i am thinking about if getou and gojo really did continue talking afterwards and like the tiny intricate details and logistics of their lives.

they part in 2007. they had flip phones.

getou dies in 2016. they had iphones, instagram, snapchat, and dog filters.

when getou first goes rogue, shoko and gojo probably still have his number and are blowing his shit up. he probably has his phone off for the first days of it and turns it back on after. there’s no need to trash it out of a want to stay hidden—he won’t die unless they send an army or gojo himself.

when he turns his cell back on, he’s half-tempted to delete all his photos of jujutsu tech, with shoko, with gojo, and he gets as far as deleting maybe 15 of them in a heavy-breathed rage before convincing himself that maybe he doesn’t need to delete these. these are mementos of the said pinnacle of jujutsu, and they’ll come in handy when there are no non-sorcerers left.

he’s about to put the cellphone away before it rings. it’s satoru. he sighs. he calls once every day. it’s relentless, six or seven calls at minute intervals. getou almost laughs at it—the world’s strongest, desperate.

a month after his disappearance, he calls every night at ten. sometimes the pixels on his cell read 10:04, 10:21, the latest was 10:42. it becomes a ritual, agonizing every night wanting to finally beat gojo at something, to make him lose. but suguru finds himself holding his breath as 10pm wanders by every day, breathing easy only when his phone stops buzzing.

maybe one night he’s yet again alone in his shoebox apartment, assorted belongings littered about, convincing himself this was the best path for him. not jujutsu tech, the horrible missions, the loneliness, the taste. it feels better here, where no one else is happy.

he’s lost in a daze when his phone rings. it’s been three months and satoru won’t let up. every night. he scoffs and flips his cell open just to sneer and make a point, to feel powerful in his own mind, but once the line connects, he’s silent, mouth agape and eyes wide that he actually picked up.

he hears static from the other side, a shift of fabric, a shaky inhale. “suguru, you fucking idiot,” gojo sneers, loud on the other end, “what’d ya pick up by accident?”

getou can’t help but laugh from the bottom of his heart. his abs are burning and tears are falling by the time he contains himself, and memories flood back. selfies, dumb finds, food pics, phone bills crazy all from hours on the phone together. there’s satoru’s voice, and then there’s lofi samsung static-lined satoru’s voice. both sound like home.

“suguru—“

“satoru,” he breathes, and this is what it feels like to talk again. he’s lived in this apartment in silence for the past three months, voices only coming from his saved videos.

“come home, suguru.” they both know it’s impossible.

getou chuckles again into the speaker. he can almost see it, satoru’s spindly form, one leg propped up on a chair, elbow resting on it as he holds the phone in distaste. or maybe he’s completely prone, jolted awake by a voice he hadn’t expected to hear.

“satoru, you’ll be fine,” he chimes, hanging up. he squeezes his eyes shut and swallows a sigh, and just like that, he’s left home again.

three years later the calls have stopped. the iphone 4 comes out, and the world is awash in touch screens, app stores, and missing charging cables. it’s time for an upgrade, and getou powers off his flip phone—his youth—one last time and tucks it gingerly into a shoebox. he starts completely anew with no data to transfer.

gojo meticulously transfers every contact and double checks only one number. it’s the first call he makes on his new phone.

the number you have dialed is not in service—

he hangs up and slows his breathing. he doesn’t delete the number. suguru, the contact reads.

you’ll be fine.

JSAUX Nylon Braided Cords (Micro USB/Lighting) - Part 1 (first half recorded) (Apr. 6th, 2024)

After going through my Fintie Slim Case review two weeks later, I’m now finally moving with the next one that me and to one of my closest friends are been waiting for. This here’s my two related items from Mar. 12th to the 24th (even after on the 25th that I’d eventually got my new tablet case as I’d mentioned).

⬆️ (1st to 2nd images; from March 2024 after obtained these packages from Amazon.com)

Say hello to my new charging cables of 2024. Guess you’ve never expected to have two new charging cable I’d asked my mom to ordered from Amazon.com last month. You see, I’d originally planned to have just one charging cable for my Samsung Tab E device; especially what happened to my original usb cable years later. Link Here

Though I was thinking of getting a second charging cable for my recent iPad device I’m holding. It wasn’t a bad suggestion or anything, but sure glad to save up both boxes as of this writing. On the left (Dated: Mar. 12th) was the first one to obtained, but also said that it only supported on Apple devices such as phones or tablets. Meanwhile on the right (Dated: Mar. 24th) is a second delivery I’d been waited for days later. At least now knowing that this is the one for my android device to set up with. Sure looks identical on both of their box designs, but doesn’t mean they’re in a same sizes when saving in comparison soon. Same goes when doing the unboxing part that you wanted to see.

