    iFixit now sells a see-thru 65W USB-C PD power adapter.

    At $65 for a single 65W port and no folding plug, it won’t be stealing too much business from Anker — but when’s the last time you saw a PD charger suitable for your transparent gadget collection? I kinda love the look. Plus, it comes with a 6-foot 240W-ready cable, for whenever those chargers arrive.

    Earlier today, Reddit said it respected the protest. Now we’re less sure.

    I just sent this to Reddit PR:

    Reddit’s Fact Sheet says that ”We respect our communities’ ability to protest as long as mods follow our Moderator Code of Conduct” and also “We respect the communities right to protest.” Originally, we took that at face value. You can protest, as long as you don’t break the rules. We read your rules, and the rules included nothing about protests of this sort or any other.

    However, you are now telling us that by definition, a protest of this form breaks the rules. Therefore, by definition, Reddit does not support this form of protest.

    Lego remade the Eldorado Fortress from 1989.

    This was one of my “sets that got away,” so I’m overjoyed it’s coming back — particularly now it’s composed of several modular islands with their own secret underground passages instead of a single rigid baseplate. (You can “unfold” it kind of like the Lion Knights’ Castle.)

    It’s coming July 7th for $215, and I can’t wait to pair it with Lego’s Black Seas Barracuda remake when I find the cash.

    Intel may not have to pay $2.2 billion to the zombie.

    A jury found that Intel owed over $2 billion to a zombie chip company, but an appeal board disagrees: it’s invalidated both of the VLSI patents in question, Reuters and Law360 are reporting.

    VLSI rose from the dead specifically to sue companies — the original company helped Apple and Acorn produce the first ARM processors, but the new brand is an LLC under Fortress Investment Group.
