Sean Nichols @mrputter.bsky.social · 31/12/2025This’s actually literally a thing that happened in this case: see Type N (IEC 60906-1) plugs. Originally intended to be a standard for the EU replacing all the existing national European plugs, it… didn’t. Instead it just became yet another competing variant, today found only in Brazil / S Africa. 010
Sean Nichols @mrputter.bsky.social · 28/12/2025I mean, _some_ of us prefer podcast type media on YT because of the visuals. I have poor hearing & can’t listen to voices for long without straining and/or drifting off as it just becomes “noise.” With YT I can boost the signal with lip reading/body language, just as in real life. Helps immensely. 000
