The cheap Chinese stuff often uses knock-off ICs tho.
They can be fairly difficult to detect, and will work for a short time or under very light loads. But they will be nowhere near the spec of the data sheets.
They might massively overheat, not provide the correct currents or voltages, run at lower speeds. All sorts of corners being cut to turn a $2 IC into a 50¢ IC. Or a 50¢ ic into a 5¢ one

So yeh, might be the same PCB layout inside, it might visually look the same (or very very close) but the parts are likely to be counterfeit.

Of course, it’s also probable that name brands might be hit with counterfeit parts inside as well. Hopefully their QA picks that up

Any good RPG has a solid fishing mini game tbh

When metrics become targets they fail to be metrics any more

Larger sites cater towards scriptless web for accessibility requirements.
Smaller sites don’t need SPA, so will most likely work to some degree.
The better (not necessarily bigger) blog systems will use scripting for fancy things, but will have fallbacks and will still work.

It’s the middle tier web-app (and sites that want to be a web app but have no reason to be) that will run SPA without any fallback. You know, the ones that want to send notifications and know your location and all that fun stuff.

Obviously, you need the hat-bag to carry spare hats.

Because “trickle down” economy was somehow thought to be legit.
Like, the rich get loads of money, so they do big things to make jobs.

Except they don’t.

Rich people hoarde wealth, and pay people to ensure they don’t have to pay taxes.

Rich companies increase profits, which is about the sole metric of a successful company (and when a metric becomes a target, it fails to be a metric). Then they try to keep increasing profits by cutting costs.

Oh, and wealth hoarders then bet on companies ability to constantly increase profits.

Too advanced for me. Hannah Montana OS for me

Are you 100% sure it was a form from a bank?
Everything stinks of a scammers phishing form, leading to scammer calls.

I expect the only time a bank is going to want your phone number is when you initially sign up with them. After that, they should know who you are and your contact details.

I almost got caught out by a “sorry we missed you” delivery message, until it was asking for my date of birth.
Some of these random emails and SMS can catch you off-guard and seem legit

VMix popularity exploded during the pandemic. A lot of conferences became a blend of teams/zoom/Google and VMix.

Might be hardware based like a multi-m/e video mixer (blackmagic make cheap ones), or maybe more of a screen manager (like barco e2, analog way livecore). But, unless there are production requirements, vmix is much more likely. It’s (now) proven, and much cheaper!

OBS can absolutely do it. There are other open source softwares that can do it.
I’ve seen people bastardise Resolume into something that looks decent.
There are some online studio systems so everything you do is virtualized. Streamyard used to be like this, till it was bought by hopin (I think it was hopin)

USB-C is also ridiculously future proof and flexible, because it’s just a connector.
We are already doing 200w power and 40gbps data transfer rates, using various standards.

Now, standardising on a standard would be neat. But that isn’t going to happen
