Bad for the charging port. You know, that hole with 24 extremely tiny wires and pins? Once that’s damaged, you have a brick, not a phone.

This is why I believe in UK plug supremacy. Extreme support, extreme safety. Be extreme today. Convert to the UK plug

They’re talking about the USB port. Which might have been inferred from “24 pins”.

Phones are pretty light as long as you set it in there gently and didn’t do it often it wouldn’t hurt anything.

You can’t assert that. Not to a certainty.

Or you open it up and replace the daughterboard holding the port. Worked fine when I did it for a friend.

I don’t think I have seen many phones with that feature.

A backup, sure. But I use Android Auto every day. Also, I wouldn’t be able to charge it from my power bank or use headphones if the USB-C port was damaged.

If the cable is that long, why not just set it on the floor?

I’m a huge fan of creating a meme about another person, and using a drawing like this. It allows the person to remain anonymous.

She looks happy, at least. Maybe it’s kinda meditative. You don’t want to move too much. Just sit, relax, and be a table.

It’s brilliant in its simplicity. I’d never think of that. I’d try to overengineer something out of the environment, but with less skill than MacGyver.

I would just stand and hold it. Or see if it could reach a pocket

I would just pull out the longer cable from my backpack. Or use the power bank I have in my backpack. Or use the power bank as a pass-through to use both the cables. Or accept the fate and shutdown my primary phone partially* or completely.

*Partial shutdown means disabling certain services and features to save power without fully shutting down everything. This does usually not mean using a battery saver. I use MIUI, it is already fairly unpredictable and regular battery saver** only makes this situation worse.

**There’s also ultra battery saver which kills everything deemed unnecessary running in the background. That couldn’t be more predictable.

Airplane mode is also pretty good to save battery.
