i think it's crazy that any usb cable designed to supply over 60 watts or 480 Mbps needs to have a dedicated IC inside. the so called "E-marker" chip. at what point did electrical engineers think it was ok to turn cables into computers? the interface should handle all that not the cable. just sloppy and stupid. PoE can supply 100 watts and gigabit speeds with just a regular Ethernet cable. no excuses.
Been reading too much news today, while feeling a bit under the weather.
I did find a leaf building a protective cage around itself though.
Sounds like a plan.

Covid inquiry, Home Office
Just having a catch up on the headlines from the inquiry.
Saw them asking Priti Patel about plans to help vulnerable people.
Thought to myself "why are they asking her about that"? before realising that's something the Home Office is supposed to do.
It's meant to keep people safe.
What a damning indictment of the Home Office of recent years that I should be so surprised at having to connect those two things.
Grim.
We went to Joshua Tree yesterday (my second visit) and I brought my infrared camera along with me to see what I could capture. #infrared #photography #landscapephoto #landscapephotography

You have heard it said, "Those not learning from history are doomed to repeat it," but I tell you "those preventing history from being taught, intend to repeat it."
So you know how some people insist that you look at photos of their babies all the time, assuming you're interested in the minute changes since the last photo?
Yeah, so turns out I do that, but with fungi in my garden.
/it's been a long day
