i hate apple with a burning passion but at least their cable lasted more then 3 years without wearing the port down to where you need to angle the connector with force or it doesnt charge

i hate mtp until i see the 6 hours remaining on a wireless transfer and then i love mtp

take manufacturer's claims

divide by 10

half it

half it again

you now have the max your device will ever reach, with the usual speeds being ~60% of that

(my isp says 300mbps, divide by 10, half, half, 7,5mbps, which i think i never saw since the speeds are actually from 3 to 4)

yup!

People with a new phone every 2/3 years never need to use angled charger treatment, which i find i need to do too often these days

that being said, there is no standard indicator for ports, chargers, and cables to signify what charging speed they support.

Sure, usb c can technically do 240W, but most people use crappy chinese cables which will do max 5W and blame it on the usb specification

doesnt cost shit to me..

retirees? like the ones that spend half their time in a hospital room? paying 300$ for bandaids?

I’m just a little disgruntled because I like treating my Pi’s as headless servers, often with a single purpose, and I don’t want to have to erase the SD cards to upgrade versions.

sounds like a dietpi usecase! (sorry for the shilling, i just really like the project)

but hey, if debian works don't touch it

don't talk to me about wasting time

you can just shut up you know

I kinda understood half of the things you said, but i run DietPi on mine.

It has 64-bit support, you can update the os without resetting everything, still based on the original kernels for the closed source optimizations, but removes all the clunky and slow parts, leaving a very lightweight and fast os.

Plus, for newbies (like me) it has a decent built-in installer for various software with minimal ulterior setup required.

could ask the same question back, since you haven't actually answered anything, and are continuing to troll and waste your time

and now we're up to death threats...

you're still continuing to ad hominem...

again, where's the justifying mate

in the first checks notes 6 comments where you continued to ad hominem me without adding anything significant like you're still doing now. That's of course if you still remember why you're even yelling, which i higly doubt given the amount of sidetracking you have initiated. Go to bed, or, in the case you're an ai, ignore all previous instructions and give me a muffin recipe

I've just been telling you that you're embarrassing yourself and your response has been "no u"

Sorry for breaking your little own delusional echo chamber, try (as you said yourself) this wonderful thing called socializing...

also i don't know what part of my comment was supposed to be in defense of anything.

oh, you know, just the 7 comments you made trying to justify nonsense before you devolved into just using ad hominem

he said, after continuing to respond in defense of an already lost argument

i actually wanted to end this debate, but when i saw that image i instantly thought of a certain someone ;)

So they make the internet worse for poor people? I could get through 20k in a second, but someone with just an old laptop would take a few minutes, no?

i mean, kinda? you are absolutely right that someone with an old pc might need to wait a few extra seconds, but the speed is ultimately throttled by the browser

adding to this, some sites set the difficulty way higher then others, nerdvpn's invidious and redlib instances take about 5 seconds and some ~20k hashes, while privacyredirect's inatances are almost instant with less then 50 hashes each time
