To be honest, I'm used to writing on cables to be branding or the like. I could imagine filtering that out and only looking at the connector

Sadly, they don't teach critical thinking or observational skills in school. They should.
ThorkildTheLeper
They have an entire essential skill dedicated towards critical thinking at my school. I can confirm that it isn't as effective as you think
RealNormMacDonald
For real though, the amount of people I know with little to no observational skills is terrifying
BearsBeetsandBattlestarGalactica
We do
Wuhaa
Depends on the country I guess. It's an essential part of all school levels here.

eatyourmeat
I always thought calculating error and adjusting criteria on an experiment was critical thinking. And that was 8th grade
aGrumpyPotato
See while those ARE thinking exercises, most people don't take them seriously. They BS it or copy it, and the teachers give them grades.
Mcshmile
Then why would those same people take critical thinking classes seriously?
aGrumpyPotato
If you design a course to require thinking to pass, you automatically force kids to think whether they like it or not. Schools have to 1/?

that's nice giving her the benefit of the doubt, but from the actual context we have, this does seem like a "failure to read" situation.

also a ton of apple products dont have hdmi ports. you would need an adapter... because apple doesnt appreciate other products

As IT tech: I hate DisplayPort in general. Why make some goofy alternative to HDMI you never have a proper cable for, when there's HDMI.
Iammoney45
Doesn't display port have a built in locking mechanism aswell while hdmi does not?
pgdave
DisplayPort can handle higher resolutions better.
r0b0c0rp
As well as refresh rate and it can Daisy chain.
AttackMyWeakSpotForMassiveDamage
DisplayPort has higher bandwidth than HDMI, even if it doesn't have audio. One cable can drive 3-4 monitors.
5NoteHalf
An excellent point! I'd forgotten about that.
ICollectReactionGifs
as an IT tech, it was meant as a replacement to DVI, not as an alternative to HDMI. DVI was a shit show at the time with 3 different types.
5NoteHalf
I get it. But again, I don't see the necessity. HDMI was well established. It's like Laserdisc - Good design but unnecessary.

That video is so painful. We watched it in my College Algebra class to show why math is actually important in life.
galvertez
k but you don't need math to know that. no one actually does the math for 60/1. i didn't have 1/1 burgers today i just had a burger.
nikolae1991
Well obviously its common sense, but she literally didn't understand that 60 miles per hour means you go 60 miles in 1 hour.
galvertez
it's simply reciting a previously stated fact. anyway it's still a valid lesson. you need math. it's real.
galvertez
OTOH if someone said 'you ate a full plate of 60 burgers' that person would probably go "well i wouldn't be hungry after the first two"
galvertez
to me that is the same as saying "if you ate all the food on a plate full of one burger, how many burgers did you eat" no math necessary.

High maintenance doesn't have anything to do with who pays for the work. It has to do with how much work goes into maintaining the look.
LeatherBoots
In that case I really don't understand why people say high maintenance as a negative thing. It's her own choice.
BooBooBritches
Because people who tend to make looking THAT good so much of a priority also tend to be super self-absorbed, and that is a negative.
