Lol, there have been times when mine has needed one, too. Now, if the fan can be powered through the phone battery with USB OTG or something, that would be genius ๐Ÿ˜„

@halm
It can be! Just needs a USB a to USB c adapter... Not sure impact on battery as I generally only need it when I'm not suspended on a charger

It came through! Maybe the mastodon-to-lemmy federation is a bit slow sometimes.

Oh, cool ๐Ÿ˜† I couldn't tell from the photo where the cables went. It's both sad and hilarious what we have to do to keep our phones chilled.

I must not mastodon right... But I did reply there to no avail here... Anyway it does work with a USB a to USB c thru the phones USB c port. Not sure yet on battery implications
