There’s a thing called the power button. You can’t track a phone that’s turned off

When I travel I pre-purchase an eSIM and it’s just ready to turn on when I land

You realize that it doesn’t physically do anything, right? Like it just has some bits on it

I buy eSIMs every two months when I travel. I only had issues when I fucked it up by deleting one myself. I’m on eSIM like 20

eSIM just makes more sense. Why do you need a card just to store some random bits of data when your phone can store hundreds of gigabytes of data?

Let’s go down the list of the biggest companies in the world
Nvidia, Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Broadcom, Meta
They don’t manufacture anything, not even Amazon. They outsource Amazon basics to other companies in China.
The biggest companies in the world don’t actually produce anything themselves, you have to go down to TSMC and oil companies to get to actual tangible items

There’s nothing illegal about working overseas

I already solved the issue by having a foldable phone
- Comment on Samsung reveals first tri-fold phone 2 weeks ago:
I don’t want to be zoomed out by default and have to zoom everything
- Comment on Samsung reveals first tri-fold phone 2 weeks ago:
I don’t want to have to do this every time I find a page that’s too wide. I just want to pinch out to zoom out and then zoom back in when I’m done. It should have a zoom stop at 100% so it’s easy to find the setting to zoom back to normal after zooming in or out. It’s such an easy concept, yet nobody implemented it.

Well, you could actually float the keyboard when unfolded
- Comment on Samsung reveals first tri-fold phone 4 weeks ago:
When you try to look at a spreadsheet and there are too many columns even in portrait mode, I open up the phone.
For some reason nobody figured out “zoom all the way out” functionality on the phone yet

- Comment on What OpenAI Did When ChatGPT Users Lost Touch With Reality 5 weeks ago:
There are things chatbots are useful for. Like writing short scripts to automate some tasks. I had mostly ChatGPT write a Haskell script to enable the tproxy globally, write to a .env file for the other services to know the IP of the proxy and to restart on change
I also wrote a script to change the IP of my proxy and update the DNS record. The tproxy software uses the authoritative DNS server to initially look it up to avoid having to wait for the TTL to expire
Doing this by hand was annoying and error-prone

- Comment on Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 Phones 1 month ago:
If you yank a magnetic stick on charger it just disconnects. If you yank a wired cord it can break it.
I never said you must stop using wired charging. If you’re using it while charging and it works for you, you can continue to do that.
- Comment on Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 Phones 1 month ago:
Nobody said you must get rid of wired charging.
Over four years I’ve broken three or four cables. Every time it’s because the phone moved while plugged in. Whether it’s my error (forgetting it’s plugged in) or the cat knocking the phone down, nothing breaks when the phone falls down from the wireless charger
- Comment on Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 Phones 1 month ago:
It doesn’t have plugging and unplugging cycles and doesn’t get bent in different directions, so it will basically never break unless you use the phone while holding the charging pad
- Comment on Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 Phones 1 month ago:
You keep on connecting and reconnecting the USB-C cable, and if you use it while charging you probably bend it.
The cable in the charging pad never gets unplugged
