His wife is so
fatgigantic, she takes up the entirety of his cone of vision regardless.
The only reason I know the contents of most classic literature is because of “So You Haven’t Read” series on YouTube.
Farid@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•EU law mandating universal chargers for devices comes into forceEnglish1·8 months agoI see. Looks to me that they just rebrand cheap Chinese phones and sell them in Russian-speaking countries. I doubt they offer anything extra compared to the phones they rebrand, except maybe Russian translation for the UI.

Farid@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•EU law mandating universal chargers for devices comes into forceEnglish1·9 months agoIIRC, all new small electronics sold in EU should support USB-C, but there are some exceptions, which I don’t remember. Mostly it was for wirelessly charging devices, like smartwatches and earbuds.
Btw, does your username have anything to do with the capital of Azerbaijan?
Farid@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•EU law mandating universal chargers for devices comes into forceEnglish1·9 months agoThat is correct.
Farid@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•EU law mandating universal chargers for devices comes into forceEnglish3·9 months agoEven for a 2020 release, it must be an outlier. Actually never heard of BQ Mobile until now. Apparently, they released their last phone in 2020, and in 2021 completely ceased operations. They were probably trying to use up all the remaining micro USB port modules to cut costs or something.
Farid@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•EU law mandating universal chargers for devices comes into forceEnglish2·9 months agoWhat phone is that? Genuinely curious. Was it actually manufactured in 2022 with micro USB?
I think the “Cat Looks Inside” meme would’ve been more appropriate, because the “Let’s See Who This Really Is” (a.k.a. “Scooby Doo Reveal”) meme is more about revealing something that is actually different, while CLI is sarcastic. Like “Wireless device. Look inside. Wires” isn’t revealing anything serious but makes fun of the misleading nomenclature. A good SDR example would be pulling the mask off a KKK member to reveal a cop, while they are supposed to be on the opposite sides, they are one and the same.
On the meme spectrum, SDR sits somewhere between CLI and “They are the Same Picture”.Thank you for not coming to my MemTalk.
Farid@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•EU law mandating universal chargers for devices comes into forceEnglish3·9 months agoMagSafe/Qi2 is definitely convenient, but you have to be wary of its downsides. 2 of which are:
- wireless induction wastes a good amount of energy being transferred
- wireless induction additionally heats up the battery and reduces its lifespan
But the good news is, it’s basically the defacto standard. Since Apple opened up this standard it pretty much killed all the competition. The adoption is expected to increase in the coming years.
Farid@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•EU law mandating universal chargers for devices comes into forceEnglish3·9 months agoAt the risk of sounding like Blizzard, don’t you have a phone? Even my previous phone, Galaxy S8 had USB-C. Or do you have an old iPhone?
Pretty much all electronics that came out in the past 4 years use USB-C. Just an example, here’s a non-exhaustive list of things that I charge with C:
- MacBook (2020)
- iPad (2018)
- Galaxy S10e (2019)
- Steam Deck (2022)
- Nintendo Switch (2017)
- Kindle (2020)
All of these are, on average, at least 4 years old. So I’m pretty sure the average consumer has already switched to primarily USB-C
Farid@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•EU law mandating universal chargers for devices comes into forceEnglish4·9 months agoI think you guys are taking about micro USB. PS4 controllers have micro, PS3 controllers had mini USB.
Farid@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•EU law mandating universal chargers for devices comes into forceEnglish9·9 months ago8 years, actually.
Farid@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•EU law mandating universal chargers for devices comes into forceEnglish9·9 months agoI mean, Apple has been selling USB-C cables ever since they transitioned MacBooks to use Thunderbolt ports in 2016. And yes, they are expensive. But the whole point of standardized cables is that Apple may sell them for $100 if they want to, there will be others who will sell it for a reasonable price and Apple can’t hold you hostage with their proprietary connector.
Farid@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•EU law mandating universal chargers for devices comes into forceEnglish23·9 months agoI have seen toothbrushes with USB-C, they just connect to the docking station. Which makes sense IMO, you wouldn’t want to plug and unplug your toothbrush every time you want to use it.
Farid@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•EU law mandating universal chargers for devices comes into forceEnglish521·9 months agoUSB-C doesn’t have speeds, it’s just a connector type. USB 1, 2, 3-3.2, 4 etc. is the protocol responsible for speed. You can have a USB-C connector with any implementation (except maybe USB 1). It can even do DisplayPort stuff.
So for USB-C to become irrelevant we need to come up with a better connector form factor. Which is unlikely to happen soon. But also, same thing happened with USB-B Micro connector (colloquially called micro USB), it was designated as a standard (but Apple managed to get an exemption) and manufacturers had no issues moving to a better connector, which is USB-C.
IMO, that’s the wrong direction. The right direction is to apply some good CRT shaders. Those games were designed for CRT and low resolutions and they can never look great when rendered at higher res. Upscaling works much better for PS2 generation and up.
It’s clearly pussy-trapped, not booby-trapped.
