For a moment there I thought you were talking about PC.

There’s no joke. People seem to enjoy feeling either superior or outraged or both and the name of the game is user engagement. That’s how you end up with this type of thing.

I was similarly disappointed. This kind of humor isn’t funny at all. It’s just a made up scenario to trigger people. I can’t prove that it’s b8 but, if it’s not, it’s damn close.

I’ve also had to replace phones for broken USB ports which in the grand scale is probably more wasteful than the extra power use.

On one hand, yes, your port can break at some point. On the other, why would you throw away the whole phone if the usb port can be replaced? Going even further, you could always use your usb port for charging until it breaks and after that you could start using wireless charging. For data transfer there are plenty of apps and ways to wirelessly transfer data so that wouldn’t be a problem either. At the end of the day, you’re barely using your usb port and you’re also wasting twice as much (or more) energy that you would if you used a wired charger.

Wired turbo chargers are bad as well. However, although I don’t know about iOS, Android lets you plan your charge cycle. That makes my phone take about 8 hours to charge while I’m asleep.

Or you could just not use a fast charger and not worry about that. Either way, you’re moving the goalpost. Not all phones support fast charging and not everyone has a fast charger. I’d wager most people charge their phones with lower power (15/20w more or less).

I’d be interested to see how you measure that. It’s also not really a matter of opinion. Even though you may not notice a wild difference, your battery did degrade more than it would’ve, if you’d used a wired charger.

Also, the inefficiency is bad enough for me to rule it out. You literally waste at least twice as much power compared to a wired charger (source). Although we’re not talking about a crazy amount of power, it’s pretty selfish to waste it just because you don’t want to plug in a charger.

You do realize that wireless charging is also very inefficent and reduces your battery lifespan, right? It’s also kinda weird that your port goes bad after such a short time. Maybe you should clean it more often and make sure not to put any tension on it when you use it. I even have a 10 year old phone and the port (micro usb) still works perfectly fine.

It’s extremely easy to use and set up. You can also use it for free for up to 5 users I think and it has a lot more configuration options than Tailscale. In my case I didn’t have to change anything at all though, it was basically plug n play.

Not sure about what you mean by “business oriented”. It seemed pretty simple to me.

I prefer ZeroTier but both work.

Maybe, just maybe, the context in which you use regex isn’t the same as everyone elses. But hey, who am I to deny you the disservice of thinking you’re the center of the world?

Maybe for your very specific use case that’s true. However, other use cases exist and for many of those RegEx is the better option.

You’re discussing a completely different use case from what I said. RegEx can be increidbly useful but it’s not always the only/best option.

Not even close. Sometimes you can have a large text file where you need to do a find replace with a pattern. For example, in the translation world this can be a common occurrence for translation files (.xliff) or translation memories (.tmx).

There’s a reason why this is widely used and it’s not because everyone else but you is dumb.

Hard disagree. The function regex serves in programs like Notepad++ can’t be easily replaced by “writing it out in code”. With a very small number of characters you can get complex search patterns and capturing groups. It’s hard to read but incredibly useful.

Well then maybe you should read the comment you replied to again? They did not talk about how much data the cable would need. They even hypothesized that the cable format might even change. The meme talks about defining hd and they commented that 8k would be enough. Human eyes will not magically get more resolving so yeah, your analogy is still bad.

I do disagree on the Hz though. It would indeed be nice if we got 8k@360hz at some point in the future but that’s not resolution so I’ll let it slide.

You think that’s a clever analogy but it’s not even close.

Why would you lose that? It has the ability to carry sound but it doesn’t need to.

It’s more like a remake rather than a “new take”.
