fair, I just think it’s misleading to call python procedural, but it lines up with what the commenter above was describing and searching for the term for

procedural programming is more akin to that, but python has far to many oop concepts to be considered procedural imo

recently dealt with an issue at my parents house where whenever they connected the TV to the wifi, half the devices in the house would lose connection. turns out there was an instability in the Comcast router firmware and whenever the TV would connect it would crash everything else on the 2.4ghz frequency.

solution was to replace the router with one they owned instead of whatever crap they were leasing from Comcast.

and also because they continuously pick terrible candidates that don’t reflect most of the populations views. and then they go and nuke whichever actually progressive campaign they don’t like (sanders, hogg, etc).

to be completely honest, I think social media has less to do with it than most people are ready to admit.

right!! I came across this article at some point a year or two back, and it’s kinda lived rent free in my head since then lmao

it’s also just a reaction to sexually transmitted epidemics, interestingly enough.

other factors like usage time, intensity of use, and charging habits also have effects on the lifespan, so it’s hard to compare one person’s experience to a single other persons and draw a conclusion that’s anything other than anecdotal without some very specific controls.

what i do know for certain is that the heat generation from wireless charging has been long studied, and so has the effect of those heats on li ion batteries.

yes! heat is kinda the worst thing you can do to a battery. I’m not a chemist, but I believe the chemical reaction that charges/discharges a lithium ion begins to breaks down when performed in a heated environment, and I can confirm that consistent exposure to heat is how you get the really puffy spicy pillow batteries.

yep! it’s just less efficient than wired charging and whatever is lost in the process is turned into heat, which is particularly poor for your battery. batteries are consumables anyways and it seems like most people get it replaced at least once in a phones lifespan, so it doesn’t really matter if you’re ok with that. from my experience fixing phones over the years I can definitely confirm that using wireless charging consistently, particularly if you’re doing anything intensive at the same time, will lower the lifespan of your battery significantly.

what type of phone? I can gladly give detailed instructions on how to replace it if you want!

I think you could do this repair at home with no prior experience on a lot of androids. for an iphone you have to remove the motherboard though which is pretty obnoxious

increases strain on your battery tho

whatever works best! it’s just kinda hard to find something plastic that skinny and sharp, and I use tweezers as it’s the most efficient (but also the most prone to damage if you make mistakes I guess).

starting with the brush/isopropyl is not a bad idea for cleaning the contacts (and should be the first thing tried if a device isn’t charging) but it usually doesn’t actually get stuff out of the port. if a port is only charging at a specific angle, it’s cause there’s debris stuck in there. in my experience it’s usually very hard to get with a brush as it’s been compacted and cemented over however long you’ve had the device.

it is frankly impressive how much debris a port can hold!

sharp pair of tweezers or a needle or a toothpicks should be able to help. tons of instructions on how to do it in this thread, but I will add my 2 cents as a phone tech and say that if it’s a lightening port, you want to keep your tool as vertically in the middle of the port as possible while scraping horizontally. for USBC, keep your tool as close to the walls as possible while avoiding the center “tab”. this is so you don’t scrape the contacts. if you do that, you will need a port replacement (usually 80-100$ on most devices). once you scrape as much as you can out. you can use an old toothbrush or whatever works to brush the port clean with some isopropyl to clean any dirt on the contacts, which will come off easily now that it’s not being supported but the other debris you cleaned out with the tool.

maybe their business model. trust me. they’ll find a way to monetize the zero click internet too. then it’s back to square one

oo I bet that rifle was beautiful. I’d love to have an older hunting rifle, there’s something about how they age that makes them gorgeous to me.

I had a savage .270, it was a smaller model they made especially for youth. loved that thing.

losing it at the fact that most evangelical Christian assholes are shocked when the Catholic Pope has different views

lol. you sound like someone who has never tried to file for any of that shit. from another one of your comments, sounds like you had some corporate experience in firing people.

your experience in the corporate world firing people is not what people on the other side of the axe experience.

people should absolutely file for unemployment and pursue wrongful termination suits if possible. but your expectation that things will fall into their lap is unrealistic and will cost people money if they lose an appeal and are required to pay their benefits back.

I’m in PA, so yeah unfortunately this is how it goes. hats off to y’all in states with slightly better laws, but this is how it goes in my state. I speak from personal experience as well as the experience of my friends.

and all that documentation can be easily fabricated or cherry picked to try to make a point that isn’t there.

it doesn’t matter how the system is supposed to work, the laws in this country and PA especially are so fucked that it very rarely works out in the employees favor. you can potentially get unemployment, but wrongful termination suits very rarely go anywhere.
