My sister has that snap 4 luxe type item from Amazon and it definitely has such a strong magnet that even attached to the case, it will stay stuck on the wireless charger haha, but I doubt the peltier cooling as effective at keeping it cool because the case is quite thick with snap 4 luxe increasing thickness too. While for my case less phone with only the slim magsafe ring, it is working really effectively at cooling the phone.
I tried those slim frameless cases that had a magsafe ring embedded, too. Unfortunately they were a complete failure. One issue is that they break on the corner that has the S-pen, and one case in particular would fail to stay attached on the phone properly. I wish they were made properly but they were epic fails.(The other case had a metal plate for the magsafe notch, fails at preventing product from twisting)
I looked at those frameless types but they are made of metal and would affect wireless performance. on top of that the design made me feel uneasy.

I personally went without a case myself and also decided against putting anything on the phone except the ESR magnetic ring to make my s25 ultra able to attach to magsafe products.(Small dab of Loctite glass glue to keep it from popping off with the magsafe products or just slide off the product instead of straight popping it off)
I agree on it helping the phone keep cooler without the case. I even got one of those peltier cooling qi2 wireless chargers to make the phone extra cool when I am driving.
Its a bit annoying to think a bit more on where I place my phone down or holding it but at least I am making sure I am using the phone and placing it in places that will not lose it.

I am thinking of the nothing CMF phone 2 rn

Get the loctite glass glue and place a few dots around to help with adhesion but nott too much that it is permanent when you want to remove it.
I personally sprung for the ESR magsafe hololock ring because I wanted it to be as flush as possible on my Samsung S25 Ultra. Being slim but still help with attaching to magsafe products is nice, especially since I live in a place that gets hot, I bout a qi2 car charger that has a peltier cooling unit in it. Phone is ice cold when I slide it off the charger
Side note:
popping it perpendicular to the surface has shown me that without the loctite glass glue, the ESR magnet ring will stay on the charger. So I just make sure to slide it off horizontally. - Comment on Does anyone use a phone without a protective case? 3 weeks ago:
Wait doesn’t the cyber truck had an issue where it was possible for it to rust? Not to mention the unreasonably large glass windshield that would be expensive to replace?
- Comment on Fucking leeches 3 months ago:
there is one separating detail that is not shared between most of us. It really depends on how long that tenant lives there. if they are living there for a long period of time and like the place, then yes you are a leech, but a good one since they enjoy living there enough to stay. On the other hand, if you switch tenants often because of high rent costs or bad housing(maintenance included), then you are just simply a leech and not a good one. If they leave for other reasons outside of your control, then you are not a leech and provided good housing for someone.
That is only for leeching aspects. I bet there are more complex thinking involved but this is what I think who a financial/real state leech is.
- Comment on Framework’s first desktop is a strange—but unique—mini ITX gaming PC 3 months ago:
I think the biggest limiting factor for your mini PC will always be the VRAM and any workload that enjoys that fast RAM speed. Really, I think this mini PC from framework is only sensible for certain workloads. It was poised as a mobile chip and certainly is majorly power efficient. On the other hand I don’t think it is for large scaling but more for testing at home or working at home on the cheap. It isn’t something I expected from framework though as I expected them to maintain modularity and the only modularity here is the little USB cards and the 3D printed front panel designs lol

No the customers(ie the manufacturers) will get the savings. Consumers get to pay the same amount while being harvested as much data as possible
- Comment on A new generation of cheaper batteries is sweeping the EV industry 7 months ago:
You do realize a decade is a very short time for something at a scale this large with complex interactions that needs to be reliable, efficient and reproducible at scale.
- Comment on Microsoft Teams is dog shit 7 months ago:
Windows 11 “out of box experience” has been made specifically to further control and limit options in favor of value added options. Such as making online services more integrated into an ever bloated OS. The only option I know about setting up the first account as local was to disable the internet connectivity check they are enforcing now using a command prompt that required going well out of my way to get and even I saw how much they pressure you into going along with their demands/instructions instead of allowing freedom/open use of anything you wish to use.
- Comment on I benchmarked 6 different metal USB sticks 7 months ago:
For durability and smallest features, a metal unibody types that don’t have seams are great.
For performance, I opt to have an nvme SATA enclosure that is USB 3.1 capable. Copying 15 GB in a minute is so satisfying.
For price, nothing beats free. Just don’t expect much more than what you get.

Buy more than you need and redistribute them to those in need of non dozen-ist values, be the change the world needs

- Comment on smart engineering 8 months ago:
Unfortunately, that would not match up with the other three panels. The smart engineer should be able to figure out how to satisfy the customer. It is up mostly to public interpretation, as most art is. That is how I see it but I won’t deny someone who labels themselves as an engineer could be a con artist in disguise.
One way I see this is how we interpret the glass half full or glass half empty. There are some ways to see it and modify it a little and meaning can take a different more pronounced form. So yeah both can be valid but then we are considering if the label engineer is truth or a lie.
- Comment on smart engineering 8 months ago:
You’re a moron to think this is about scamming someone. The smart engineer realized he can offer a louder option but didn’t want to disturb the preset settings the customer is used to. If anything, not only is the engineer smart but empathetic towards how troublesome learning a new tool is like. Let me tell you it is not a problem that the volume is not standardized. Instead, it is nice to know that the customer can choose options he is familiar with AND now has a setting to go louder. Of course the much smarter way is to make the dial more analog input than a digital input. However, the digital dial will not move as easily when bumped. Trade-offs were made. For aesthetics and function. Yes I know some music nerds who like the dial more than a touch button.
Now don’t get me started with how they can sell it however they want. If it is louder than the product it is comparing against and the buyer likes it then it is not a scam, it was a fair trade.
