  • My sister has that snap 4 luxe type item from Amazon and it definitely has such a strong magnet that even attached to the case, it will stay stuck on the wireless charger haha, but I doubt the peltier cooling as effective at keeping it cool because the case is quite thick with snap 4 luxe increasing thickness too. While for my case less phone with only the slim magsafe ring, it is working really effectively at cooling the phone.

    I tried those slim frameless cases that had a magsafe ring embedded, too. Unfortunately they were a complete failure. One issue is that they break on the corner that has the S-pen, and one case in particular would fail to stay attached on the phone properly. I wish they were made properly but they were epic fails.(The other case had a metal plate for the magsafe notch, fails at preventing product from twisting)

    I looked at those frameless types but they are made of metal and would affect wireless performance. on top of that the design made me feel uneasy.



  • I personally went without a case myself and also decided against putting anything on the phone except the ESR magnetic ring to make my s25 ultra able to attach to magsafe products.(Small dab of Loctite glass glue to keep it from popping off with the magsafe products or just slide off the product instead of straight popping it off)

    I agree on it helping the phone keep cooler without the case. I even got one of those peltier cooling qi2 wireless chargers to make the phone extra cool when I am driving.

    Its a bit annoying to think a bit more on where I place my phone down or holding it but at least I am making sure I am using the phone and placing it in places that will not lose it.



  • Get the loctite glass glue and place a few dots around to help with adhesion but nott too much that it is permanent when you want to remove it.

    I personally sprung for the ESR magsafe hololock ring because I wanted it to be as flush as possible on my Samsung S25 Ultra. Being slim but still help with attaching to magsafe products is nice, especially since I live in a place that gets hot, I bought a qi2 car charger that has a peltier cooling unit in it. Phone is ice cold when I slide it off the charger

    Side note:
    popping it perpendicular to the surface has shown me that without the loctite glass glue, the ESR magnet ring will stay on the charger. So I just make sure to slide it off horizontally.

    That is pretty significant difference between what I had experienced, i guess not much more mpg for your vehicle for you vs my own eco vehicle. sorry your car doesn’t experience more efficiency gains. I am good where I am at. My suggestion wasn’t to stop you from achieving what would be higher speeds but rather you will feel the gas pedal be much harder to push. That is all

    We are now discussing what ifs, and honestly that is valid. Still not worth it in my book. Rather blame the traffic controllers who don’t check to make sure all cars are going through the light or straight up there is just too much traffic which isn’t solved by everyone driving 75+ MPH. It is solved if we instead offer better public transportation. At the end of the day we have different views here. I firmly believe in my own and do not think it is going to change anytime soon.

    It is just plain math, we all living with what we can do. If you are stuck with gas, I hope you can save up cash for a house. My sister finds houses for rent that are about the same rental cost as an apartment. I also found apartments that have a garage for me to park into. Similar rent cost but added 150/m probably not going to save money on gas but at least there are options my family has found to accommodate our needs.

    At the end of the day, driving electric or riding my bike, I save enough cash that I am able to save 150 to 300 a month.

    Plus saving pennies on gas? Sorry but that is the nature of a gas vehicle. They have a really short window of mpg between granny driving and rocketing at 75+.

    I calculated it plenty. when driving 65 MPH, the air resistance is good enough for you to get 28 to 30 mpg. Let’s keep it simple and just say 30 mile trip. At 75+ MPH, your efficiency starts taking a major hit. You will likely be traveling at 25 MPG. That is a +20 percent increase on gas consumption. If you think of it, that is a consistent 18% to 20% loss on gas.

    At $3.50/g(my current market) with an additional 20% increase of fuel usage so, $3.50 * 1.2 = $4.20

    For a 15 gallon tank, you are burning $63 worth of fuel on average.

    While on electric vehicle, it depends on types of charging. If you have solar then it’s free, I don’t. If you have simple home charger, my current rate is 20 cents per kWh. If you fast charge, then it is 50 to 60 cents per kWh.

    Most of the time I am getting between 3.5(above 65 MPH) to 4.5(below 65 MPH) Miles per kWh. With 30 mile trip that is 8.57 kWh to 6.67 kWh usage. This helps translate to cost of gas because 1 gallon at 65 MPH is about 30 miles. So if I do only home charging that is $1.70 to $1.33 for electric. Fast charging that is about $4.70 to $3.67 for just the 30 miles.

    15 gallons of gas can get you 375 miles at 25 MPG, or 450 at 30 MPG. Remember $63 for driving at 25 MPG vs $52.5 for driving at 30 MPG. With electric driving, to get 375 mile at 3.5 miles per kWh or 450 miles at 4.5 miles per kWh. we can translate them over.

    (Above 65 MPH) 375/3.5 = 107.15 kWh * $0.20 = $21.42
    (Below 65 MPH) 450/4.5 = 100 kWh * $0.20 = $20.00

    (Above 65 MPH) 107.15 kWh * $0.55 (fast charge) = $58.92
    (Below 65 MPH) 100 kWh * $0.55 = $55.00

    See now how crazy expensive that becoming for gas while electric is barely taking a hit? Makes little difference for electric vehicles, but gas? That is not pennies.

    Let me tell you I was being very generous with the MPG figure. I looked at family members MPG tracker on their car and they are getting 20 to 25 MPG, but I was being generous because isolating highway only driving is mostly a generous driving situation for a gas vehicle.

    Ha, what kind of commute are you doing cross country? That is a wildly long commute. If you find that you need to do 50 to 60 mile commutes then it’s not the norm here. Most of my commutes are within 5 to 25 miles. Driving on the highway at 75 saves as I said, with 1 minute or none at all just because I will hit the same red lights at the same time as others, mind you I do notice when someone flies past me on the fast lane and we reach the same exit ramp stop light.

    The pedal isn’t telling you, it’s basically making it so that you have to consciously push harder to go faster.(A natural deterrent to those who like to just push the car faster and faster without feeling).

    Sorry if you like going fast, and your unnaturally long commute is required. I rather save money instead of living like I never can save any money. Prices went up, I felt the economy lose control. You think Trump is going to lower them? Not really confident in that myself.

    I wish vehicles made it harder to go above 65 MPH.(Like a mandated regulation to have the foot pedal feel harder to push past 65). Like I want to save money in this economy. Going above 65 is mostly a complete waste of money and will more likely than not save less than a minute or none at all because we all will hit the same red lights on the city streets. I hate how normalized we all become to it. I now mostly drive city streets with either electric vehicle or electric bike. Rent is criminally expensive, people really expecting me to waste money driving 75 on the highway? Fuck that






  • Glibc’s qsort will default to either insertion sort mergesort or heapsort. Quicksort itself is used when it cannot allocate extra memory for mergesort or heapsort. Insertion sort is still used in the quicksort code, when there is a final 4 items that need to be sorted.

    Normally it is simply mergesort or heapsort. Why I know this? Because there was a recent CVE for quicksort and to reproduce the bug I had to force memory to be unable to be allocated with a max size item. It was interesting reading the source code.

    That is if you are not on a recent version of qsort which simply removed quicksort altogether for the mergesort + heapsort

    Older version still had quicksort and even some had insertion sort. Its interesting to look at all the different versions of qsort.
