Breaking a cable with style!

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 57 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

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 3 weeks ago

That's make the phone pretty bulky

[-] TheOctonaut@mander.xyz 19 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[-] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Phones are pretty light as long as you set it in there gently and didn't do it often it wouldn't hurt anything.

You don't have wireless charging as a backup?

[-] Faresh@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 3 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] desktop_user 4 points 3 weeks ago

the phones with that feature are way to expensive

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 4 points 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago

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

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 20 points 3 weeks ago
[-] lolrightythen@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] androogee@midwest.social 3 points 3 weeks ago

Absolutely the worst DC character

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.

[-] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 58 points 3 weeks ago

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 16 points 3 weeks ago

Be a ~~goldfish~~ table.

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 20 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 3 weeks ago

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.

Now that's using yer noggin!

Now I can't unhear that voice

[-] sundray@lemmus.org 2 points 3 weeks ago

🐻 waka waka waka!

[-] RandomVideos@programming.dev 16 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] sarmale@lemmy.zip 19 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] DillyDaily@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

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 3 weeks ago

the vetting process can indeed be very difficult

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

[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 27 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] rambling_lunatic@sh.itjust.works 17 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 3 points 3 weeks 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.

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