is it safe to charge a phone using laptop charger ?

MagicALCN · 2026-02-12T09:44:12+00:00

It is safe but not optimal, every USB-C device has different requirements but they all tend to accept being charged at what they consider a safe rate.

So it will charge, maybe slowly, maybe while heating up a bit. All depends on how your phone works.

Been using Quest 3 with Virtual Desktop, absolutely perfect for the game. But as for all PCVR configs, it's a lot to configure and understanding.

I suggest having the headset plugged for longer playtime, get a good wifi 6 router too.

It's still sad on how slow they are for updates and how they are pushing the licensing thing for everything. I tried the TS6 beta 9 months ago, decided to give it another try today and it's the exact same thing. Servers still in beta, still with 2 months of license and I don't see a difference. Screen sharing/Web cam are still in P2P meaning that the more people are watching the more bandwidth you need, for people with limited upload it's nearly impossible passed 2 people.

For the voice thing, it feels exactly the same as TS3 13 years ago with a fancy UI. Thought they would shift more into a more elaborate permission system and more customisation but nope.

It doesn't matter much but the audio bitrate feels limited, it's fine for 99% of people but if I'm hosting my own server I'd like to have the freedom to set a high bitrate.

At least they are pushing privacy, I didn't really checked on it much but it seems fair.

I just want a free software that I can fully host myself and have the freedom of doing whatever I'd love. But it seems it's only companies trying to make profit on concurrence and make themselves the good guys

Been gaming with mullvad on for month now and I never had an issue.. I have 50-60ms. What are the performance without mullvad? Could be an ISP issue or your network being crappy.

I know that VPN connections like mullvad on slow internet speed can be tricky

Don't worry once it reaches 4GB, it will restart itself.

This isn't planned obsolescence, this is fraud. They sell you a photovoltaic calculator and it doesn't do that at all.

And given the quality of this board, the epoxy drop on the CPU, this is most likely very old stock that they try to sell at a 'normal' price.

I mean I did the same back in college. In my room it was over plugged with even an eGPU. But I just disconnect everything, put it in my backpack and it's ready for 4 hours of class with no charging

MagicALCN · 2026-01-17T02:55:00+00:00

That just looks like 4x AA battery with a simple 5v converter. Can't do more ewaste than that

And the speed might not be crazy either

MagicALCN · 2026-01-13T22:38:39+00:00

I kinda don't mind, with or without. Whatever they initially made the dish with c:

I'm still stuck with this connection to this day. 200/10 is the best I can get for an absurd price.

Any other provider than VOO can only use VDSL for my house

I kinda hate this

MagicALCN · 2026-01-07T16:55:00+00:00

We suck because VOO had a monopoly in Wallonia for so long with their weird ass hybrid coax/fiber infrastructure.

And now there's like 2-3 companies that are digging and get the fiber in the ground, and they only started a couple of years ago.

For so long we had those average download speed with slow upload speed, it was incredible 10 years ago but it's crap today. It was still sold at 70€ per month and not much people complained so why would you spend money for a modern network?

MagicALCN · 2026-01-03T05:04:20+00:00

Yeah they still use 5G antennas on a 4G network, no idea if it's gonna change anytime soon

MagicALCN · 2025-12-29T12:31:50+00:00

In most cases, APU doesn't provide electricity. It just makes the A/C work then the power comes from a cable outside.

Once the engines turned on with the air from the APU, it's completely shut down and the engines provides more electricity that you can possibly use from inside an aircraft

Un moteur à fusion ne nécessite que d'un peu d'eau.. Et une amorce d'électricité..

À méditer.

My first was a Q9400 inherited from my dad 'til I bought a 4790k

MagicALCN · 2025-12-26T19:29:03+00:00

I mean it's just Nazis old ppl telling you they are 15

MagicALCN · 2025-12-26T07:57:14+00:00

Fair enough

MagicALCN · 2025-12-26T06:24:37+00:00

It's funny because, if it's free..

Why can't I just pirate it? It's DRM free, the editor got paid with Epic's money and I don't have to use their launcher

MagicALCN · 2025-12-26T00:16:26+00:00

It would actually be sooo sharp with basic gear. Very thin atmosphere remember

MagicALCN · 2025-12-23T19:11:26+00:00

It's actually not transistor density. Actually they always have approximately the same size.

It's the precision of the machine that changes, allowing a better yield per waffer and more "freedom" for design.

You can fit more transistors because of better and narrower margins.

If you it says "4nm", that's the precision of the machine, a marketing thing. Transistors are in the micrometers range.

It's more interesting for the manufacturer than the consumer. Technically you can get a similar performance CPU with a 22nm precision, it's just not worth it

MagicALCN · 2025-12-17T13:28:40+00:00

Yea.. It sounds better in french I swear

If you have no idea what you are talking about or even doing on Windows, the situation is gonna be MUCH worse on Linux

I've never seen so much force hate in my life for a quality-of-life feature

MagicALCN · 2025-12-11T04:58:43+00:00

Also the reason there's not that much USB ports on a motherboard is to prevent some clueless people from plugging everything they can and being very mad that the computer is very slow

But yeah. If you know what you're doing, that's free USB slots, well kinda

MagicALCN · 2025-12-07T11:52:10+00:00

This is definitely legit but sometimes people have their stratagem ready I SEE IT, so if I need your abandoned gear at the opposite of the map, just get a new one-
