Huh, nice to see my initial judgment was incorrect

Given qi2 uses magnets to properly align the coils in the phone and the charger, it should result in generating less heat and overall greater efficiency, so it very well may generate less or the same amount of heat [edit: despite the higher amount of energy transmitted ]... That is, if your phone supports it. But all things considered, it'll unlikely ever be as efficient, and, hence, warmer than a regular wired charger. I mean, you're pretty much going ac → dc in the power supply, then dc → ac in the inductive charger, then again ac → dc in the phone itself for no particular reason. That being said, pd also runs quite hot at times, so, IMO, smth like plain old 5v 1amp charger would be more preferable given the use-case

Free as in free beer, not as in freedom. You can technically block undesired (or all) outgoing connections via opensnitch/portmaster, tho.

I'm wondering if those criminals are by chance mentally challenged. A private and "secure" phone with a proprietary "secure" messenger hidden as a calculator app... Doesn't the word "anom" ring any bells for them?

Idk, vr porn is creepy af. Or at least it used to be 5 yrs ago or so... Imagine a girl so huge one her tit is bigger than your head, for example. So, yeah, I noped out pretty much instantly

Now that's not creepy at all

Sure, no problem... I'll just trigger reader mode in Firefox instead

They paint themselves as an arrogant and problematic client to deal with.

Huh, apparently they sometimes behave like that with customers as well: https://lemmy.ml/comment/14451901

Well, at least they used to be a while back: https://l.opnxng.com/r/SuggestALaptop/comments/ukgaf/general_consensus_on_malibal/

Just tried to find teardowns of more recent laptops of theirs to see if it's still the case, rather unsuccessfully. Although, I've found a few more reviews (in addition to those in the comments):

Soo, now I'm even more skeptical of their statement that their communications to those developers were nothing but polite

I'm wondering if syncthing in gplay can show some kind of warning that the app is discontinued pointing to use the fork version on f-droid, or, if that's prohibited by play's EUFOA (end-user fuckover agreement), discussion on the forums mentioning the existence of said fork... [addit: So, kinda like what termux folks did, but less covertly]

Ooo, pretty, thanks!

Is there a similar list of ~~good stuff~~ [sry, ofc I mean notorious criminals stealing what little money a licensor needs to buy a new yacht] but for music?