⬆️ (3rd through 6th images; on Mar. 31st from 2:26 to 2:32 P.M.)

Saving it at the end of March 2024; during in the afternoon is where I’d made some comparisons with both boxes. As you might of guess, it was pretty much different in sizes as expected to be. Guess what I’m doing the unboxing part first? Though nevertheless, it was not bad from the beginning for each boxes I’d compared to.

⬆️ (7th through 10th Images; from 2:38 to 2:46 P.M.)

I’m now moving on with the unboxing part within seconds later. Gotta say, it looked unique than my other original cables I’ve been using for years. This time, they’re nylon braided colored red and blue cables in display. I’ve been waited to get one of those that promised for strength and protection, but also hoping that can work for any devices to charge well without error.

So anyways, the first one is the blue Micro-USB cable(s), but never expected of owning two cables in one box before. Sure, I can save the second cable if I’d possibly lost the first cable to find; at least not necessarily. That being said, I think having two cables for myself was an odd yet thoughtful choice to take. So I don’t see why not it was worth it.

Nevertheless, as I’d continued on is having a small booklet to mostly its elastic straps. That’s good news to see it came from the box. 😃👍 Now I can wrapped around them unlike some other original cables In tangled mess. Though I have been using bread ties as alternatives, but sometimes it might break easily if pulling it too much. Thank goodness now that I’d had some elastic straps for the first time. Same goes to my red colored Lighting cable; at least for just one strap made.

⬆️ (11th through 13th Images; on Apr. 6th, 2024 from 7:36 to 7:38 A.M.)

Now this here I've been saving for this month later, but finally got to test out with my blue Micro-USB cable onto my older Samsung device; during the afternoon. I'm sure everyone and mostly one of my friends are hoping to see; if it can detect while charging through my old tablet that is.

Before I can set things up, I'd loosing up those two white rubber bands that was secure from said usb cable packaging. As for how long does this item is? Just about 6.6 ft actually. Now if I can save some time to compared with my original Samsung cable later in extras. Also, another look of this elastic strap as I'd notice there's two of them sticking together. So that’s explained why I’d gotten two cables in one box/package, but should’ve show of myself taking each elastic straps off together before moving on. 🤷‍♂️

⬆️ (14th through 21st Images; from 7:40 to 7:59 A.M.)

Next up, I’d used this recent adaptive Samsung charger to connect with my new charging cable. Believe or not, this still works that I’d been using it for my older Samsung device years later. Until its original usb cable gotten worn down and aged you’d already seen before. At least knowing its adaptive charger still running well as I’d connected to my older device again. Nice! 😉👍

⬆️ (22nd through 25th Images; from 7:59 to 8:00 A.M.)

With that, I’d eventually turn on my android device shortly after taking some photos out of it. Looks promising so far, but it was odd that where the progress begin at 11% of battery life from the start. It should’ve been from the beginning at zero percentage after letting my device running dry days later. Nevertheless, at least that’s all according to my plans as of this recording.

⬆️ (26th through 28th Images; from 8:01/8:02 to 12:35 P.M.)

And now after waited through hours; while keeping an eye of exact timing, my older Samsung device now fully charged at 🔋100% of battery life. Good! 😁👍 I’m really glad to see it lit up again, but also with my 128GB SanDisk card that kept with my photos/drawings I’d been transferred to. At least it still there after few years later, but sure does felt like forever to be honest. Getting back to this review though, my new charging cable did an fine job albeit slightly than I would’ve hoped. You see when examining the time through with some photos; from 8 to 12 P.M., it took about 5 hours of charging up my older Samsung tablet device. Not exactly for quick charging results to have. That being said, it did tried its best of helping my device out without some issues. With having the nylon braided material for hopes of better protection, consider my original Samsung cable being replaced.

My Overall Thoughts/Impressions: ⬇️

As far as this first parter, testing out with my new micro-usb cable wasn’t too bad during this review. Despite having to wait around five hours or less, it still detect to my older Samsung tablet for the first time I’d connected with. At least now it helped fully charged up once more.

Hope you guys enjoy this review, but sorry if I’d been keeping this waited from weeks ago. Though stay tuned as I’m saving for the second parter soon. Until then, I’ll be taking some break time already.

Old phones!

I ask mum and dad to have all old phones and dad bring the box! I love to play with these as a kid (just pretend, don’t really turn on). A lot have missing batteries or charger cables or is just broken/dead. But some I get to turn on and charge and work! It is funny that the very very old Nokia phones still work but the much newer Samsung ones is completely dead.

