Behold:
Bad for the charging port. You know, that hole with 24 extremely tiny wires and pins? Once that’s damaged, you have a brick, not a phone.
This is why I believe in UK plug supremacy. Extreme support, extreme safety. Be extreme today. Convert to the UK plug
They’re talking about the USB port. Which might have been inferred from “24 pins”.
Or you open it up and replace the daughterboard holding the port. Worked fine when I did it for a friend.
Phones are pretty light as long as you set it in there gently and didn’t do it often it wouldn’t hurt anything.
At first, I wasn’t sure where I was supposed to be looking. Thank you red arrow.
I’m a huge fan of creating a meme about another person, and using a drawing like this. It allows the person to remain anonymous.
She looks happy, at least. Maybe it’s kinda meditative. You don’t want to move too much. Just sit, relax, and be a table.
Modern problems require modern solutions
It’s brilliant in its simplicity. I’d never think of that. I’d try to overengineer something out of the environment, but with less skill than MacGyver.
I would just pull out the longer cable from my backpack. Or use the power bank I have in my backpack. Or use the power bank as a pass-through to use both the cables. Or accept the fate and shutdown my primary phone partially* or completely.
*Partial shutdown means disabling certain services and features to save power without fully shutting down everything. This does usually not mean using a battery saver. I use MIUI, it is already fairly unpredictable and regular battery saver** only makes this situation worse.
**There’s also ultra battery saver which kills everything deemed unnecessary running in the background. That couldn’t be more predictable.
