I assume they meant check the wattage of the car charger output. some powerbanks have displays now and can show you it's input or output.

.. All phones also have displays and should show you the same thing but don't.

You could just show it as a percentage of max its trying to draw be default and show actual watts under a developer toggle

It depends on the package really. Sometimes you're better off without the fixes that occurred in the last 2 years if it means avoiding the new bugs in the last 2 years.

IMO the more you try to stick to the latest releases, the more important it is to continue to stay updated. but every upgrade is a chance for new bugs or just breaking changes, so for new users starting with a stable distro is a good choice.

.. except for browsers, where you both need the newest features but REALLY need the newest fixes.

Agreed but I think the intent is still interesting. My interpretation would be that you can still talk to friends, but not about the vacation. Id still say yes but I'm curious if that changes it for you.

The more simplified question would be just not bringing your phone or a camera, but then id say no as that just sounds like a dangerous trap and isn't really what the question is trying to ask- it's more 'would you go on a vacation and just enjoy it, or do you only want to go on vacation so people know you went? '

slightly off topic but I've been disappointed with ultrawide support and really advise against it for most people. Many single player games that do support it clearly weren't designed for it and just give you a prettier pillarboxed 16:9, like Hades adding some art on the sides.

And multiplayer games just crop your vision down so you have a weird FoV and see the same amount horizontally as a 16:9 user, but can't see as much above or below you as they can. Proper support would let you see more horizontally than 16:9 players and since that's the vast majority of players it's understandable.. but then anyone who does buy an ultrawide has to run it in 16:9 with pillarboxing or be at a disadvantage.

the only slightly justifiable use of slotted is something like the face plate on a light switch or power outlet, where it doesn't have to be particularly tight and it's nice you can remove it in a pinch with a fingernail or dime.

.. but really if someone came and replaced all of mine with torx I can't say id complain, so its not like they're good in that use case.. just less awful

see https://learn.adafruit.com/understanding-usb-type-c-cable-types-pitfalls-and-more/cable-types-and-differences for all the various things the cable alone can support

what devices can support is definitely an issue too though.