[image description: a chaotic picture of many old phones, some smartphone, some flip phone, some with buttons and only tiny screen, all scattered on the floor. There is a box with a mess of cables that is partly in the photo at the edge. End ID.]

I find cute kid pictures of me (and my sister, but I don’t post those), here is a few of just me. It is a bit funny that so many things is the same, like my posture! I hold my hands the same positions and same hypotonia (low muscle tone) posture in the third picture still today. (It looks like exact same as picture you get on Google when you search “hypotonia posture” and it is cartoon image of a child sitting like me in third picture 😂).

[image description: Ezra at about four or five years old, sitting in car seat with pink long-sleeve top with big purple spots, bumblebee over-ear headphones that have yellow colour with black stripes on ear parts, and chunky bead necklace. Picture is very zoomed in and pixelated, because it is from old Nokia phone. End ID.]

[image description: very zoomed in and pixelated picture of young Ezra sitting with his hands up at shoulder height and wrists floppy so hands bend in towards each other. He have a bit of popcorn hanging out his mouth. He is wearing a pink short sleeve top. His teddy bear, Marmalade, sits on his lap and there is a pillow behind him with blue bubble pattern pillowcase. End ID.]

I still have those bedsheets!! On my bed right now, in fact. They are so soft and I love them. And of course still have Marmalade, but he is a bit older looking now!

[image description: very zoomed in picture of young Ezra sitting in slouched position, with hands together in between his legs and feet pointing downwards because his toes only just reach the ground. He is wearing a pink flowery top, grey leggings, and pink shoes with Velcro straps. His hair is shoulder length tied back in a low ponytail with a flower clip at the side. His head is turned away from the camera, and his back is very curved because of his slouched posture. End ID.]

I remember these shoes vaguely. I think they were sparkly.

[image description: young Ezra, about five or six years old, eating a hot dog with ketchup. He is holding it in a napkin. He has pink butterfly face paint, and is wearing a pink short sleeve top. His hair is messy and windswept and has a blue clip at one side to attempt to keep it tidy. It is not tidy at all, and one piece of his hair is almost in the ketchup. End ID.]

[image description: a very pixelated image of a very young Ezra, about three years old. He is wearing a long denim skirt, pale purple long sleeve top, and a flowery headband to hold back his hair. He is kneeling on the ground next to a bookshelf, and tilting his head with a slight smile, biting his bottom lip. His hands are clasped in his lap, holding something that is not clear in the picture. The image is extra unclear because of the light from the window behind. End ID.]

Those are the cutest pictures I could find, there is more but that is only what I want to share.

Unfortunately when I go through one of the phones that used to be mine, I find old pictures and things that is scary and upsetting and I get very scared. Mum have to come and help calm down. It remind of bad memories and make brain very loud. I need to go and change it and delete things (like old wrong name, and bad pictures and videos with bad people or at bad place or at bad time in my life) from that phone at some point, but not today, too much overwhelming.

[riflebrass]

My adapters came in last night. I got some micro USB to type C plugs so I don't have to replace all my charge cords. I plugged my phone in last night at 80% and it said it was charging but this morning when I got up it was still at 80. I just grabbed a random cord out of a bin so I hope it's just a bad cord and not the adapter being worthless.

Since this piece of shit Samsung phone didn't come with an aux port I picked up a USB-C/aux splitter so I could use it on the car stereo. It basically doesn't work. The slightest movement makes the aux disconnect/reconnect automatically lowering the volume and/or skipping the songs back and forth. Trying to fix the volume or press play to a paused song causes something else to go wrong.

My old phone used to do this if the aux connection was janky, usually with a loose wire in the cord so I'll try replacing the aux cable. If that doesn't work I'll just use Bluetooth headphones.

Fast Charging Cable: A Game-Changer in Modern Smartphone Technology

In today's fast-paced world, where we rely heavily on our smartphones for everything from communication to entertainment, having a reliable and efficient charging solution is crucial. One of the most significant advancements in this area is the fast charging cable. If you're tired of waiting hours for your phone to reach full charge, investing in a fast charging cable can make a world of difference. At Sankarani Communication, we understand the importance of staying connected, and that's why we're here to discuss everything you need to know about fast charging cables and how they can revolutionize your charging experience.

What is Fast Charging?

Before diving into the importance of fast charging cables, it’s essential to understand what fast charging means. Fast charging refers to a technology that allows devices to charge at a faster rate compared to standard charging. Most smartphones today come with fast charging support, allowing users to power up their devices much quicker.

