- Comment on Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired? 4 hours ago:
Bonus: the landline was already wired so just don’t unplug it ever and use it like before.

That’s not physically possible.
But it is extremely efficient for what it is. The first number I found on google said it’s 95% efficient.

If it’s completely misaligned yes. But there’s a wide spectrum between too far off to even turn on, and perfectly aligned.
This is what magsafe/qi 2 fixes by including magnets which should have been there from the start.
- Comment on Why don’t wireless connections (WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.) use anything between 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz? 6 days ago:
Radiowaves are not free real estate. Every country has their own laws on what frequencies you’re allowed to use for what.
2.4ghz frequencies are basically as unregulated as they can get in the US, so that’s why wifi used that for the longest time. I’m not sure what devices used 5ghz before, but they took that frequency for wifi. You have to fight for every mhz you can get in radio waves.

0% battery isn’t actually 0%. There’s still plenty of juice to run all the cameras, cell, etc.

I like how they specified the xo-1 lcd. Everyone knows the one laptop per child computer from like 2010 is the most relatable device in 2025…… 15 years later… fuck.
- Comment on Why can’t HVAC be made smarter? 1 week ago:
They can, they’re called smart thermostats. They need to know the outside and inside temp and honestly the easiest way to do that is to just connect them to the internet. Plus they’re even better when they know it’s going to be cold all day vs cold for half the day, then the sun comes out and is really hot the second half.
- Comment on what instances allow you to follow users? 1 week ago:
Institutions could be the only time I’d be interested in following “a person”. But at the same time they could just make their own community that only they can post in.
- Comment on what instances allow you to follow users? 1 week ago:
That’s also why I use lemmy and not twatter/mastadon/any other clones. I’m not interested in some dudes random train of thoughts, I want X communities for Y interests I have. Not every person has exactly the same interests as me and I don’t really want to be bothered seeing that stuff.
- Comment on Anon judges books by their covers 2 weeks ago:
Judging them by the first 5 minutes of interaction is the cover. As a fast food employee you’re not going to learn that they just got fired from their job and the divorce was just completed today and the wife gets all the kids.
- Comment on it really do be like that 2 weeks ago:
Sometimes they don’t be like it is, but it do.
- Comment on The Simple Act of Buying a Graphics Card Is the Defining Misery of PC Gaming in 2025 2 weeks ago:
In stock, but not at the right price. MSRP is $250. The cards I’m seeing are $350 and up.
For $250 it’s a good card. For $350 not so much.
- Comment on How do you think smartphone manufacturers will comply with EU's replaceable battery regulation? 2 weeks ago:
That’s a ruggedized phone, most people don’t want a phone that’s twice as thick and doesn’t provide anywhere near twice the battery.
- Comment on The Simple Act of Buying a Graphics Card Is the Defining Misery of PC Gaming in 2025 2 weeks ago:
It should still be better. Or at least cheaper.

- Comment on Trump considers criminal charges for USAID staff after DOGE uncovered wild 'abuse' 3 weeks ago:
‘If they are detecting outright fraud, not just bad programs, not just ignoble programs, not just programs that don’t support the national interest of the United States, if they’re finding fraud, then, absolutely’ the wrongdoers should be prosecuted, Rep. Self said.
Big emphasis on the if. If there is actual fraud then yes they should face charges.
- Comment on Why can't we go back to small phones? 3 weeks ago:
5.5” with a 16:9 screen and bezels?
The iPhone 8+ was 6.24” x 3.06” while the latest 16 pro max is 6.42” x 3.06“ almost the same footprint but much more screen real estate.
- Comment on Why can't we go back to small phones? 3 weeks ago:
They don’t have a dedicated reader for that scenario? That’s the exact scenario I’d explicitly not want a phone for. Sure as a backup, but give me something small that’s the main reader.
- Comment on Popular Chrome extensions hijacked by hackers in widespread cyberattack 3 weeks ago:
We already have it for every 20 minutes but sometimes it fails for various reasons. 30 minutes is the backup before I just reboot it.
- Comment on Popular Chrome extensions hijacked by hackers in widespread cyberattack 3 weeks ago:
A lot harder to do when it’s not on your computer. At work we have some TVs displaying a web oage full screen. I’m not gonna vnc in just to hit F5 every 30 minutes.

Except for the spark plugs. You need small asian hands for those.
But with the right tools they are dooable with normal freedom loving hands.

That’s cool.
The executive brand doesn’t care about laws and will do things they’re not even allowed to do.

The time for “just vote” is long gone. Now people need to actually do something.
- Comment on Why do most Americans use an iPhone? 4 weeks ago:
But like… that’s because most of the time it’s nationalism.
But the thing is America is supposed to be all about “Freedom”
Freedom is nationalism to Americans

If OP isn’t then the commenters sure are taking up the reins
- Comment on Why do most Americans use an iPhone? 4 weeks ago:
Its the flagship aspect that makes a phone fast, not the OS.
And it’s the OS that keeps it fast a few years down the road.
- Comment on Why do most Americans use an iPhone? 4 weeks ago:
Android has a lot more free apps with ads, while on iOS there’s a lot more “gimme $2” apps. It’s a trade off.
- Comment on Why do most Americans use an iPhone? 4 weeks ago:
As soon as you start flashing custom firmware the “just works” goes right out of the window.
- Comment on Why do most Americans use an iPhone? 4 weeks ago:
And the phones that cost a fraction of the price are significantly slower, have a much worse screen, barely get any software updates, and overall just kinda suck.
Sure low and mid range phones are “good enough” but if it’s a device you use for hours every day do you really only want “good enough” for right now?
