  • There is no standard what red USB A ports mean. Could be fast charging through some proprietary protocol or other special features. Or just a design choice.

    USB ports with no symbol just don’t advertise what they’re capable of. Most phones support super speed data transfer. Basic USB-PD and display port output support is also common. They may also support other stuff, like pretending to be a webcam, audio output and much more. But you usually have to look in the manual or data sheet to know what is supported.





  • To be completely fair, I picked up sewing recently as a new special interest and I’m still in the learning phase.

    I prefer pure cotton (or linen or other cotton based fabrics like viscose or modal) and then the fabric you choose depends on how thick it needs to be and if it should be elastic (jersey, sweat) or not (eg. standard woven dress shirt fabric, denim, canvas,…). I buy most of my fabric online as I don’t like interacting with people, but going into stores definitely has advantages in that you can touch the fabric.

    I only machine sew (unless hand sewing small parts is kinda necessary). My fine motor functions are pretty bad (probably autism related), so I got a cheap standard sewing machine and a used serger from eBay.

    So far I’ve made a hoodie, some tops/t-shirts, some underwear ( didn’t come out very well tbh, had not the right fabric) and I’ve changed some store bought jeans and t-shirts to fit me better.

    Check out freesewing if you’re interested, there are lots of neurodiverse people on their discord server who can help you and the website can create sewing patterns for your sizes.



  • In Germany, juvenile detention is up to 24 years. Juvenile law is also not that straightforward, if it’s applicable also depends on how “childish” someone still behaves. In some cases one can be 20 and still go to an adult prison, e.g. if they’re very violent and wouldn’t fit into the education-oriented juvenile detention. On the other hand, older people who behave very childish (e.g. because of a disability) will usually not be put into an adult prison and instead get something more therapy oriented similar to juvenile detention.
