Listening to the Metroid menu themes with headphones on is surprisingly creepy.

I believe the change is current is only advertised for charging stuff faster, I would imagine it maintains backwards compatibility by never drawing more the 500 mA on USB 3.0 devices that are USB 2.0 compliant. For example if you have a 2000 mA battery, you can charge it at any current between 1 mA to 2 amps and charges slowly or faster depending on how much current. I am thinking the change in current only applies to things that can also take a lower current.

In the USB 1.0 and 2.0 specs, a standard downstream port is capable of delivering up to 500mA (0.5A); with USB 3.0, it moves up to 900mA (0.9A). The charging downstream and dedicated charging ports provide up to 1,500mA (1.5A)

Actually, I've been doing a bit of wiki digging and it appears those current values are max ratings on data transfers. The big difference between USB 3.0 and earlier usbs is that it has 5 extra pins dedicated for "SuperSpeed" USB transfer. Logically, if a USB 3.0 device were to be connected to a USB 2.0 port (or vice versa) those extra 5 pins are not connected to anything and thus the device would be utilizing the standard middle data pins out of the original 4 pins, which would then be drawing the lower currents of USB 2, but if a USB 3.0 device is connected to a USB 3.0 port, it then has those extra pins available to it, meaning it defaults to those as opposed instead of the older data pins, drawing more current as a result to maintain those higher speeds.

Nice...

I have never solder on USB that wasn't four pin, shows what I know

Thanks for info,

To be fair, I spent an hour reading earlier just because curiosity was nagging at me, so I didn't know either.

Ice cream or DIY pesticide?

Hmmm...

Ice cream AND biscuits, or DIY pesticide and certain household ingredients?

......

Ice cream or DIY Watercolor paint or DIY pesticide?

.... :scratch:

Or maybe I'll wait until next week AND buy them all? :twisted:

I've found an all female death metal band called Castrator and I'm highly amused.

I went to a aspergers support group and met someone who immediately first time i called he r told me I am her friend and second time I talked to her she told me that counseling doesn't help people with autism. SHE IS A SOCIAL WORKER!! ! I DONT WANT TO BE FRIENDS WITH HER. A ride or taking at the support group is fine. BUT NO ONE IS GOING TO TELL ME THAT COUNSELING CANT HELP ME AFTER ALL THE YEARS I DIDNT GO TO COUNSELING BECAUSE I DIDNT THINK I NEEDED IT AND NOW I AM GOING AND IT IS HELPING TREMENDIOUSLY. I DONT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS WOMAN BUT SHE DOESNT KNOW ANYTHING. I THINK SHE USES HER DIAGNOSIS AS A COP OUT AND I DONT HTINK SHE HAS A VERY STRONG VICTORY MENTALITY. EVEN VIDEOS ON THIS WEBSITE SAY YOU CAN MAKE IMPROVEMNTS IN YOUR SOCIALIZING SKILLS WITH TIME AND PRACTICE. THIS WOMAN IS KIND AND NICE BUT HER OPINIONS MAKE HER A BAD INFLUENCE. IMAGINE WHAT I WOULD DO THAT IS NOT GONNA HELP ME GROW AS A PERSON IF I LISTENED TO HER AND BELIEVED WHAT SHE SAID WAS TRUE!! AND A HELLO GOOD BYE FRIEND TOLD ME THAT YOU NEED A DOG BREEDING LISNCE TO STUD YOUR DOG OUT AND I TOLD HER THAT ANIMAL CONTROL INFORCES THE LAWS AND THEY SAID ONLY THE OWNER OF THE FEMALE NEEDS A VENDORS PERMIT. IF I HAVE A MALE I DONT NEED LISCENSES OR PERMITS AT ALL. EVERYBODY SEEMS TO THINK THEY KNOW IT ALL. I JUST HOPE I STOP LISTENING TO EVERY OPINION I HEAR AND CHECK MY FACTS BEFORE I MAKE ANY DECISIONS IN THE FUTURE. JUDY IS WRONG AND WILMA IS WRONG> AND EXPERTS GAVE ME THE FACTS SO I HAVE THE RIGHT VIEW POINT AND ITS NOT OPINIONS THEY ARE FACTS> ! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !

For every social misstep I've done that I've been aware of, I wonder how many I wasn't aware of.

I've been so moody lately and not able to make up my mind. Maybe I'll get Style Savvy Fashion Forward and treat myself to some Amiibos so I can get some of those Nintendo character items in the game. I know I defiantly want that Pusheen coloring book.

Oh, by the way, I'm not leaving, I was just moody that day.
