Oh right, is that when they moved to a different tectonic plate?
“Europe and the UK” did they move the UK to another continent, or did they mean the EU?

China is the largest holder of foreign reserves in the world, and has been for years. We’re talking trillions of dollars, not a few billion.

2·10 months agoAh, is that why my headphones sound all weird for a second when a call comes in and the audio hasn’t paused yet?
Think of the number of times you’ve needed your phone to be waterproof versus the number of times you could have plugged in a decent pair of headphones and not had Bluetooth introduce lag and mono audio.

Technology@lemmy.world•Automattic "aligns" it's contributions to WordPressEnglish
1·10 months agoApologies for the laziness here, but I self-host a WordPress site with a bunch of old blog posts that are now private. I’m not ready to make it an offline archive yet (maybe I’ll restart blogging one day), but I’m not interested in supporting or otherwise using WordPress any more. I don’t have any major requirements or plugin dependencies.
What is a good alternative to self-hosting WordPress these days?
Edit: thanks for the suggestions so far. One key requirement is the ease of importing hundreds of WordPress posts from its output format. I don’t really want to manually process them all, I did that to get them into WordPress way back when I switched to it.
If you’re on Lemmy then you’re not gonna like the answer… It’s ChatGPT.

Technology@lemmy.world•would you buy a compact laptop that has spacebar touch sensitivity and allows you to adjust input sensitivity, giving it dual purpose (a spacebar and a mouse)+ it has integrated A5 printer in it?English
2·10 months agoI print roughly two or three things per year, and they’re always bigger than A5, so that would be a completely useless feature for me.

71·11 months agoI don’t think making the end of a cable smaller is an important thing any more. We’re not dealing with SCART or serial cables any more. USB C is definitely small enough. Micro and mini were small enough too.
The complaint about the cables seems fine when the company the post is about profited from those cables. Design flaws boosted their sales.
As for the regular USB cables eventually fraying, sure, all things have wear and tear, but some things are designed to fail faster for profits.
