Welcome to The Shitpost Office

Shitposts processed from 9 to 5, with occasional overtime on weekends.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not SinisterTreat others like fellow employees, not enemies in the breakroom.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Respect people’s time and space. We’re here to laugh, not to loathe

Rule 2: No Prohibited PostageSome packages are simply undeliverable. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content
  • NSFW content must be properly tagged

If you see anything that violates these rules, please report it so we can return it to sender. Otherwise? Have fun, be silly, and enjoy the chaos. The office runs best when everyone’s laughing.... or retching over the stench, at least.

Mine did something similar where i often get false wet charger alarms and more often than not it doesnt charge or give me an alarm at all now. Luckily wireless charging seems to work consistently for now but i guess i should consider finding a new phone soon.

pro tip: use wireless charging as much as possible, even when USB is still working

not only does it make your USB port last longer, due to the lower amperage when charging wirelessly, it also helps battery longevity!

Oh yes. Wireless charging next to the bed and wireless charging quadlock in a vehicle. But mainly because my toddler likes grabbing wires.

While I've done the same with wireless charging everywhere.

Get magnetic USB cables they break off in case of a snatch.

It will save you a huge headache one day.

Then later on they use the cables to charge whatever old device you gave them. Make them responsible for charging their own devices - which would be very dangerous with a real USB connector.

Didn’t even realise that was a thing. Will look into that, cheers.

From everything I've read, wireless charging and the heat it causes harms battery longevity, not helps it.

Also it is important to know that wireless charging is much less efficient and therefore is environmentally worse than using a corded charger.
