Some don’t. But most people are not gatherers

You’re wrong

xD no? Why would everyone claim one? I for example would be fucking glad not to receive e-junk with all my purchases

Simple solution: if a device you sell comes without charging cable, it has to be written in large letters on the box that you have the right to claim one for free (like cigarette health warning) and the seller has to inform the customer before checkout

Why is that?

I don’t care if they keep the extra couple cents they saved on not giving the cable. I fucking hate getting extra e-junk with my electronics. I hate getting new cables just like I fucking hated getting shitty headsets with pre-smart phones. Nobody used them regardless. For all I care all battery-powered electronics, including laptops, could very well come without chargers and standardised cables, just with large warning on the box (like the one on cigarette packs). That was the fucking point of this EU regulation, to reduce e-junk

No? I use the same usb cable and QC3 charger I got with my 2016 Xiaomi

I’m all for it IF the cable is provided for free on demand to 0,001% of customers who happen to not have one. I have a separate drawer for all my extra usb C and micro usb cables which come with random electronics which I feel bad just throwing in the trash but I know I’ll never need.

What’s the difference between smart tube and smatttubenext?

we promise we’ll use the inferior, proprietary connector

Fuck, let’s hope they at least allow screws. Click-in latches are prone to breaking and wearing out

the stupidest thing is iPad had USB-C since 2018! and yet on iPhones they latched on to lightning for another 6 years before EU forced them to standardize

0.5% gets you seats in German system?

If I were to only use legal sources of media, then I would stick with either Apple TV or HBO Max (yeah it’s still called that where I live). Otherwise I recommend Cloudstream for Android TV

Hmm, why need dark mode in VLC? You launch a video file and watch it full screen anyway. Also, VLC has themes and last I checked there were couple of them which were sufficiently dark

When you think about it, it does make sense from the business point of view. Banks don’t make money on individual customers, so the ones that use physical locations. They make money off corporate customers, who are terribly unlikely to ever need to talk to a clerk in person. And with individual customers moving to online banking, it’s even less justifiable to run a physical location.

noone ever does – Microsoft, Google and Facebook must be faking their reports on how effective their advertisement platforms are in order to boost their sales. the sales of ads, not the advertised products

:o oil industry would never!

Better than DDG or Bing, but worse than Google
