Having been hit by KeyboardGate, I implore you to apply that theory to me. Even if we say I'm 29, the upper end of your assertion for that to be true I would have to have been 12 when I joined Slashdot after lurking for 4 years, starting at age 8. If you go back to my early posts (I'm not sure it's even possible to go back that far, I can only seem to go as far back as the end of 2008 for post history; my UID dates my account, though), you'll note that they were likely not written by a 12 year old.
Since one of your baseless assertions is clearly incorrect, it would be reasonable to assume that the other two are equally incorrect, as they are equally baseless.
Do you not see irony in the fact that you've become what you hate? You're no different than the in-your-face, cram-their-shit-down-people's-throats, difficult-to-avoid, and hostile marketers that you so despise (and have accused my of being one of in the past). You literally get in people's faces, cram your shit down out throats, persist when people tell you they're not interested, and approach us all in the most hostile way possible; and it doesn't matter what your reason is, nor whether the reason is legitimate or simply perceived, what matters is the very behaviors you are exhibiting are the very behaviors those of us who block ads with to avoid.
So, why would we use a piece of software written by an advertiser to block ads?
The simple answer is that those of us who are sane would not. And we will not. That bridge burned the moment you started spamming and the crossing was dug wider when you started attacking people who pointed it out.
What makes me sad about this is that, one day, you'll stop. And when you do, we won't have a way to know whether it was because you finally sought treatment, were committed, killed yourself, were killed, or if you finally realized the irony in your actions.
At this point, the only way I would say your software was worth a damn is if it were also miraculously able to block your posts here on Slashdot. If that happened, honestly, that would make it the best fucking piece of software ever written. Of course, the advertiser only ever wants to block everyone else's ads, and never their own.
(cont.) Also, it seems that much has changed in the quality of your software in the past two years and several months. You see, there appears to be a glaring bug in your Slashdot spamming script that is causing it to double-post, though the grammar modification algorithm appears to be working (despite being obvious).
Please cease using my moniker at least until that has been fixed. Preferably, cease using it at all, especially while you're bitching about a company using your initials, when you know damn well the Android Package isn't named after you and more than the NSA is named after Norman Stanley Alexander.
THANKS FOR THAT MUCH & since you like the Windows model (perfectly accurate)?
I never said I liked it, I said the work was good. If I liked it, I would use it, and I don't (and if I did, I would admit as much; I'm not one to bit off my nose to spite my face). You should know from the rest of that conversation that I would never use software written by someone as toxic and vile as you. It may be clean and safe today, but there's no reason to believe it will remain that way, particularly when you seem to have personal vendettas against so many people, myself included, and it would be trivial to throw some nastiness in that only triggers when the software detects that it is running on a system used by one of those people (for example, by looking for browser cookies of Slashdot logins for your targeted individuals).
You see, we're not all as stupid as you think us. If we were, we'd make easy targets for exploit by your wares.
It'll be at least 12 generations (how long it took them to adopt a wireless charging standard in the first place) before they do that. If you want to be truly pessimistic, but still within the realm or reality, maybe 5-7 generations like the 30 pin connector.
I'm all for giving Apple shit where it's due (and there is a lot of it due) but really?
Did Apple introduce the headphone jack in the 12th generation of the iPhone, 6 generations after everyone else had one? Because that's what they did with Qi charging.
Historically, we can expect it to last 12 generations. After all, it's not a data port; if it were, we could expect it to last 5-7 generations at best.
P.S. I love it when people approach me as though I'm an Apple hater, because I can point them to my post history to see where I've supported Apple when they've actually done the right thing (or post something like the 2nd paragraph above to make the same point). I also quite enjoy when someone approaches me as though I'm an Apple fanboi, because I can point them to my post history to see where I've torn Apple down over their bullshit (or post something like the 2nd paragraph above to make the same point). In truth, I'm a realist; I use the products of theirs that work for me, and I voice the issues I have with the products of theirs which do not (in the hope that my voice will be loud enough, when added to many others, for Apple to hear), because they're the only vendor right now who could potentially create an end-to-end platform I might actually want to use. Microsoft was another contender until they released Windows 10 and killed their mobile platform; Samsung could be in the running if they had a desktop OS.
Going single-vendor generally simplifies business purchasing; for a lot of us, though, Apple needs to fix quite a few things before we can justify pulling that trigger. The iPhone's wireless charging, really and truly, is not one of those things.
when I posted it before here [link to the post you're replying to for the second time]
Uh...
LAME & WEAK - another method from me
Indeed, another lame and weak method from you...
also a PROTECTIVE TECHNIQUE I use in my hosts file engine
So you invented the digital signature? Or is it someone else's invention and work that you're using, much like the hosts file and the host lists you concatenate, while bitching about people using your initials as though you're the only APK in the world? Here's a hint: you're not, and many of them are far more notable and recognizable than you.
Apple's 29 watt charger will charge the phone fully in 2 hours, while heating the battery and reducing its overall lifespan. 7.5 watts will charge it fully in about 8 hours, with much less heat; that's more than adequate for overnight charging and the lower temperatures mean a longer lifespan for the battery.
The current version of the Qi Low Power standard supports up to 15 watts. Apple could implement that with no problems. 15 Watts is plenty to charge my current S9+, which has a larger battery, overnight; it also keeps it charged while using maps, playing music, and acting as an informational display (map in a window in the corner) attached to an OBD-II reader in my truck on long trips. Now, the S9+ has a 3,000mAh battery, compared to the iPhone 8+'s 2,675mAh, so I'm confident it would do the same for the iPhone; especially as I keep hearing the claim that the iPhone sips power compared to an Android device. Mind you, most of that confidence comes from the fact that my wife charges her iPhone 8+ on my Qi charger all the time, so I'm speaking from real world experience.
For the record, the S9+ supports 12v 2.6A charging (Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0, 31.2 watts), yet Qi charging is still more than adequate. The standard actually goes up to 22v, though the included charger caps out at 12v; I haven't tried plugging in to one that hits 22v yet, but my understanding is that it would charge at 57.2 watts. The battery, of course, would get a lot hotter during that charge cycle, further reducing its life, which is why I don't use Quick Charge in the first place.
Do you really not realize that the current generation of iPhone already use Qi flawlessly? Yes, I do really think Apple would allow that to happen, because they already did. Now, go look through my post history and realize I'm certainly no Apple apologist or fanboi, I call them out on a lot of bullshit, but one must give credit where it is due lest they lose any and all credibility as many who are replying to my comment above seem to be trying to do.
Funny, I set my phone on the charger on my night stand at night and take it off in the morning; the battery lasts me a full day (or two, it's rarely below 50% by the end of the night) and I don't have to worry about charging it in a car or on a plane. Of course, it's helpful during a long drive if I do put my phone in the dash mount I installed that has a Qi charger built in and holds the phone in place quite nicely. If I recall correctly, I bought it in early 2014 along with my LG G3, so this isn't a new development.
Slashdot Mirror
We did, until Apple documents came to light showing that they knew the phones bent too easily.

