Context: This is the second year I’ve been trying to hit 69% battery at 4:20 on 4/20.
It’s stupid, but I’ve set a goal, damn it, now I have to wait another year to try again. 😆
But… it’s charging?? Why did you charge it PAST 69?
So close. Once again missed the mark by a mere 1%. I was at 68% at this time last year.

That was right when I grabbed it. I got distracted and forgot to check it earlier.

Distracted… On 4/20? What, pray tell, would one be doing at 4:20 on 4/20? Hmm…
copd@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
You only had to concentrate for 60seconds.
ONE JOB

If at first you don’t succeed, change your time zone!
Also can I please have a link to the voyager wallpaper?
ptz@dubvee.org 4 weeks ago
I looked, and it only seems to exist as a temp file somewhere on my phone. I guess I just clicked “Set as wallpaper” years ago and it’s been there since. I cannot find the original on my phone, and my Google searches for that are coming up dry (even reverse image searching from my existing screenshot).
Here’s the closest I can find: deviantart.com/…/USS-Odyssey-NX-94276-322656168
It’s the USS Odyssey (Intrepid Class) but the framing is similar to the one I have as my wallpaper.

Thank you for putting in so much effort!

Maybe you can go back in time with some kemocite and by venting warp plasma into the cargo bay and catch it at the right moment.
WarlordSdocy@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Then once you do that find a spatial anomaly that causes a time loop so you can keep trying till you get it.
akilou@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
You should go down below 69% and then charge back up to it close to 4:20
ptz@dubvee.org 4 weeks ago
Heh, yeah. I tried. Was on a long call earlier and was pacing, so couldn’t keep it on charge. Had to get back up from about 44% at 3:45. I even cranked the brightness, turned on all the wireless radios, and tried to drop it by 1% before the minute ticked over, but to no avail.
Ah, well. Try again next year. lol
JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
Sure, that, rather than changing your phone’s clock. But I guess you want to do it legitimately.

3DMark or some other benchmark utility might help next time.

How is it having Mint Mobile?
ptz@dubvee.org 4 weeks ago
Bout as good as having T-Mobile (uses their network). Will definitely vary from place to place, though. Kinda “meh” here since they mostly use band 66 for large cells which has pretty crap penetration into buildings.

Going to shill my community since its related. !t_mobile@lemmy.ml.

Huh, good to know there’s an explanation for why I was getting no signal inside my home when I was on T-Mobile. It’s the reason I switched.
dan@upvote.au 4 weeks ago
My wife used Mint Mobile from 2018 until 2022 and really liked it. We moved in 2022 and unfortunately our new place had very poor T-Mobile coverage so we had to switch, otherwise we’d still be using them. She switched to US Mobile which give you a choice of using T-Mobile or Verizon.
They’re QCI 7 rather than QCI 6 though, which basically means they’re considered lower priority on the T-Mobile network. If there’s congestion (not enough network bandwidth for everyone that wants to use it), customers on QCI 6 are given priority. Every MVNO except for Google Fi is QCI 7, while Google Fi and most plans directly through T-Mobile are QCI 6.

Looks like you have a problem with pulling out in time.

LOL. Must be hereditary.

Nah, lol, going for an honest triple word score. Has to be legit. 😀
Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
Don’t worry, the Alpha quadrant is stil decades of opportunities years to get it right.
And to double the chances “7/9” (September? July?) date is a valid choice too.
cordlesslamp@lemmy.today 4 weeks ago
You can try again at 4:20 June 9th (AM & PM so you got double chances)
Eigerloft@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Nice-ish
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 weeks ago
Custom adaptive charge to have it stop charging at 69% when your alarm goes off. 😌
ptz@dubvee.org 4 weeks ago
My phone is way too ancient for that to be an option, but I’m trying to actually upgrade this year, so 🤞 for that being an option next year.

Just try again im 12 hours
ptz@dubvee.org 4 weeks ago
Then it would be on 4/21 (I’m going for the triple word score lol).
I could get a last minute flight to California and maybe make it, but I’m not that dedicated. I’ll just wait till next year.
bdonvr@thelemmy.club 4 weeks ago
16:20 just doesn’t have the same effect though
Summzashi@lemmy.one 4 weeks ago
In that case neither does 20/4.
user1234@lemmynsfw.com 4 weeks ago
Why not just adjust the clock to say 4:20 when you’re at 69% battery?
