curry and you'll also be served first.

If you're travelling to somewhere with a significant timezone change, prepare beforehand. Start shifting your body clock about 1 hour per day. Most importantly, shift when you eat your meals - that seems to be the key for me.

Unless you are flying business class or higher, there's no real way to get a good sleep on a plane. All the gadgets in the world won't help. Get a thick sleep mask and some earplugs and hope for the best.

Once the seatbelt sign is off, take your shoes off. You'll feel a lot more comfortable. Put them on if you go to the toilet though!

Are there any UK-specific communities?

I loved teaching Scratch. And I've written about DRAKON - https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2023/04/why-arent-there-more-visual-programming-languages-an-ode-to-drakon/

I think they're useful for building algorithms. But the tools themselves aren't powerful enough for anything too complicated. I hope that changes though!
