that’s the same thinking that those apply who say people don’t need jack connectors, mind you

someone who is often listening to music with their phone and wired headphones, or even just when arriving at home from work, is going to use both the charger and the jack at the same time frequently.

another scenario is if the person uses their phone as the microphone for their PC.

you can argue that both must be rare because you have never seen them done, that’s my exact opinion about wireless charging

how many times does the average person use wireless charging? Seriously, I haven’t seen anyone do that yet, or know of someone who uses that.

and yet that’s still a major feature in lots of phones

Technically it is recording for the preview in OBS, which I think goes on even when OBS is not visible, and I assume involves constant copying and downscaling with whatever FPS, but it shouldn’t be encoding until you hit record. but if you check the CPU usage of OBS, maybe also GPU with nvtop, you can see how much it affects your hardware.

I would imagine it’s not too bad, but still it would be better if it would let the machine idle as it should.

I don’t know, matrix bridges exist, and while stability is a problem, a bigger one is that I don’t want my messages to be sent to facebook services at all.

encrypted my ass. this is to everyone who dares to think that encryption is worth anything in a closed source app, developed by facebook no less. it is used as a buzzword, no more

I think when screen recording software (like OBS) request screen recording access, it is an option to create a new virtual screen, in the system dialog when you need to select which window or screen to share. maybe this would help? it could be wasteful with resources, though

isn’t that against the USB-C standard?

Don’t know why exactly are you downvoted

It’s very weird. maybe I was a bit too harsh in the beginning, but I don’t think it was nearly this bad.

For example I bet the insurance companies love to have some driver behaviour data about you, and the big retail likes to know where/what time you are on the move (though they already get it from the dozens of apps on your phone that have access to location data, like Google Maps)

there are ways to clean it out of a phone, but cars are much more closed down, and if I had to guess they are probably even protected against you cleaning it out software-wise by safety regulations

I live neither in china or the usa, but I don’t want myself be recorded by either of their appliances that I use. and that naturally also extends to my neighbors and wherever I go.

its quite interesting how many people suddenly started to love mass surveillance

good luck charging my phone wirelessly! wireless charging is also very wasteful, and it does not support idle charging (powering the phone without wearing the battery), even if the phone otherwise does. doesn’t it also take up a significant amount of that precious space inside the phone?

so you need a dongle for the DAC, and an additional dongle for charging that is also, if I recall it correctly, violates the USB-C standard. did I understand it correctly?

how many cameras does it have? be pleased about all your, and your neighbourhoods everydays be uploaded to china, to train face recognition and whatever else

I hate teslas, but byd’s are not even slightly better in my eyes.

I don’t like the feeling that we may never see a consumer friendly EV anymore, but only ones that exploit their users in any ways they can

I’m sorry you have to deal with this shit

how do you charge the phone with a DAC plugged in?

how do they make it mandatory? what happens if you don’t have a smartphone?

is it strictly mandatory, or is the alternative intentionally very inconvenient?

I’m asking because it is very weird to me. but also, in my country also in the EU, there’s this misunderstanding that it is mandatory, while actually it can be replaced with any 2FA code generator app. and then it has a bunch of administrative features in one place for convenience

what is the crypto in cryptofascist?

that’s a lot of fuel. and smoke too.

and I assume they need to replace all that fuel once in a while even if unused, because it goes bad in a few years

do they have 2 GW of backup generators, though?

who said slow web apps. EU hosting providers could step in probably, but where is exactly all the data stored currently? even assuming that most orgs do proper, working backups, restoring them and setting up their systems for the new providers would still tame a lot of time
