Breaking a cable with style!

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 60 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Bad for the charging port. You know, that hole with 24 extremely tiny wires and pins? Once that's damaged, you have a brick, not a phone.

This is why I believe in UK plug supremacy. Extreme support, extreme safety. Be extreme today. Convert to the UK plug

[-] the_tab_key@lemmy.world 26 points 4 months ago

That's make the phone pretty bulky

[-] TheOctonaut@mander.xyz 19 points 4 months ago

They're talking about the USB port. Which might have been inferred from "24 pins".

[-] mipadaitu@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I think they were taking about the lightning port on the iPhone.

[-] Opisek@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

You may hide now before the europlug F squad I called gets here.

Schuko is way nicer and isn't a landmine when left on the floor.

[-] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Phones are pretty light as long as you set it in there gently and didn't do it often it wouldn't hurt anything.

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 1 points 4 months ago

You can't assert that. Not to a certainty.

[-] zeekaran@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 months ago

You don't have wireless charging as a backup?

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 4 points 4 months ago

A backup, sure. But I use Android Auto every day. Also, I wouldn't be able to charge it from my power bank or use headphones if the USB-C port was damaged.

[-] Faresh@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 months ago

I don't think I have seen many phones with that feature.

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 3 points 4 months ago

You... haven't seen many phones that can charge wirelessly? In 2024??

[-] desktop_user@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 months ago

the phones with that feature are way to expensive

[-] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 4 months ago

Or you open it up and replace the daughterboard holding the port. Worked fine when I did it for a friend.

[-] Crikeste@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

Is that actually how you spell, what I thought was, “dotter board”?

[-] zaphodb2002@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 months ago

Yeah, motherboard, daughterboard.

[-] Crikeste@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago

Oh so no sonboard or fatherboard?

What kinda of world do we live in?….. 😔

[-] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Considering you plug the daughterboard into the motherboard quite often, sonboard might be the more appropriate term, because of the male plug type. But maybe people didn't quite want to raise the spectre of motherfuckers.

[-] Crikeste@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago

Not to mention the implied incest lmao

[-] blandfordforever@lemm.ee 52 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

At first, I wasn't sure where I was supposed to be looking. Thank you red arrow.

[-] Dagnet@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago

I can't see any red arrows, can anyone help me with a red circle?

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 22 points 4 months ago
[-] lolrightythen@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

What is this brown arrow and why does it taste like copper?

[-] androogee@midwest.social 2 points 4 months ago

Absolutely the worst DC character

[-] lolrightythen@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I can see it from your pov. But my favorite band is ween. And brown is the highest of compliments.

[-] Crikeste@lemm.ee 15 points 4 months ago

Honestly why hasn’t anyone thought of this before? It’s SO SIMPLE

[-] JaddedFauceet@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago
[-] quinkin@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Only until molten.

[-] dankm@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago

With a high enough mains voltage absolutely.

[-] JaddedFauceet@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I thought the hook is made of metal... is it not?

[-] dankm@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago

The ones I've seen are extruded plastic shaped that way.

[-] RedditRefugee69@lemmy.world 16 points 4 months ago

If the cable is that long, why not just set it on the floor?

[-] clot27@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

the phone would topple until its done precisely
