@techspurtvideo.bsky.social Hey man, just watched your OnePlus 13 review, seriously considering updating from my OnePlus 9 pro but I'm confused about the new charging speed options. The 13 doesn't seem to come with a charger. Will it charge on a Qi pad? What speed will a standard charger give?

Hello Bluesky 👋👋👋👋🐙👋👋👋👋
A lot of customers have asked us to swim our way over here, so we're dipping our tentacles in.
Give us a follow, we'll be floating around to chat all things green & geeky, make energy fairer, and own up to van printing disasters:

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if all you accomplish this weekend is reading a riveting novel cover-to-cover whilst drinking multiple kettles of tea and consuming a scandalous amount of croissants, then you will have accomplished more than enough.

I've been playing Alien Isolation on #Switch for a few weeks, it's a great game but it's good to finally have some defence against the 👽

It's a skill knowing exactly where not to stand 😁

My wife's an artist based in St Ives, Cornwall. UK. At the age of 14 she left school to become an apprentice 'paintress' (this was before equal ops was a thing, the men were called painters) at world renowned Royal Doulton. At this time of year she revisits her origins and paints festive baubles.

I took this photo years ago, in fact it was decades! 2005 to be exact. I used a real camera, y'know a device which just records images, didn't do anything else, connect to the internet GPS nothing. A Pentax Optio S. f5.3, 1/250 if you're interested.
I still think it's rather good.

If you have the AUDACITY to play video games on "easy" or "story" mode...
I want you to know that I think that's a perfectly acceptable way to enjoy a video game that you paid for because you're supposed to enjoy your favorite pastime any way you like.
Real life's hard enough. Enjoy your hobby.👍
