Yeah, is a Pico… $5

This is already happening with smart phones.

So you’d need 10,000 of them to generate 1 watt.

Sounds useless.

What PC game broke your OS? That’s mad.

Sure, give it a go. The bands and the learning you get access to as a ham are a valuable tool.

But don’t be that kind that gets a licence just for ‘prepping’.

Having the gear without being proficient in it’s use or having someone to talk to is pretty useless.

So what is the standard fast charging solution they’ve choosen?

The site doesn’t say.

Are we going to see USB-PD in more phones now?

I’d love to see all the different manufacturers standards bugger off.

I know waterproof Type C ports exist as electrical components. So the test is up to the manufacturer to correctly implement it.

Ultimately, Type C is no worse an option to other ports.

Don’t worry about getting anything wrong. Most people are pretty excited to speak with someone new or that doesn’t come on air often.

We’re all just normal people, done of use are even a little introverted.

Just say what’s on your mind.

“Hi, I’m Joe, happy to be speaking with you, in kinda new to this and am a bit nervous. Anyhow how are you and where are you from?”

Chances are that will spawn a conversation that feels less forced and more natural as you move forward.

I’ve messaged you my email address. Never private messaged on Lemmy before so I hope it works. Just say hello and we can maybe catch up on echolink or discord.

Anything we can do to help with that? I’m a little mic shy myself, but it goes away as soon as a good topic starts being talked about.

You got access to Dstar/DMR or some other way of communicating internationally? I’m in VK3

I agree with all but hand crank drills. If you own a battery drill it’s probably stored with it’s battery and with keyless chucks (that don’t work on a hand crank drill) getting a battery drill ready for work is faster than a hand crank, and it will do the job faster too.

Hard disagree. Android user here. The number of times if had to show iPhone users how to use their shit is annoying.

Workflows agree no better on a fruit phone than an Android device half the price.

That’s how we differ.

You’re focusing on being radical and using emotional buzz words (death of children), where as I’m actually interested in changing the status quo with regard to cars, and have been effective in doing so at a local level without making an ass of myself.

I share what I’ve achieved when practical and many good discussions come of it.

What have you done today?

Yell at the internet about ‘trucks’ that very few actually use and get a few pats in the back for it?

The difference is, fuck cars is an ineffective and damaging community when it comes to influencing positive change, and you think you’re part of the solution when in fact your part of the problem.

People are never going to take a community like that seriously while so critical and full of negativity.

Lol… No one is going to join your little war when the see the brainless mindless posts that you lot like to circle jerk over.

I’d love to see a massive reduction in the dependence on cars, but you lot are doing more harm than good picking on non issues and making shit up.

I have already made that comparison, and still have found it double the price of other cases that you describe.

Cases from recycled materials should be cheaper, as they are don’t having to purchase virgin material, not more expensive.

Anyone charging a premium for recycled material products is usually targeting and taking advantage of ‘green’ customers.

The ability to recycle most plastics in 2023 is pretty standard unless they’re overly cleaning or bleaching the material, in which case it is no longer environmentally friendly.

I like the Fairphone 5 but €40 for a case is unforgivable.

I’m feeling like it’s a gouge because they know not many (if any) 3rd party cases exist.

Hence why they have transmissions that ensure they’re in a favourable RPM range at all times.

Worst with trains

That’s true, but also dumb at the same time.

The benefit of reduced drag applies regardless of mode of propulsion.

So really, it’s complexity for complexity sake.

Oh shit… I thought the $/hr was a good idea until you mentioned Factorio.