Traditional chargers typically deliver 5 watts (W) of power, whereas fast charging can deliver anywhere from 18W to 100W, depending on the charger and device. The higher the wattage, the faster the phone charges. However, to take full advantage of fast charging, you need both a compatible phone and the right accessories, including a fast charging cable.

How Does a Fast Charging Cable Work?

A fast charging cable is designed to handle higher power outputs compared to regular cables. The cable's ability to deliver more current and voltage directly impacts the charging speed. With fast charging, the charger sends more current through the cable into the device’s battery without generating excessive heat or damaging the battery, thanks to intelligent charging technology.

Here’s a simple breakdown of how it works:

Higher Current: Fast charging cables are built with thicker wires that can carry more current (amperes), typically up to 3A or higher.

Improved Voltage Regulation: Fast charging cables allow higher voltage transfers, enabling the charger to supply more power efficiently.

Efficient Data and Power Transfer: Some fast charging cables also support high-speed data transfer, allowing you to sync files quickly while charging your device.

Why Choose a Fast Charging Cable?

Save Time Time is of the essence, especially when you're on the go. With a fast charging cable, you can charge your smartphone up to 50% in as little as 30 minutes. Whether you're traveling or preparing for an important meeting, fast charging ensures you won’t be left waiting.

Compatibility with Modern Devices Most modern smartphones, including flagship models from Apple, Samsung, and OnePlus, support fast charging. Having a compatible fast charging cable ensures you can fully utilize your phone’s potential, keeping your battery topped up when needed.

Durability and Longevity Quality fast charging cables are made from durable materials like nylon-braided or reinforced connectors, making them more resistant to wear and tear. At Sankarani Communication, we offer cables that are designed to last, providing better value for your money.

Enhanced Safety Fast charging cables come with built-in safety features like overcurrent, overvoltage, and short circuit protection. These features help prevent overheating and protect your device from potential damage during charging.

Universal Use Fast charging cables are compatible with a variety of devices beyond just smartphones. You can use them to charge tablets, laptops, and other gadgets that support fast charging, making them a versatile solution for all your charging needs.

Factors to Consider When Buying a Fast Charging Cable

When shopping for a fast charging cable at Sankarani Communication, keep the following factors in mind to ensure you get the best product:

Cable Length: Choose a length that fits your needs, whether it’s for home, office, or car use. Long cables are great for convenience, while shorter ones are ideal for portability.

Charging Speed: Ensure the cable supports the charging speed compatible with your device. Look for cables that offer up to 3A or higher for optimal fast charging performance.

Connector Type: Depending on your phone, you may need a USB-C, Lightning, or Micro-USB connector. USB-C is becoming the standard for most modern smartphones, while Lightning is specific to Apple devices.

Brand and Warranty: At Sankarani Communication, we provide high-quality, branded fast charging cables with warranty options for peace of mind.

Conclusion

A fast charging cable is more than just an accessory; it’s a necessity in today’s world where staying connected is vital. Whether you're looking to reduce charging times, enhance your smartphone's performance, or protect your device, a fast charging cable from Sankarani Communication is the solution you need. By investing in a reliable and durable fast charging cable, you'll experience the convenience of faster charging times, enhanced safety features, and long-lasting performance.

From Biting Apples to Embracing Galaxies: My Switch to Samsung

For more than a decade, I've always been using the Apple eco-system. My first modern phone was the iPhone 5 in 2012 and it lasted for a couple of years until I upgraded to the iPhone 10 in 2017 after convincing my father that my phone was dying.

The proof: this photo of my phone bricking every 20 minutes when installing a new iOS when I was in university.

A post shared by Erielle Sudario (@eriellesudario)

As time passed, the iPhone X has survived numerous trips overseas, journalism jobs, freelancing gigs, concerts, and dating attempts. But like all tech devices, this one is about to reach its end after an incident where it wouldn't turn on properly when it was being charged.

I had two options: wait for the iPhone 15 to come out or move to Samsung. And based on the article, it's quite obvious what happened next.

One last bite of the Apple - why I love the iPhone

Moving to a Galaxy device has to be the hardest decision I've ever made. My original plan was to save $2000 for a brand new Apple product because the Apple ecosystem is pretty good. I can copy a link or photo on my phone and paste it on my Macbook. Airdrop is pretty convenient. Also, my entire family became Apple snobs ever since the release of Airpods. Also, since I moved out from home, Facetime became the most used method of communication between family members because it was instant.

Another cool feature that the iPhone has is that is very easy to customize. From having an Animal Crossing dark mode theme phone to selecting a case, the choices are ripe for the picking.

