This is just a marketing stunt.

Literally the first lines in the article mentions he ditched Spotify in favor of some bullshit "blockchain-powered competitor Tune.fm", whatever the fuck that means.

I checked mine, which is a fairly basic model, and it's actually 400V.

That website actually promotes Firefox, you know. Not sure it fits this thread.

Thank you for being one person in this thread that actually read and understood my comment.

A bunch of comments repeating "Signal is the most secure because I said so" was not helpful.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 2 months ago

Sure, buddy.

Maybe you should read the comments you're replying to first.
If you can't do that much then maybe you just shouldn't comment at all.

I'll simplify it for you:

  1. Did I suggest Signal is not secure? No.
  2. Did the OP make a claim Signal is somehow the most secure chat on the planet based on non existing sources pulled out of his ass? Yes.

Discussion quality on Lemmy starts looking like Reddit now.
Almost feels like home...

Yes.

It also gets some free publicity by claiming to be federated/decentralized without the user having to make any actual choices in regards to a server (because there isn't really any choice).

the alternative is around the same price

You know that's not true.

There are stupidly expensive Android flagships, but there are also a lot of phones for a fraction of the price.

I have no doubt it's because of the cost.

You can get these connectors for less than 1€.
If you order directly from China I'm sure they'll be even cheaper.

And no one should be buying slow cables that they're likely to trash anyway once they figure out their limitations...

This is just some marketing bullshit.
There is nothing I can see about these cables that's in any way more repairable than any other cheap USB cable.

They are also USB 2.0 without an e-marker chip, so their claims about "high speed" data transfer and "100W" charging speeds are dubious at best.
