Come on now, you guys are the real celebrities!

Hey, I know her, I’m pretty sure she’s in that one movie I watched!

I would say more like a Harley Quinn.

If there was only some way to make any attempts at building an accurate profile of one’s online presence via data scraping completely useless by masking one’s own presence within the vast quantity of online data of someone else, let’s say for example, a famous public figure.

But who would do such a thing?

If you think Ernest Cline’s movie is cringy, wait until you read his poetry. Absolutely one of the worst piece of writing I’ve ever read.

And it only gets worse from there.

You’re right. Those are active cables which I forgot to mention earlier that have special circuits that amplify signals, but are also a lot more expensive as a result.

Pssh. Celebrities on social media, who needs them anyway.

You could always buy more copies of “Barbie” on Blu-ray for Christmas.

Just saying.

That’s esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie to you!

Also, thank you.

If you want a more detailed explanation, USB-C is a small connector that was designed primarily for data transfer, extended power range delivery (240w) was essentially hacked on to the standard. Electricity arcing between the contacts on the connector is the biggest challenge with this hack, since the contacts are small and very close together, which could burn out the circuit board and start fires. For EPR to work safely, there needs to be a lot of extra components on the circuit board/female connector side, which there simply isn’t enough space for on an f2m extension cable.

As for why USB-C cables are so short, it’s simply a matter of physics, carrying high speed data over larger distances would result in higher losses and requires thicker conductors and more shielding, which is why you don’t see USB4 Gen3 cables over 1 meter unless they are optical, and longer “charging cables” are only rated at USB 2.0 speeds, because more often than not they don’t even have the USB 3.x data pins on their connector.

Well, there is this time a few months ago where the Chinese government hacked AT&T and Verizon using the mandatory backdoors the US government left for wiretaps…

That’s the reason leaving backdoors is generally a really, really bad idea, because you don’t know who else can use them

Contrary to popular belief, I do have to do work for a living and can’t spend all day on social media.

Not acting skill, that’s for sure.

That looks like a badly AI generated image of Steven Seagal that Steven Seagal would use as his profile picture on social media as a bit.

If he isn’t so full of himself.

A while ago, I had A LOT of free time to shitpost on social media, and I was beginning to miss it.

I don’t have as much time anymore. 😭

Which goes to show that if you are a public figure whether in politics, entertainment, or otherwise, owning your own server for social media instead of relying on Zuck and Musk should be a critical concern at this point.

There is no reason for the Harris campaign to not dip their toe into federated social media at this point given Musk’s antagonism towards them.

You probably never heard of it, but I shitpost on this obscure technology forum called Lemonworld or something on things I would never admit to in public.

It’s great, I’m something of a celebrity over there.

The Joker.

I really don’t get the obsession with overusing the Joker when most of Barman’s other rogue gallery members are much more interesting. The worst of it is during “The Batman Who Laughs”, because now you have both the regular Joker and “what if Batman became Joker” running around. And then, as if it couldn’t get any more ridiculous,

And I think most people will agree by now that Harley Quinn is a lot better of a character after she’s done being Joker’s sidekick.
