Regulations are written in blood, and disclaimers are written in lawsuits.

Former Oculus Go users:

First time?

DAK catalogs were wild. Each item had a magazine article length description that was clearly bullshit. But by the end you're certain that the constant emptiness you feel is from not owning the World's Best 16 Channel Stereo Graphic Equalizer.

An alkaline AA may have more capacity, but the LiPo has lower internal resistance and it's electrolyte is flammable. The worst the alkaline would do it shorted or punctured is get warm and poop out KOH.

I have an HL-2270DW and the toner low light comes on well before prints start washing out. Fortunately the toner life is tracked by a plastic gear on the cartridge, and it takes just a minute to roll it back. When it does run out, good third party replacements are under $20.

Other than niche Keysight gear that's has three layers of nameplates because it's '90s vintage NOS, LXI and USB-TMC have replaced GPIB.

Like that time Keurig used a very special shade of orange on the lid of their pods as DRM?

Applying power by itself doesn't keep SSDs from degrading like DRAM though. It's up to the manufacturer to design scrubbing into the controller to correct errors on infrequently accessed data before it's too far gone.

Plasma 6 and Wayland are working great under Tumbleweed for me on my 2-in-1 laptop, but there's still no usable virtual keyboard package like Maliit in Factory.

If you're piping any of those commands to or from awk, you can also go.

USB 5V power can be equally noisy, even from a powered hub, so that argument doesn't make any sense. PCIe has a high current 12V rail available that has much more margin than USB for filtering with an LDO and run your signal chain well above the noise floor of the components.

Besides, Asus Xonar as in the picture can take 12V from a drive connector to bypass the motherboard PCIe 12V "just in case".
