Long comments*.

Happy 🍰 day.

I gotta say, it’s really gracious of the mod to only ban you for 3 months. Usually it’s a perma-ban.

I once saw a comment on Hexbear about it being racist to call Xi Winnie the Pooh. I got confused and asked why would that be racist. I got laughed at for not seeing that he’s clearly called that because Pooh is yellow, which is also a derogatory term for asians. And this never even crossed my mind until then, I always assumed he’s called that cause he literally looks like Pooh and wears red (figuratively). Are they reaching or am I wrong?

What is usually the case?
I’m saying that the mod is being too ridiculous to actually be serious, they must be trolling.

Also, the school system was supposed to teach me critical thinking?! I thought that’s what video games were for…

I’m having a very hard time believing this isn’t ironic.

Plot twist: The mod is from US and just proving their point.

And yet, lots of people choose not to do what they hate for money. Obviously, if you can get paid well for doing what you love is a win-win, but the point of my argument is that a lot of people don’t really care about money, beyond having enough to get by.

Have you never heard of scientists or artists? Lots of people prioritize passion over money.

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.
