  • Yeah, it’s insane we still have to deal with this in 2023… and it’s even worse for trans people, “transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely” and all that.

    There are people who aren’t financially independent yet that are facing the very real possibility of getting disowned by their family and thrown out on the street if they come out as anything but cishet. It sucks, but keeping this kind of information private can be lifesaving.






  • The contacts are gold, which definitely doesn’t oxidize any more than solder considering it, y’know, doesn’t oxidize in air at all ever. The solder doesn’t really add any contact surface area, and even if it did, it makes no difference for digital signals. “Better conductivity” doesn’t improve digital sigs either. And why would the contacts ever disconnect?

    I can’t confirm the last paragraph, but HDD manufacturers could just move the PCB closer to the chassis and/or make the contacts’ springs a bit stiffer to achieve the exact same thing, which is slightly more pressure between the contacts. That’s literally all you’re getting here.
