I get where you're coming from. My Oneplus charger is extremely slow when used with my Steam deck.

Does any phone with USB PD charge at 80+ watts though?

I don't think fast charging is underrated generally

Maybe it was just me underrating it.

that fast charging will reduce your battery life more than slow charging,

That's true, though I think Oneplus does a good job of keeping the battery from heating up. That and the fact that I basically never charge up to 100% any more has resulted in my battery health dropping to 98% after 6 months of use.

 

I got my first Oneplus phone earlier this year and the fast charging is such a nice convenience. I thought it'd just be a gimmick I wouldn't care about, but its something I take advantage of basically everyday.

In the past I've used Pixels and Galaxys and they tend to claim they have fast charging, but in reality its pretty slow. My old Fold 3 took ~1.5 hours to fully charge.

For comparison, the Oneplus 11 I replaced it with fully charges in under half an hour, usually closer to 25 minutes (though I very rarely actually charge up to 100%).

I bought a second charger to keep in my backpack and it basically completely removes any battery anxiety that I used to have. The other day I was out after work and my phone was down to 5%. I saw that I was near a used bookstore, so I went in and charged my phone for 5 minutes while I looked around and I was back up to 35%, enough for several hours of screen on time.

Issue was not Pamac related, if it was then I'd have understood. They just saw that I had Pamac on my system and shut down my posts.

I'd disagree about that being the worst case scenario.

When I used to use Arch and asked a question on the Arch forum, they removed my post because they saw I was using Pamac so they assumed I was actually on Manjaro. They didn't ask me if I'm using Manjaro or anything, they just assumed I was and removed it.

I reposted the question and clarified that I was using Arch, but that got removed again due to it being a duplicate of a removed question.

I made a meta post about what I should be doing in order to not get my posts removed and that got removed as well, though I don't remember the reason they gave for that.

That was the last time I posted on the Arch forum and shortly after, I switched to Void Linux.

Really not much of a podcast person, but my favorite has to be the Stronger by Science podcast.

I live in NY. As a pedestrian, cars are way more annoying than bicycles.

If one of the two sessions is cardio, then it's not too bad. But yeah, lifting weights twice a day would be extremely difficult to recover from.

In my experience, Immich is way better for Photos.

If I had to guess, you have some photos that were backed up to Immich and then deleted on your phone.

I use a VPS. They don't charge based on CPU utilization so I run Folding@Home on it.

 

I'd probably have to go with Audiobookshelf and Kavita. Behind those would be Invidous and Immich.
