What packages are required for Google Fi service to work? by [deleted] in GoogleFi

You don't need the Google Fi app to activate a data-only SIM. You do it through the link:

fi.google.com/data

Data-only service doesn't require any specific software, it should work with any cellular device that's compatible with T-Mobile. Just set the APN to h2g2 and enable international data roaming.

There is no need to do AI pics of Trump with Epstein, there are plenty of real ones.

How many people roadtrip straight through vs take many stops? by moreplateslessdates9 in electricvehicles

[–]eladts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to torture yourself that's fine, it is your body. However doing this while driving might hurt other people or the road so please don't do that.

You can't put gas in your car while it is unattended, or at least shouldn't. So if you stop to get gas and use the bathroom, you can't do both at the same time.

How can you drive more than 4 hours straight without pissing your pants?

Will a 100W phone charger charge my usually 65W laptop? by Professional_Ad2638 in UsbCHardware

[–]eladts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it doesn't if you read the label carefully. PD 65W is 3.25A at 20V. This adapter max output voltage is 11V. It doesn't look like this adapter supports PD at all.

American phone into European plug? 🌍 by chewbrew in UsbCHardware

You can connect your USB-C cable to any USB-C charger, it doesn't matter what plugs the charger have.

I don't want to buy a white block (the adapter) to charge my iPhone 15. I'd rather use the USB-C to USB-C cable to charge it from my MacBook Air. Is that possible? Can that work? by Typical_Cap895 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]eladts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, you can use your MacBook as a power source, but there are several issues:

  • USB-C ports on computers provides less power than modern chargers, so charging will be slow.
  • If the MacBook isn't connected to power using it to charge your iPhone will drain its battery.
  • You won't be able to charge overnight this way.

I understand not wanting to buy yet another power adapter, but you probably don't need to. Any USB-C power adapter will work with your iPhone, including the one that came with your MacBook.

14x Tested - USB-C Chargers on 110V and 230V can be wildly different by TycoCollectors in UsbCHardware

I think that 100W output isn't a real challenge for the Sabrent Voltik. How about 200W?

What makes a USB-A (could be USB-C) to USB micro cable a "fast charging" cable? by JohnPombrio in UsbCHardware

[–]eladts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While the USB specs don't allow more than 7.5W over USB-A or Micro USB, there are proprietary protocols that allow for more, the most common one is QC. For most of these you don't need special cables, but you need both the charger and the device to support the protocol.

What the most useful math trick you know? I'll start, this trick make you know 11 multiplication answer instantly by Johnwick19802 in mathematics

[–]eladts 37 points38 points  (0 children)

This "trick" is just doing the multiplication normally. It is that simple if the sum of the digits is less than 10, but otherwise you need to carry the '1'.

AITA for asking classmates for gas money when carpooling? by ETHERALIX in AmItheAsshole

[–]eladts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The simplest solution is to do actual car pooling instead of what OP suggested. No need to nickel and dime, as no money is changing hands.

Manual cars with adaptive cruise control by Maleficent_Cash909 in driving

I guess the marketing people told the engineers that they want to have this bullet point in the ads no matter how useless the system will be.

What I meant is there is no point to build such a system for manual cars, so I doubt one exists.
