Super fast charging is so underrated. in c/android@lemdro.id
[–] FermatsLastAccount@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I don't think fast charging is underrated generally

Maybe it was just me underrating it.

that fast charging will reduce your battery life more than slow charging,

That's true, though I think Oneplus does a good job of keeping the battery from heating up. That and the fact that I basically never charge up to 100% any more has resulted in my battery health dropping to 98% after 6 months of use.

I got my first Oneplus phone earlier this year and the fast charging is such a nice convenience. I thought it'd just be a gimmick I wouldn't care about, but its something I take advantage of basically everyday.

In the past I've used Pixels and Galaxys and they tend to claim they have fast charging, but in reality its pretty slow. My old Fold 3 took ~1.5 hours to fully charge.

For comparison, the Oneplus 11 I replaced it with fully charges in under half an hour, usually closer to 25 minutes (though I very rarely actually charge up to 100%).

I bought a second charger to keep in my backpack and it basically completely removes any battery anxiety that I used to have. The other day I was out after work and my phone was down to 5%. I saw that I was near a used bookstore, so I went in and charged my phone for 5 minutes while I looked around and I was back up to 35%, enough for several hours of screen on time.

Why Are Arch Linux Users So TOXIC? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] FermatsLastAccount@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I'd disagree about that being the worst case scenario.

When I used to use Arch and asked a question on the Arch forum, they removed my post because they saw I was using Pamac so they assumed I was actually on Manjaro. They didn't ask me if I'm using Manjaro or anything, they just assumed I was and removed it.

I reposted the question and clarified that I was using Arch, but that got removed again due to it being a duplicate of a removed question.

I made a meta post about what I should be doing in order to not get my posts removed and that got removed as well, though I don't remember the reason they gave for that.

That was the last time I posted on the Arch forum and shortly after, I switched to Void Linux.

In my experience, Immich is way better for Photos.

If you have spare computing power, consider donating some of that to a distributed computing project in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

I use a VPS. They don't charge based on CPU utilization so I run Folding@Home on it.

What are your most used selfhosted services? (kbin.social)
 

I'd probably have to go with Audiobookshelf and Kavita. Behind those would be Invidous and Immich.

Spectre: A password manager that doesn’t store passwords in c/technology@beehaw.org
[–] FermatsLastAccount@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Seems interesting, but yeah I don't see how it'd be possible to import existing passwords.

If I remember correctly, LastPass used to have a function where they'd go through your insecure passwords and automatically change them. Maybe Spectre could do something like that.
