while that is a nice number wnd you should stop there, i have to wonder what kind of lifestyle you have to go through so many iphones? good thing lightning cables dont need child support, right?
@TheCustom FHD If android phone is locked it does not matter, you just cant get access…
I love that they chose Colton to “play” the role of a naive user who is vulnerable to social engineering attacks…
@Sven RAW and RELOADED that I know but why accuse Colton ? I think he knows better no?
this has to be THE BEST LTT shorts ever. I lost it when I saw colton standing on the chair at the end
“of course, if you’re in a long term relationship with your USB, you don’t really need to use protection.”
Stolen channel or just an independent woman that has a job on the internet on a site that has a blue logo.
thats even more true, if you find a random usb on the ground, throw it out, dont plug it into a computer to see whats on it!
“Use Protection” this phrase can be used in every aspect of life.
Be it virtual, physical or even the most important time of using your dongle.
@Rickhard Hartmann They always say just the tip but it never ends up being just the tip.
You can also get charging cords with no data wires. But those tend to annoyingly only be around when you need to transfer data
The small 5cm ones that come with power banks are handy for this, usually only does power.
You know what it also prevents? Fast charging. You need the data line to give and get info to and from the charger to check whether fast charging is compatible
@Sherlock Sinha quite the opposite. Data lines are in use when fast charging. This is why there is no computer USB port that supports fast charging and data transfer. If there is, it probably uses type C or basic power transfer technology
Tbf most public ports such as on public transport doesn’t have any fast charging
Yous shouldnt be in a hurry when you use the hole at home, the protection is only for emergency and you are really desperate for a hole when out and about.
It’s worse than that… Data lines are used in standard charging. You know those 5v 2A chargers? They need data lines. You’re restricted to 500ma without them.
@Channel Name • 10 years ago “This is why there is no computer USB port that supports fast charging and data transfer” What are you talking about of course there is, I have a USB hub in my screen that does 65w+display ports+pheripherals through usb just fine. Maybe you refer to USB-A plugs?
