Can we please stop complaining about lack of chargers bundled with phones? If the phone is overpriced, then sure, maybe it's fair, but if the price of the charger is subtracted from the price of the phone, then that's the right thing to do, the charger can be bought separately if needed. Everybody has like a dozen USB chargers at home, it's standard now. No need to bundle e-waste.

Why? What grammatical mistake did I make?
I mean, I've seen the Computer beam them up in most sub-optimal conditions. Usually, on away missions, using the shuttle. And I, of course, understand that the real answer is "because the plot demands it". But it still annoys me a bit.
What annoys me is that there are episodes where they show that the Computer is perfectly capable of beaming people (and much-much more) all by itself, but for some reason they need a person to slowly pull 3 sliders up and down.
Reverse Pinocchio?
– It was a perfect call! *gestures with hands weirdly*
Game is game. Play whatever brings you joy. Except FIFA, of course.
Lemmy often assumes the worst about comments. I think people interpreted* your comment as "can you imagine this woman I know enjoys this kiddy game?!". While you really meant, I think, "some adults like to play Fortnite, too, actually".
Correct me if I'm wrong.
She is a little weird. IIRC, at some point she looks directly at the camera. And I always just assumed she was played by Fox, was she not? I didn't confirm.
Yeah, maybe it was a bad example, because in some very specific scenario, it can work. My point was that treating a symptom won't cure the underlying disease. Just like as long as there are rich people, trying to take away their planes won't work.
Ah, as in it provides respect? And sounds like cash? I know, I know, dissecting jokes is a lot of fun.
You can use your old USB-A to C cables, it's not mandatory to use the new cables. For me, they often stay in the box, because all of my chargers already have cables anyway.
Everything else you said it's just examples of how other manufacturers still bundle e-waste. This is in no way a counter-argument. I'm not saying companies aren't assholes, the problem isn't that they don't include chargers. The problem is that they exclude chargers and keep the price the same without any significant improvements to the phone itself.
Vast majority of buyers these days already have chargers, and the bundled charger will only bump the price, only to be chucked into a drawer to stay there forever. If a consumer does need a charger, there are plenty good options on the market with multi-port options.
