[13:34:31] my Redmi really just said "fuck you" and turned off w/ white flickering diode and w/o any signs of life [13:35:02] Ah [13:35:04] wat [13:35:16] Hmmm? [13:35:22] lol [13:35:27] my phone died [13:35:28] my mi 8 did that a while ago [13:35:33] O [13:35:38] but it was just a battery issue [13:35:58] Yeah, most of the times that happens, it's battery [13:36:13] I think it's battery too, it was at 1% when this happened [13:36:20] well ya, then :p [13:36:21] O [13:36:25] but I've been charging for 12? hours now [13:36:28] and nothing [13:36:32] Might have a buggered battery. [13:36:37] Yeah, charge for 24hours [13:36:41] Or charging device, plausibly. [13:36:46] do you charge your phone via your computer? [13:36:51] assuming you have a computer [13:36:57] If there is nothing after 12 hours, something is wrong period. [13:37:07] But that could be charger or charged. [13:37:09] WHO CHARGES W/ COMPUTER LOL [13:37:13] Cable, once in a while [13:37:15] 👀 [13:37:16] 😂 [13:37:17] me [13:37:22] me too [13:37:24] I have 4 chargers, all new and good on other phones [13:37:33] Charging it for 24hrs is a bad idea. It might cause your battery to decrease battery life further, causing it to die faster. [13:37:34] So if they work elsewhere I might suspect the battery [13:37:43] i'm doing that now just because my room is yet in construction so i have no ethernet cable here [13:37:52] but my new computer doesn't have wifi, so i'm using tethering [13:37:53] the battery is died already... [13:38:00] how 'overcharge' (at 100%) affects a battery is entirely a matter of the device [13:38:08] the batter is died already? [13:38:12] if it has not charged in that time, it's not that it is reducing battery life, it's that the battery is trashed [13:38:20] however, using tethering has a strange bug here [13:38:21] i think [13:38:32] Or it's so insufficient at the job you may as well use something else [13:38:36] if i turn on my PC with the phone connected, it says it's charging, but it's not really [13:38:40] But the simple act of being plugged in for 24 hours doesn't hurt [13:38:54] Probably because USB ports can be rather pathetic in that respect, especially on a more demanding device [13:39:34] The modern battery typically has measures to regulate overcharge, however [13:39:45] or phone I should say [13:40:11] i think all chargers nowadays stop charging if the battery is at 100% [13:40:26] at least the one i got does, because the plug gets hot when it's charging [13:40:30] Essentially, when it's done it simply refuses the connection [13:40:33] and when it gets to 100%, it stops [13:40:50] you now what funnier? my old Nokia E72 is working all fine but it rejects my SIM, going into reboot loop works normal w/ other SIMs [13:40:54] If a battery/device doesn't do that, it's old or faulty [13:41:11] Haven't heard of a sim do that, but I ain't much of a phone tech [13:41:57] i also have a nokia c3, still working [13:43:07] I meant that charging w/ PC never was effective for my phones [13:43:30] utterly slow and weak [13:43:47] That happens to me too [13:43:57] pretty normal experience I'm sure [13:44:13] Although it does seem to work with me on most devices, mainly just to top off. [13:44:14] i'll stop charging with my PC once I can get my ethernet cable on my room [13:44:29] that's understandable [13:45:05] and tethering the max speed is like, 40 mbps, while on the cable i can go up to 400 mbps [13:45:20] Ow! [13:46:09] i think i should get a 1 gbps plan 🤔 [13:46:27] 1gbps? [13:46:53] 1 gigabyte per sec [13:47:18] Yeah, I know, I was like wow [13:47:20] Charge me up the butt if I was to get that around here >.> [13:47:32] 15 mbps is about top line right here [13:48:20] heh, in 2007 my speed was around 500 kbps, lol [13:48:42] that's actually 1e+9 bit per second [13:49:31] i wish the speed could actually reach a gigabyte each second, but i think marketing wins [13:49:50] hehehe, I was expecting that [17:14:20] @Owen: got a sec (not mh related) [17:14:36] @RhinosF1 sure [17:15:21] @Owen: would an hour's long doctors appointment that's definately not needed be a reasonable way to get access to a child for a Section 47 enquiry? [17:19:25] (I know that's specific) [17:24:01] A Section 47 Enquiry is lead by the relevant local authority social services department, though there is a statutory requirement for all other relevant agencies to be involved and co-operate. This would include local health care provisions from NHS trusts and GP surgeries. A GP, once asked for information, may choose to arrange an appointment if the information needed is either not available or disputed. A health care [17:24:02] professional is usually asked to answer a number of questions and provide results of certain tests that aren't routinely carried out. When the question arises of whether it is reasonable would be for a social worker to decide who are lawfully responsible for ensuring a Section 47 is carried out in a way to minimise stress and risk to a child. If a social worker is asking for information that doesn't exist, it would be reasonable for [17:24:02] a health care professional to gather that information as it is in the best interests of the child. [17:25:24] I've never dealt with Section 47 so the above is non-specific and may potentially be inaccurate but that is my understanding of the legislation and relevant guidelines I am aware of, but I'm neither in children social care or a medical professional environment so wouldn't know how they handle such processes. [17:27:41] No it makes sense [17:28:09] It's hard without giving context but I'm sure the process can be trusted
