      no, into the front. Otherwise it would still be usable while charging

    Its obviously a conspiracy to buy more cables that get damaged when you inevitably bend it when you use and charge it.

      You know they sell usb cables with a 90 degree angle on the plug, right?

    Had a Sony Ericsson (early Xperia, not one of 'em old dumbphones) where the micro-usb would plug into one side and headphones into the other (left and right side, that is). Pretty comfy to use with both a charger and headphones at the same time.

    Every single phone after that has been charger at bottom and headphone jack at top or not at all. Massive downgrade IMO.

    If you have an android install Rotation Orientation Manager. You can have your phone work upside down. Now that phones are pretty much bezel-less it doesn’t make a difference how you hold it

    Years ago I had these little magnetic lugs that you popped into the charge port and the cable just snapped onto the little magnet. Always thought I’d be cool to have a phone case with a track all the way around the phone so that the magnet cable could pop anywhere and the would charge off it. Then it’s always where it’s most convenient instead of right where you don’t want it.

    If you have an android just turn your phone upside down and the screen flips over 🤷

      Depends on your particular device. Mine will go 90° but not 180°.

        Check the rotations settings. It’s off by default.

        Yes. But I’m sure there’s also an app for that.

        180 is what you’re talking about though. My S21 Ultra can flip upside down too.

    phones should charge wirelessly while they’re in my pocket or being held.

      Wireless charging is inefficient and ends up generating a bunch of heat

    The first phone I had was a Nokia, it had the charging port on the top, I remember a nuisance about it but that was almost 10 years ago.

    I agree. I hate it being on the bottom. I can’t lie down on my back supporting the phone with my belly while charging.

    Just use an app that force your screen to flip upside down (Android allows this)

        You don’t, but I at least rarely use my phone while it’s charging anyway.

      It’s horribly inefficient. I refuse to use it!

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS
