Breaking a cable with style!

Bad for the charging port. You know, that hole with 24 extremely tiny wires and pins? Once that's damaged, you have a brick, not a phone.

This is why I believe in UK plug supremacy. Extreme support, extreme safety. Be extreme today. Convert to the UK plug

[–] the_tab_key@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago

That's make the phone pretty bulky

[–] TheOctonaut@mander.xyz 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They're talking about the USB port. Which might have been inferred from "24 pins".

You may hide now before the europlug F squad I called gets here.

Schuko is way nicer and isn't a landmine when left on the floor.

You don't have wireless charging as a backup?

[–] Faresh@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don't think I have seen many phones with that feature.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You... haven't seen many phones that can charge wirelessly? In 2024??

[–] desktop_user@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 months ago

the phones with that feature are way to expensive

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 4 points 2 months ago

A backup, sure. But I use Android Auto every day. Also, I wouldn't be able to charge it from my power bank or use headphones if the USB-C port was damaged.

At first, I wasn't sure where I was supposed to be looking. Thank you red arrow.

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I can't see any red arrows, can anyone help me with a red circle?

[–] lolrightythen@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

What is this brown arrow and why does it taste like copper?

Honestly why hasn’t anyone thought of this before? It’s SO SIMPLE

If the cable is that long, why not just set it on the floor?

I'm a huge fan of creating a meme about another person, and using a drawing like this. It allows the person to remain anonymous.

She looks happy, at least. Maybe it's kinda meditative. You don't want to move too much. Just sit, relax, and be a table.

[–] nulluser@programming.dev 17 points 2 months ago

Be a ~~goldfish~~ table.

I didn't realize heads were a recent invention.

They aren't new per se, but few people actually use them

It's brilliant in its simplicity. I'd never think of that. I'd try to overengineer something out of the environment, but with less skill than MacGyver.

[–] anarchrist@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I would just stand and hold it. Or see if it could reach a pocket

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I would just pull out the longer cable from my backpack. Or use the power bank I have in my backpack. Or use the power bank as a pass-through to use both the cables. Or accept the fate and shutdown my primary phone partially* or completely.

*Partial shutdown means disabling certain services and features to save power without fully shutting down everything. This does usually not mean using a battery saver. I use MIUI, it is already fairly unpredictable and regular battery saver** only makes this situation worse.

**There's also ultra battery saver which kills everything deemed unnecessary running in the background. That couldn't be more predictable.

Is there any reason to not put the phone on the charging brick?

[–] sarmale@lemmy.zip 20 points 2 months ago

Being on the metro the phone ~~could~~ will easily fall when accelerating and braking

[–] DillyDaily@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I can never vet mine to balance, I can't line up my phones centre of gravity because the wall is always in the way.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

the vetting process can indeed be very difficult

[–] Donebrach@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Marcille-ass dungeon-meshi sketch all like “I can just order grub hub if I need it.”

There is now an IMAP community and this has been reposted there. :)

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 27 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm sorry, IMAP? Like... The mail protocol?

[–] rambling_lunatic@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 months ago

"I missed a picture". All resemblance to email protocols real or imagined is purely coincidental.

[–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

Seems like crossposting is an effective way to seed a community, because the crosspost got about 120 upvotes, and the subscriber count is now up to 60.
