Depending on your usage, wired (due to being slow charging, typically) can actually drain the battery faster than it charges.

But since you’re using it tirelessly, you can use a fast charger via your 9v outlet (or other fast charging USB).

It sucks it uses so much power, but you’re probably better off if you need to charge your phone anyway

Protip: Many cars use slow charging USB 2.0 for wired Android Auto - if you use this, you cab instead plug your phone into a fast charging outlet instead

Pretty sure it actually predates Apple’s version too…

This is exactly why restaurants shouldn’t use QR codes as menus, they’re attack vectors - anyone can just come in and slap on their own QR sticker.

Tbf, it’s all about usage and charhing habits. My S22 lasts my work day, but at around ~30%, but I also only charge it to 85%.

If I didn’t charge it on the drive home, it’d probably die during the day.

I’d imagine this article is more of statement against the S23 Ultra, than a humble brag. At this point, even if you are able to afford it, why upgrade yearly?

Phones aren’t getting drastic upgrades with each physical release - most exciting upgrades are typically software based.

Amazing how enshitification has continued to march on.

They’re also apparently adding markdown which is neat, but considering all the recent Google news of them trying to lock down the web, I’d rather they focus on adding an RCS API so other apps can exist…

I truly miss the way circles worked. It was very nice to not see political posts from people you were only interested to see Video Gaming posts from.

This seems more like a way to achieve what Samsung does with its messaging app

There’s a setting under Message’s RCS chat to auto resend as SMS if RCS can’t send.

To be fair, this setting is reliably not working and is a known issue.

Ah - that makes sense

They will also support Tile (though it will probably require new devices).

Tile is also confirmed to be working on support for Android’s Find My Device network, but there’s no sign of new hardware just yet.

Pretty sure Obsidian is open source.

Hopefully this means lower latency.
