Put phone down on wireless charger. Charging notification lights up. Go to sleep. Wake up. Check phone. Is at 2%. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Fucking. Wireless. Chargers.

Pssst

got something for ya:

You know, I think it's something with the formatting here where it makes the slash disappear. Not sure what syntax I'd need to use to make the whole thing appear properly.

It's a markdown dialect, \ is the escape char, so you need to escape it :)
Same as r*ddit in that regard.

¯\(ツ)

Except double slashes makes the underscores disappear.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So... it looks like adding a slash before the slash and before each underscore does the trick. Thanks!

Markdown uses underscores for italic, which is why they also need to be escaped with backslashes.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Although I know this, I cannot remember where I need to escape. So I just have two custom autocorrections: shrug which yields the regular (and broken on Lemmy) ¯_(ツ)_/¯ for general use and shrugmd with the markdown variant for the use on e.g. Lemmy: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In the end it's:

    shrug: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 
    shrugmd: ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯

Only need the 3 slashes on the right arm, like so:

¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯

Technically correct, but back, when Reddit allowed 3rd party apps, I did get the occasional "Hey you lost something" comment, as some apps had a broken markdown rendered that wouldn't display it without.

Also it can have side effects if you use an underscore in the same paragraph or use it twice in a row, as it then suddenly can render as italic.

¯\_(ツ)/¯ Not sure how Lemmy reacts, though ¯\_(ツ)

You might want to look into Qi 2 chargers if you’re having alignment problems. Magnets snap the phone into the correct location.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (2 children)

And if your phone doesn’t have the alignment magnets, you can get a magnet ring to put on your case, OR, you can get the greatest phone grip I’ve ever used, which lets you charge through the grip (if your case is thin enough).

Compatible with all MagSafe and Qi2 alignment magnets. Fantastic phone grip. I love it very much.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

That's pretty cool, but I don't think it beats my phone grip. That one is awesome, it comes with mag rings to help align your phone if needed, has a ring you can put your finger through for extra grippiness, and the back of the ring is magnetic as well, so I can stick my phone to anything a magnet sticks to.

Only annoying parts are I have to take the ring off for wireless charging, and you might have your ring stick to whatever you stuck it on if you put it on backwards, but that one is a quick fix. I do like that yours doesn't have the first one though.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Yours is certainly cheaper, which is definitely a plus. I don’t have to remove anything for this to charge through, and it is stuck to the phone with adhesive, so it never pulls away from the phone vs whatever it is stuck onto. (It also sticks to anything ferromagnetic.)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That hinge is pretty dope, but I wonder how much that slows the induction charging. It adds a fair amount of distance between the charger and phone’s coils.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I haven’t noticed it being too slow, but if I’m being honest I mostly don’t pay attention to wireless charge speeds. Either it’s sitting on a MagSafe charging dock overnight or it’s attached to a Qi2 charger (with a shitty 3D printed stand I designed) on my desk, and speed isn’t the priority in either case. When I’m trying to charge quickly I use a wire.

I will say that Qi2 charger gets HOT, but the MagSafe one doesn’t, oddly enough. Both are made by Anker and both should be pumping 15 watts, so I’m not sure what the difference is besides the standard.
