Great explanation, but unfortunately the post in the image OC missed the absolute best part, the parody article.

Lol, unexpected intensity. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
No hate. Just annoyed. But you’d probably be annoyed too if I insisted on my uninformed opinions about selling herbalife.
Not when it’s explicitly defined.
And did you just call a 70% efficient device (staggeringly low by engineering practices in even the 60s) a negligible amount of power? Do you have even the remotest inkling of just how many billions of these chips are produced annually? Assuming only 0.1% will go in phones with wireless charging and that they will only be used for that year, we are talking about an enormous quantity of energy that is wasted. It would be enough energy to push the earth into the sun.
You’re being very dismissive about something you obviously have no real experience in, and there would be nothing wrong with not knowing something if you weren’t making claims simultaneously. Efficiency is a well known, inarguably defined, rigorously studied, timelessly practiced, design concept that the CEO has an obvious working knowledge of. There is no “alternative truth” that is being ignored here, only ones that should be.
Oh lol, I’m dumb. Thanks for explaining.
But it may not be the scientific term of efficiency
Otherwise known as, “efficiency”
Honestly, in the best of circumstances, it would be closer to only 20 W getting to the phone by today’s standards.
I haven’t seen a single device (other than a two way handset) that uses that sort of function. You would have to slot your phone into a giant plastic base and I just don’t know why anyone would want that. Anything but that and the charge pins would be exposed and thusly a fire hazard. Spring loaded pins are a dinosaur in today’s tech market and no one, let alone a company that is trying to reduce waste, would use such an outdated and niche system.
Maybe so, but you’ve lost energy to making that heat, now you’re spending more energy to remove it. Ergo, efficiency.
12 yo’s, probably.
It’s the closest to rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic they’ve ever been. But I’m sure they’ll outdo themselves tomorrow.
Yeah, I’ve started to feel a bit of that on windows. At least with MS deprecating things that people used, or constantly changing your settings with every update. I guess a terminal script is no different than a magic black box in the same way that a program or driver is. Hmm. Good point.
On-screen keyboard
Nice try Linus 😂
And on windows, you can do all of this without touching the keyboard…
For me, a few things keep me from sticking with it. The community used to be a problem but it’s not as bad as it used to be. Seeking help online regarding anything related to network services are still rife with the “git gooder” useless fucks. Two months ago I was told, “you shouldn’t be doing this if you need a guide.” I was trying to deploy a Lemmy instance… Using the guide provided by Lemmy devs… That they recommended for beginners… FML with a curling iron…
Another big one for me is access to solutions. I have never encountered a problem with windows that I couldn’t find a solution or at least an explanation for. But I frequently find issues with linux that I am apparently the first to ever experience.
And lastly, it seems like not using a terminal at all to do completely normal things is even remotely possible. Powershell allows all kinds of things that would be otherwise burdensome or impossible, but none of those are required for use. On the flip side, it feels like everything I want to do in Linux tends to require me to copypasta a terminal command, open the terminal, and run. Why? Why is there no “control panel” style settings tools? Why is every setting scattered to the .conf fucking wind? My kingdom for a distro that I don’t have to nano my fucking way through.
Software compatibility??? That is a problem I would love to have when it comes to trying to switch OSs. That would mean that everything else is already working and only MS products are acting up. Also… who switches to Linux but still requires MS Office??? Why does this person exist? Lol
Anyway. Haven’t tried the switch in a few years and it seems like things have changed a lot in that time comparatively to the preceding years, so I may be a bit out of touch. But that’s why I quit last time. I would love to not need windows ever again. But my worst windows day is still better than my best Linux day.
I believe it is how self-proclaimed christians are responding to sexual and gender liberty/tolerance. They see it as lost ground in their crusade against deviance. So they are escalating things beyond reason in order to sooth their own conscience.
That’s how I see it. Closeted bigots being closeted bigots.
Got to give it to the Somali Pirates… That’s some next level marketing:
“This appears to be an isolated incident at our MacArthur Metro store, involving the clearance price of a batch of our Calypso Mangoes.”
I didn’t think about that. Thanks for pointing it out.
Ah, really good points. Thanks for the perspective. My expertise (if I may so generously call it that) ends at the manufacture and assembly processes. Thanks for the perspective.
And the free of the brave 🫡
