- Comment on Samsung phones can survive twice as many charges as Pixel and iPhone, according to EU data 3 days ago:
I wanna know what the hell people are doing to destroy the ports on their devices. Like are you plugging your phone in then using it as a lasso? Are you smashing the plug down against something and bending the connector? In 20 years of using various smart phones I’ve never destroyed the port on my device.
Lint? Yes, but you can clear that out easily. But like actually destroying ports when they’re clean?

Standardized testing isn’t the end all be all. Manufacturers have wiggle room. Most of the time you can also voluntarily derate yourself. EPA testing is standardized, but there’s a surprisingly wide margin that you can test your car at.
BMW is pretty famous for derating their HP output so they’re closer to whats available at the wheels. Every other manufacturer will measure at the crank (the balls)
- Comment on Samsung phones can survive twice as many charges as Pixel and iPhone, according to EU data 3 days ago:
Have you worked with 3rd party testing companies? It isn’t the end all be all. Even in 3rd party testing manufactures get wiggle room, and can voluntarily derate their numbers. Especially if there’s any accountability for failing to meet those numbers there’s a good reason to do so.
- Comment on Bitcoin investor moves $8 billion worth of crypto after 14 years, originally bought for less than $210,000 — 80,000 BTC transferred from Satoshi-era wallet 3 days ago:
Sure it was easy to mine, but it was also worthless.
- Comment on Why there are a lot of people migrating from Windows to Linux these days? 6 days ago:
W11 is full of AI integration, always-on data collection, and other no-sell bloatware
Windows 10 is the exact same BS, but 10% less in your face AI. Have people really been frog boiled this badly?
- Comment on Nothing has helped me learn to trust my instincts more than trying to plug in hundreds of USB devices over the years 1 week ago:
Thanks to USB C it’s always the right orientation. But good fucking luck getting it in without looking or scratching the shit out of your device.
The one thing I liked better about Lightning over USB C was the rounded corner which makes it easier to slide the plug in without doing damage to the device.

Because docsis 3.0 standard is nearly 20 years old at this point and 3.1 is significantly faster. Docsis 3.1 is only 15, but 4 (which is still 8 years old) probably isn’t supported by your ISP yet. But the speed difference is quite noticeable. 3.0 will theoretically do 1gbps down, and 100-200 up, but 3.1 could do 10 down and 1gbps up. In the age of symmetrical fiber internet those upload speeds are dire. 3.1 realistically gets you a symmetrical gig connection.
- Comment on Senate GOP budget bill has little-noticed provision that could hurt your Wi-Fi 1 week ago:
Yeah IoT devices don’t need bandwith, they need range (at low powers) and those lower frequencies get them that. 6ghz wifi has pretty small range and is awful for IoT stuff.
- Comment on Microsoft readies Windows 11 users for 25H2 1 week ago:
"Windows 11, version 24H2 and version 25H2 share the same source code, with only the additional features turned on.
Haven’t the past like 2 H2 updates been this way?
- Comment on What is this clock icon in my phone status bar? 1 week ago:
Do you use tasker or any automation app? Anything time based will trigger the clock.
- Comment on Owners of laptops with very cheap aftermarket batteries, is it worth the discount? 1 week ago:
For a laptop that old it’s not worth the money. Anything “good” is going to be at least 10 years old just sitting in a box rotting.
- Comment on Windows is getting rid of the Blue Screen of Death after 40 years 1 week ago:
This is really an attempt on clarity and providing better information and allowing us and customers to really get to what the core of the issue is so we can fix it faster,
How is this making it faster? Does removing the frowny face really speed up people understanding the problem?
- Comment on Jellyfin over the internet 1 week ago:
In 3 years I haven’t had a single attempted connection that wasn’t me. Once you get to the ephemeral ports nobody is scanning that high.
I’m not saying run no security or something. Just nobody wants to scan all 65k ports. They’re looking for easy targets.
- Comment on Jellyfin over the internet 1 week ago:
Change the port it runs on to be stupid high and they won’t bother.
- Comment on First time setting up a NAS 2 weeks ago:
Zfs through trunas will let you do raid 1, then jbod more raid 1s as you add more drives. That’s how I’ve gradually gone from 2 12TB, to 14TBs, the. Finally up to 20TBs without any hassle. I’m sure other software raids will do the same.
- Comment on Hey PC game developers, please follow Stellar Blade as an example for PC optimization in the future, because it absolutely rocks 2 weeks ago:
And ran on the xbox 360… which had 512 MB.
- Comment on Hey PC game developers, please follow Stellar Blade as an example for PC optimization in the future, because it absolutely rocks 2 weeks ago:
It’s a negative feedback loop.
The less time you can spend optimizing games the less you know how to optimize games. The less you know how to optimize games the more time it takes to optimize games. Optimizing games becomes too costly for management. Goto 10.
- Comment on YSK: WD-40 is perfect for removing adhesive left behind by stickers 2 weeks ago:
If you took the sticker off but the adhesive is left over just keep resticking and peeling it off. Do it quickly just push down and off.
- Comment on Selfhost Media server and NAS 2 weeks ago:
Why have two computers doing basically the same job when you could just have one?
Have the NAS be the media server and save power and get better performance.

- Comment on is there is any Lemmy server that care about privacy(does not require email), Does not impose limits on community posts like my current instance and does not have high amount of restrictions? 3 weeks ago:
As long as they’re not back to back I don’t mind. But what I HATE is people that spam out like 30 posts in one go. I don’t want an entire page to be posts from one person/community.
I especially hate it when it’s the exact same link, but different communities (shouldn’t be an issue for OP, but I hate that shit). Lemmy really needs to fix that. I don’t mind people cross posting 30 times, but I only want to see the same link once per page.
- Comment on Tough, Tiny, and Totally Repairable: Inside the Framework 12 3 weeks ago:
The heatsink comes away just as smoothly if you’re looking to reapply thermal paste down the road.
Not that you ever should, since it has PTM7958 which should never need to be replaced, and gets better with age.
- Comment on Why is my GPU's "3D" usage spiking so wildly when I'm not even playing a game? It keeps throttling up and throttling down and the noise is extremely annoying 3 weeks ago:
edit it’s not the fan making the noise either, I’ve manually activated the fan to see if the fan is causing the noise, and it’s a separate nose to the one annoying me. the noise I’m hearing is a more grind-y noise like a motorbike or propeller airplane that keeps going in and out
If manually limiting your GPUs fan speed doesn’t change it then GPU usage isn’t the cause. The spike in usage is just a symptom.

That’s what they said about the internet in its infancy.
- Comment on In old movies, it's only creepy rich people who have cameras in their house watching everything. Now everybody's creepy. 3 weeks ago:
I’m pretty sure OP is talking about security cameras, not webcams.
- Comment on In old movies, it's only creepy rich people who have cameras in their house watching everything. Now everybody's creepy. 3 weeks ago:
What’s the point in putting a camera in your house if it can’t see anything or it’s turned off?
- Comment on Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task 3 weeks ago:
For long drives I have maps up mostly to alert me for traffic. Even if I know the route.
- Comment on What do you have to wake up to to be considered a heavy/light/normal sleeper? 3 weeks ago:
When I was a teenager I slept through a fire alarm once. I didn’t wake up until my mom walked in the room. I woke up before she said anything. Just her existing in my room for 0.5 seconds woke me.
So… idk.
- Comment on Plex has paywalled my server! 3 weeks ago:
Plex really needs to do a Tailscale style connection to your server. But instead they chose to keep their outdated method of funneling all of their traffic through their servers, and need to charge lots of money in order to pay for it.