One might also infer projection.
And if the sim card is removed, PIN changed on another phone, and SIM card is reinserted, all while the phone is off? SIM change not detected.
So you've never taken your eyes off your phone for more than 3 hours at a time? Say, while sleeping?
I mean, version 1.0 didn't;, then again neither did iOS. Both do now, though.
Do you not see irony in the fact that you've become what you hate?

Uh... that wasn't me, dipshit.
That name is just to assure us that there will be a giant hole in the middle of it.
Well if they do it, they lose the one advantage they have over iOS.

What proprietary extensions? It works just fine.
I find I have to be really nudgy to get it in the right spot to charge.
I've found that with shitty chargers, as well. Spend the extra dollar on a good one and that problem disappears.
Funny, I set my phone on the charger on my night stand at night and take it off in the morning; the battery lasts me a full day (or two, it's rarely below 50% by the end of the night) and I don't have to worry about charging it in a car or on a plane.

Uh... The iPhone 8 and iPhone X both use Qi, actually. My wife uses my Samsung Qi charger with her iPhone all the time. Try again, maybe?
To be fair, you can get Qi chargers for less than the typical Lightning cable, so this might be a net win for iPhone users.
You sure that's your phone?
That makes you broke, not poor.
I must be, I keep getting invited to them.
Cleveland suburbs are nowhere near as expensive as the west coast. This was about 8 years ago.
