@jpm Okay, I found my not-shit 12v-max powerbank, and this combination with a CH224 sinkmodule that jumpered for 20v gives me 12v.
@Unixbigot hooray! Thank you so much for confirming! Would you mind seeing what the PG pin says in this case, is it HiZ or low?

Computers and the Internet are only for corporations and governments departments run like a corporation. They can be trusted to do the right thing by their "clients".

@marick I doubt there's a single view shared by all, or even most, Real Scientists. Moreover, it's a metaphysical question, and most scientists don't think much about metaphysics most of the time.
@khinsen Yes. It’s weird that physicists in the early 20th century were into metaphysics. (Einstein’s “spooky action at a distance” is a metaphysical claim, and Mach seemed to be someone people paid attention to. The big fuss that led to the Copenhagen interpretation was a fundamentally metaphysical one. https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691183527/philosophy-of-physics)
It’s interesting to wonder how metaphysics drained out of physics. Copenhagen interpretation? The atom bomb making metaphysical questions beside the point?
Good news (after a fashion); this DHH/1PW thing has crossed a cultural blood/brain barrier, and now DHH is toxic even to politically influential normies:

A polished product used to be proof of grueling labor. Now, a perfect surface can be generated instantly.
You can’t actually tell the difference without a degree of hard-earned taste - something a tool can never hand you.

@petrillic I think @gsuberland was playing around with making MOSFETs do that?
@jpm @petrillic yup. as long as the voltage stays below Vgs(th) you can modulate Qg and thus Cgs by adjusting Vds.

A settlement supposedly designed to protect young people will require Meta to do even more surveillance—estimating users’ ages, hunting for secondary accounts, and enforcing sweeping restrictions. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/09/metas-17-billion-settlement-bad-deal-teens-and-all-social-media-users
@eff Meta really did “please don’t throw me in the briar patch” with that settlement.

@nileane Sounds like something a dumbass fascist wolf would say. I guess we gotta do what we gotta do...
