I’ve also had to replace phones for broken USB ports which in the grand scale is probably more wasteful than the extra power use.

On one hand, yes, your port can break at some point. On the other, why would you throw away the whole phone if the usb port can be replaced? Going even further, you could always use your usb port for charging until it breaks and after that you could start using wireless charging. For data transfer there are plenty of apps and ways to wirelessly transfer data so that wouldn’t be a problem either. At the end of the day, you’re barely using your usb port and you’re also wasting twice as much (or more) energy that you would if you used a wired charger.

Wired turbo chargers are bad as well. However, although I don’t know about iOS, Android lets you plan your charge cycle. That makes my phone take about 8 hours to charge while I’m asleep.

Or you could just not use a fast charger and not worry about that. Either way, you’re moving the goalpost. Not all phones support fast charging and not everyone has a fast charger. I’d wager most people charge their phones with lower power (15/20w more or less).

I’d be interested to see how you measure that. It’s also not really a matter of opinion. Even though you may not notice a wild difference, your battery did degrade more than it would’ve, if you’d used a wired charger.

Also, the inefficiency is bad enough for me to rule it out. You literally waste at least twice as much power compared to a wired charger (source). Although we’re not talking about a crazy amount of power, it’s pretty selfish to waste it just because you don’t want to plug in a charger.

You do realize that wireless charging is also very inefficent and reduces your battery lifespan, right? It’s also kinda weird that your port goes bad after such a short time. Maybe you should clean it more often and make sure not to put any tension on it when you use it. I even have a 10 year old phone and the port (micro usb) still works perfectly fine.

Not having dialogue has nothing to do with. While the animals can only be so complex (if acting “naturally”), the storytelling is not limited to just that. They could’ve probably told more about the world with the elements and places the animals found. The animation was pretty crappy at some points too. The dog for example was not very well done.

Regardless of all of this, I’m not saying it should have been different, I only wanted to express that this movie is not worthy of an oscar when compared to something like Memoir Of A Snail, imo.

It’s a very simple film without much depth to be honest. Memoir of a snail was far better.

Who said that? That’s not the limiting factor. Also, smartwatches have crappy processors.

Supposedly, what’s hard is making a phone with good performance and battery life that’s also small.

Yes and no? Being a niche product, I feel like there should be a diy option where you get all of the parts as a kit for a reduced price. Maybe 30-35USD would make more sense. At 70 I would not even consider this product tbh.

Which is another way of saying “wishful thinking”?

Source?

$70 for a macropad? You can buy an entire kb for that price.

K. Keep using a service you hate then, I guess.

Dude, if you dislike it that much you could just like… not use it?

Afaik, business units are individual. Their products don’t finance each other.

If you see 0 ads and don’t pay anyone, I’m not sure how the service could be sustainable. I’m also against ads but only if you’re actually paying. That’s why I do pay for a yt family plan but also use adblock+sponsorblock.

It’s more like a remake rather than a “new take”.

I know this barely means anything but it really is refreshing to have an interaction with someone who not only treats others respectfully but who is also able to admit they didn’t know a part of the story.

It’s obviously totally fine if you still don’t agree with what I said or have other reasons to dislike GN or prefer LTT, but this type of attitude is precisely one of the things Reddit lost a long time ago.

That’s all. Thank you <3

That said, I don’t think we know if LTT knew the entire story at the time.

This is also discussed in MegaLag’s video. They did know at least about this issue affecting them, financially. So, they brought it up with Honey, who refused to make any changes. After that, they ended their sponsorship. If they didn’t figure out the full extent of the issue, it’s because they didn’t want to. I doubt you seriously think they didn’t have the resources to investigate further.

they would rather avoid the publicity for fear of retaliation, like they stated.

From who? Honey? If so, that’s a very mistaken mentality. They basically decided to stay quiet about something that was demonstrably hurting creators and consumers out of sheer selfishness. Coming from linus, who seems to be rather narcissistic, that doesn’t surprise me. It does suprise me that this excuse would be accepted by their viewers, who were negatively impacted by this decision. Again, if you see something, say something.

I still think GN goes out of their way to stir drama, whether it’s called for or not

Once again. Has there been an instance where it wasn’t called for? I think they just have a very strict moral compass and they respect that regardless of any financial hit or extra work it might cause them. That’s something I respect, a lot.

it sure seems like he just has an issue with Linus overall.

Did you read their post? Wouldn’t you have a personal issue with someone who says you’re autistic, quotes your work without actually quoting you, reaches out to your personal phone over random tweets because they think they’re about them and also misrepresent you publicly?

For example, after the GN video, Linus said he reached out to Steve and was ignored. What actually happened was that linus sent a message to Steve’s old phone, which they hadn’t used for over 2 years. If you want more examples and details, you can read GN’s post.
