figure out how far up before you stop washing your face

Not true. Check my other comment on this thread where I talked about my experience with 3rd party USB-C cables

Sure, but whether they were forced to move over or did it out of the (non-existent) goodwill of their hearts wasn’t the point of contention in the discussion and results in a similar outcome. The initial commenter pointed out that they couldn’t share a charger and I just mentioned that this should be a non-issue once lightning is phased out.

Gotcha. It could be entirely possible that the anecdotal experiences regarding phone data that you’ve heard could be simply because they’re heavier users or that they purchased a smaller quota. From personal experience, I really have not noticed any background processes that suck up data.

Regarding the type-C cable though, I have actually experienced that problem where cheaper cables do not work for charging. This part is PURE SPECULATION on my end, but I suspect Apple stops cheaper cables from charging on the off chance that it increase the risk of a fire (cheap cables = thinner wires = more resistance = more heat) because when stuff like that makes the news, the headline is typically “iPhone caught fire while charging” and not “Cheap cable caused a fire.” I spent a lil more on a third party USB-C cable that was higher quality and rated to charge up to 65W and have had no problems with it. I’m not sure what the economic situation is in Latin America, but where I am (Malaysia), I spent about RM60 (which is roughly equivalent to $13) on the cable that worked compared to RM20 for the cable that didn’t, just to give you a point of reference.

The first paragraph, I can get along with and understand where you’re coming from.

The second paragraph, could you elaborate what you mean by “eat up your phone plan just by existing”? I personally use an iPhone and have had very normal data usage rates that is accurately tracked through both the phone and my carrier’s app.

Also regarding borrowing a charger, they just moved to USB-C so that will be a non-issue a few years down the road when lightning is phased out.

actually me way back in high school. i had heard about bitcoin and went “ooh what an interesting way to make money” set up the miner and opened a wallet and everything, never mined and forgot about it. fast forward to the crypto boom 10 years later and i was sad

that’s just straight up inaccurate information. bluetooth low energy has a data rate of 2mbps, which was introduced with bluetooth 5. regular bluetooth 5 has a 50mbps bandwidth based on a very cursory google search

to answer your edit, yes all creatures started out as single celled-organisms many billions of years ago and gradually evolved. this process is still happening today but takes millions of years, not something you would observe in a human lifetime

shut the fuck up LMFAO

indeed. completely forgot to mention him but I did a thing is also a very fun watch

stuff made here for some crazy projects and impressive engineering/software writing

j kenji lopez alt for very informative cooking videos

michael reeves for a crack cocaine version of stuff made here

thank you sir!

how would i go about implementing these filters for ublock origin? is there a tutorial i could use?

+1 to this. if they’re giving you shit about what type of soup you eat the rest of the relationship is not gonna be very pleasant either

i second this. I’ve owned 2 so far, the 2017 model and the refreshed 2020 model. Both have had their share of overheating issues, awful audio drivers (baked in wavemaxx sound “enhancement” that cannot be removed), hardware issues, etc. Would not recommend. The only thing they have going for them is they look so damn good

technically all flip phones are foldable phones \o/

hello from penang o/

rip in peace (brain fart moment lmao)

iirc correctly it’s a thought experiment where you have a hotel with an infinite number of rooms, full with an infinite number of guests. a bus comes along with an infinite number of guests, can the hotel accommodate them? the answer is always yes and simply depends on how you move the current guests around in the hotel. it gets pretty convoluted so check out the link for more info bc god knows i wouldn’t be able to relay it accurately

not op but personally i find the briefness and abruptness of “what” funnier especially coming after “quick question”
