Noted. I will not.

Are smoke grenades multi-use?

Why is everybody posting my cat today?!

For comparison:

The only reason I know that this is not my cat is because mine has a birthmark on the tip of the nose. And whiter belly.

It still might be, don’t give up hope!

Dang, that labtop is so old it has a dialup modem built-in.

15,000 years in the past is absolutely not enough to go back to monke. Even just the modern homo sapiens existed for the past 150,000 years. But I suspect to expect those bros to know that is irrational.

I see. Looks to me that they just rebrand cheap Chinese phones and sell them in Russian-speaking countries. I doubt they offer anything extra compared to the phones they rebrand, except maybe Russian translation for the UI.

Could you link, please?

IIRC, all new small electronics sold in EU should support USB-C, but there are some exceptions, which I don’t remember. Mostly it was for wirelessly charging devices, like smartwatches and earbuds.

Btw, does your username have anything to do with the capital of Azerbaijan?

That is correct.

Even for a 2020 release, it must be an outlier. Actually never heard of BQ Mobile until now. Apparently, they released their last phone in 2020, and in 2021 completely ceased operations. They were probably trying to use up all the remaining micro USB port modules to cut costs or something.

What phone is that? Genuinely curious. Was it actually manufactured in 2022 with micro USB?

MagSafe/Qi2 is definitely convenient, but you have to be wary of its downsides. 2 of which are:

• wireless induction wastes a good amount of energy being transferred
• wireless induction additionally heats up the battery and reduces its lifespan

But the good news is, it’s basically the defacto standard. Since Apple opened up this standard it pretty much killed all the competition. The adoption is expected to increase in the coming years.

At the risk of sounding like Blizzard, don’t you have a phone? Even my previous phone, Galaxy S8 had USB-C. Or do you have an old iPhone?

Pretty much all electronics that came out in the past 4 years use USB-C. Just an example, here’s a non-exhaustive list of things that I charge with C:

• MacBook (2020)
• iPad (2018)
• Galaxy S10e (2019)
• Steam Deck (2022)
• Nintendo Switch (2017)
• Kindle (2020)

All of these are, on average, at least 4 years old. So I’m pretty sure the average consumer has already switched to primarily USB-C

I think you guys are taking about micro USB. PS4 controllers have micro, PS3 controllers had mini USB.

8 years, actually.

I mean, Apple has been selling USB-C cables ever since they transitioned MacBooks to use Thunderbolt ports in 2016. And yes, they are expensive. But the whole point of standardized cables is that Apple may sell them for $100 if they want to, there will be others who will sell it for a reasonable price and Apple can’t hold you hostage with their proprietary connector.