Lastly, it's just very easy to use. Unless you're planning to do some complicated stuff like jailbreaking, using an iPhone as an everyday device is very simple. Left it somewhere? Use the "Find my phone" app and annoy the heck out of those who try to steal it. Want music? Drop the file into iTunes and it will sync via iCloud. It's that versatile.

But as my phone was quickly on its final breath, as well as the cost of living crisis, waiting for the iPhone 15 was no longer a valid option anymore. So I had to say goodbye to these nifty features and swap to Samsung.

What it was like making the switch

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Erielle Sudario (@eriellesudario)

I bought the Samsung zFlip 4 during the End of the Financial Year sale, without realising that the zFlip 5 would be released 2 months later. Big oof. The reason I got this phone is because the 512 GB model cost $1300 AUD. The case was $10 from Telstra. I got a cuter one for $100 from Caseify.

If I were to buy the iPhone 15 (or in my case, the iPhone 14 Pro), the 512 GB model would have cost me $2400 + the cost of a case and the cable for the highest speeds. In case you were unaware, the 15 models only come with USB 2 speeds. WTF?! Also, there are the MagSafe accessories like chargers, which would cost even more.

The reason I chose to get the Samsung zFlip 4 is mostly because it's a flip phone and Samsung marketed it as "bending the laws of physics." Another reason is because of BTS. As a BTS fan, mostly a Suga stan, I learned that the K-Pop star will not hold Apple devices. I remember seeing a TikTok where a fan disguised her iPhone to look like a Samsung and the rapper was shocked until he held it on stage.

I was, however, warned about getting this Samsung model from my aunt. She told me that the battery life is bad and that Apple lasts longer. And she only uses her phone for the most basic usage - calls, text, and Facebook. But based on my experience, the battery isn't that bad… unless I use it for Pokemon Sleep.

Transferring my data from an Apple to a Samsung device is easier said than done. For starters, it nearly took a whole day for the transfer process to be completed. Second, I needed to use a wireless charger for one of my devices because it took so long.

When it came to the user interface, while it's somewhat different, some similarities made using my new phone not that difficult. It perhaps took a week to get used to the new functions and gestures.

I also liked the new camera. It's much more vibrant in my opinion. Much better than the iPhone X if I'm being honest. And there were times I did try filming like it was an old camcorder due to its flip functionalities.

If I have a complaint, it's that my game saves (except for Pokemon Go and Sleep) aren't transferable. This means all that effort I've placed in Tiny Tower for a year and a bit is gone and I would need to start over because the game is synced to Apple's Game Center. However, all of my texts since my senior year of high school made their way to the new device. WTF?

Also, not all the apps transferred to the new device, which makes sense since some of them were discontinued. But finding the APKs for them became a challenge, especially for a photo editor that I've been using for years. Thanks to the subscription model, it's been removed from the app stores.

Final Thoughts

Swapping to Samsung was probably a good decision to make. For starters, I'm no longer bombarded by my family's group chat messages since I no longer live with them. Second, I can text my boyfriend photos through NORMAL TEXT, not Facebook and discord. The amount of memes I've missed during the earlier parts of our relationship due to device differences was a massive pain and now it's all convenient.

While it's a shame I no longer have access to Siri, adding songs to a Samsung device is much easier compared to Apple since it is basically like a hard drive.

I will miss the Apple ecosystem though. iCloud and Apple Notes are super handy. Airdrop is pretty cool. And the new iOS features in the latest system look super appealing. However, these features are something that I would rarely use. I just need a phone to play games, go on social media, take photos and videos, and make phone calls. I won't be making 3D models of my room.

Looking forward to spending the next 5 years with this Samsung device until I have to make the switch once more.

Can anyone explain to me exactly how my Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) is still functioning in any way? The battery is completely shagged, babeyy, it cannot survive more than 10 mins max outside of the charger, the screen has a gorgeous array of spiderweb cracks and rorschach inkblot dead pixel splots, none of which have bothered the actual touchscreen sensitivity, occasionally it forgets what it was doing and restarts any app that is unlucky enough to be actuve at the time, and it will gleefully murder any charging cable I plug into it within 2 weeks. I can SMELL the battery when I bring it anywhere near my face, which is not a new state of affairs. And yet it will still run this app??? My phone is a sadomasochistic fuck that wishes nothing but suffering in the most general and inclusive terms possible (I love it).

as someone who hasn't bought a new phone for almost 5 years, the charging speed of new phones these days unless you specifically buy a "fast charger" is abysmal. wdym this new samsung takes 4 hours to charge 40% with the charger included in the box? and the cable they give you isn't even a USB so you need to buy specific accessories to be able to use it at most places.
