Eh, that's a bit of a stretch. There's more awareness by default here because of GDPR and such, but I wouldn't say people really care that much more here

Now please explain to me how C works.

That's not what they're asking. It's not about how C works, it's about how specific APIs written in C work, which is hard to figure out on your own for anyone who is not familiar with that specific code. You'll have to explain that to any developer coming new into the project expected to work with those APIs, no matter their experience with C.

Sand won’t do anything because the fire is self-oxidizing.

From my understanding the recommendation to have a bucket of sand around when handling lithium batteries is not to put the fire out with it, but to have something to throw the battery into that's not gonna catch fire as well, and then to carry the whole bucket somewhere where the battery can just burn out on its own. Is that wrong?

Between 40-60% of people have some form of permanent brain damage and 70-80% have long covid problems

Wait what? I'm with you on masking etc., but those numbers seem a bit high, where did you get those from?

Yeah, that's the point, it shouldn't be like that

You're not wrong, but the way you put it makes it sound a little bit too intentional, I think. It's not like the camera sees infrared light and makes a deliberate choice to display it as purple. The camera sensor has red, green and blue pixels, and it just so happens that these pixels are receptive to a wider range of the light spectrum than the human eye equivalent, including some infrared. Infrared light apparently triggers the pixels in roughly the same way that purple light does, and the sensor can't distinguish between infrared light and light that actually appears purple to humans, so that's why it shows up like that. It's just an accidental byproduct of how camera sensors work, and the budgetary decision to not include an infrared filter in the lens to prevent it from happening.

One plugs into line voltage

Well, but that's not what's coming out of the end that you plug into the razor. The wall plug for it contains a transformer that steps it down to 15V. Would still be a bad idea, but it's not line voltage.

Ist das ne ernsthafte Frage, oder willst du hier nur ne Diskussion über Feminismus und/oder trans-Rechte anzetteln?

So, basically cloud saves with extra steps, except you only get a single save and can't replay the game? Sounds even worse than current solutions, honestly

Also, average drive length is completely irrelevant for this question. People are not worried about their typical daily trips when evaluating a new car's range, they're worried about the occasional longer trip they might have to make and not having to have a separate car or other accommodation for that.

Because the balls did often need cleaning, whereas I've never heard of the moose wheel needing it

The thing is, movement is relative. Everything on earth is constantly in motion if you're observing from any other celestial body, so motion itself can't be what breaks portals. What it might be, though, is acceleration. Those panels in the video seem to be moving at a constant speed, so aren't experiencing any substantial acceleration, making a portal on them possible
