Watching a podcast on my laptop cause TV shows are shit. Jumping from app to app on my tablet cause I can’t focus on anything properly.
Can’t even play on my laptop cause I forgot to set up Steam and don’t remember all of my passwords (don’t take my little black book with me).
To top it all off it seems that my mom got rid of all the big dinner plates (makes sense cause the portions she eats are tiny but she just eats a few of them) which means I’d have to cut my leftover pizza into tiny pieces and heat them up one after another in the microwave. Gonna save that for when I’m home and just get something that’s ready to eat when I go to the post office (there’s a grocery store a few feet away).
Still have ~ 4h to wait until I can go home.
Update: I’m home again. I should’ve remembered that I usually watch podcasts and stuff like that when I’m at my mom’s. And I need to set up my laptop better before I go there again tomorrow. I only set it up to the point where I installed most of the software I want to use but never set those up the way I need them. I stopped doing that when I was able to doubleclick on a playlist and let that run for the night while I sleep.
Transferring all those movies and shows was completely unnecessary.
its a legitimate complaint when you’ve got gigabytes of files to transfer, worse thing about this is I checked on an Apple forum and everyone was like oh that doesn’t matter its only 2.0, I’ll finish eventually just takes a little longer. Like sure 5 hours at 30mb/s XD
I was under the impression that most people don’t care about cable connections with iPhones. Especially since the general trend with mobile gadgets (phones, tablets but also laptops and even more so Macbooks) is to go wireless - be it for headphones, data access (cloud and streaming) or even charging (that one’s exclusive to phones though).
The phone reviewers I watch only mention if the USB connection is micro-USB (and they criticize it everytime) or Type C, but none of them mention if it’s 2.0, 3.0 or 3.1.
Also, do you think the majority of iPhone users even knows about that stuff? Not to diss them (okay, I do) cause tbh I have no idea if my Razer Phone 2 and Tab A are 2.0 or 3.0. Plus, file transfer with Android is utter bloody shite. If I want to transfer a lot of files I just take out the microSD (one of the reasons why I don’t like phones/tablets without a microSD slot) and use a microSD to USB adapter.
I kinda would dig if I could transfer files from my PC to my tablet/phone wireless with the same speeds as I get wire the USB cable. BT is meh. But a wireless charging dock (with a switch to turn charging on/off) and a NFC chip that activates a BT connection with a PC would be great (and then disable the connection after x minutes when I remove the phone from the dock).
Different topic: seems like my laptop’s battery is on its way out. Just watched some YT for maybe 1h, meh wifi connection and ~75-80% brightness and I was down to 59% (from 97%) with and estimated 1h39m left.
Fedora says the total capacity is down to 84% but the rate at which it discharges is terrible and it was down to 0% when I plugged it in.
Well, it doesn’t bother me too much cause I only ever use my laptop with the charger (battery removed, that’s a nice feature).
But still, after just a few years and almost no use (left in a drawer with ~50% charge left) being down to 84% and a terrible discharge rate is bad.
Are most laptop batteries a standard shape or is there a gazillion different shapes for every fucking laptop in existence? Does that mean all the laptops with glued-in “non-user servicable” batteries will become useless for most people after a few years?
What do you guys do when your laptop’s battery doesn’t do the job anymore? Knock-off? Hunt for cheap used ones? Bite the bullet and buy a new original (if it’s still available)?
