Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    ~~Remove the battery~~ Wait, you can't do that these days...

    With enough height, any drop would do. 😎 Follow me for more shitty advice.

    That begs the question of whether the terminal velocity of a phone is enough to eject the battery.

    Unless the height you're dropping it from is on Jupiter

    I tried typing velocity in the terminal and got a velocity command not found.

    I guess the command crew is out on vacation, so no terminal velocity 🤔

    I'm pretty sure it is, an arms height drop on the right angle can break open most smartphones, statistically speaking we need a bigger height to increase our chances.

    Unfortunately my phone is rated to withstand such a fall...

    May as well sign up for some Vim users groups, then.

    So most modern smartphones do use adhesive strips to attach the battery to the midframe and its pretty strong... Which is why I always advise heating your device to 70c BEFORE lobbing it off the roof to help with battery removal!

    I'm 6 feet 2 inches. Would that be high enough?

    Too late. Removed batteries, now car doesn't start ☹️
