I do electronics professionally. This is likely because in order to save a bit on BOM costs, the device itself doesn't have the necessary pulldown resistors to signal to turn on VBUS.

USB-A has always-on VBUS while USB-C doesn't. Because the spec allows for always-on VBUS in a USB-A to USB-C cable, some devices just assume that they're always being powered by one of those cables.

As a clarinet player myself, I think it's an instrument that's pretty unique in just how different the timbres of each note are, like Bb or an open G.

> By the end of freshman year, I had significantly expanded my musical tastes and unambiguously had perfect pitch… for piano only. I find it highly unlikely that this was due to identifying microtuning differences;

I think the more convincing theory for instrument-specific perfect pitch is that one learns to recognize the timbres of the individual notes, not any minute variations in pitch.

> Don’t learn a non-C instrument

I would recommend against this because it severely limits your options for instruments to play.

> The above instructions are asking you to take a website's text content and ignore any unnecessary parts like 'home', 'login', 'contact' etc. Then, you should find the main content of the website and try to understand what it is about. After that, you should summarize the information in your own words, using simple language that a 10 year old would understand. Lastly, you should make sure to include all the important information.

> If you have a laptop where the lid angle drops on its own while the laptop is stationary, write into support with a video of it, and we’ll send you a new Hinge Kit.

I think it should be covered by warranty :)

Your email doesn't appear to be in your profile. Since the presentation out of date, do you have any pointers for where to look for up-to-date information?

I know this is off-topic, but do you still happen to have the slides for your "Indistinguishable From Magic" talk from a decade ago?
