Really seemed like this was inevitable - it will be interesting to see if their fair use defense pans out.

I don't expect it will, and I'm worried of the impact of that precedent on the legitimate fair use circuit...

Depending on your usage, wired (due to being slow charging, typically) can actually drain the battery faster than it charges.

But since you're using it tirelessly, you can use a fast charger via your 9v outlet (or other fast charging USB).

It sucks it uses so much power, but you're probably better off if you need to charge your phone anyway

Protip: Many cars use slow charging USB 2.0 for wired Android Auto - if you use this, you cab instead plug your phone into a fast charging outlet instead

Pretty sure it actually predates Apple's version too...

This is exactly why restaurants shouldn't use QR codes as menus, they're attack vectors - anyone can just come in and slap on their own QR sticker.

I just use the ping integration of Home Assistant, simple for me since I've already got HA running.

Hopefully HIPPA will be enough to actually force some punishment to the company.

Leaking half of the US populations' SSNs wasn't enough

Tbf, it's all about usage and charhing habits. My S22 lasts my work day, but at around ~30%, but I also only charge it to 85%.

If I didn't charge it on the drive home, it'd probably die during the day.

I'd imagine this article is more of statement against the S23 Ultra, than a humble brag. At this point, even if you are able to afford it, why upgrade yearly?

Phones aren't getting drastic upgrades with each physical release - most exciting upgrades are typically software based.

Amazing how enshitification has continued to march on.

They're also apparently adding markdown which is neat, but considering all the recent Google news of them trying to lock down the web, I'd rather they focus on adding an RCS API so other apps can exist...
