Breaking a cable with style!

[–] [email protected] 60 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (4 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 months ago

That's make the phone pretty bulky

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I think they were taking about the lightning port on the iPhone.

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Or you open it up and replace the daughterboard holding the port. Worked fine when I did it for a friend.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is that actually how you spell, what I thought was, “dotter board”?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, motherboard, daughterboard.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh so no sonboard or fatherboard?

What kinda of world do we live in?….. 😔

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Considering you plug the daughterboard into the motherboard quite often, sonboard might be the more appropriate term, because of the male plug type. But maybe people didn't quite want to raise the spectre of motherfuckers.

Not to mention the implied incest lmao

You don't have wireless charging as a backup?

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

the phones with that feature are way to expensive

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

You can't assert that. Not to a certainty.

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Absolutely the worst DC character

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I can see it from your pov. But my favorite band is ween. And brown is the highest of compliments.

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (3 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Only until molten.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

With a high enough mains voltage absolutely.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I thought the hook is made of metal... is it not?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

The ones I've seen are extruded plastic shaped that way.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

the phone would topple until its done precisely
