Any suggestions for a decent iPhone charger? Every one I buy from amazon goes to **** in like 3 days.

I might bite the bullet and buy the actual Amazon one

Is it the wire that's the problem and not the adapter? The Amazon one shouldn't be that much.

Have you tried zooming out?

If I knew how I did I would try lol.

Restarting the browser didn't solve it?

Nope.

Nope.

Zooming out would be Ctrl and the minus button. Or hold Ctrl and use the mouse wheel.

I meant Apple and I'm sure that's what you meant too

But yeah I'll just buy that one. Having it break in a few months is vastly superior to a few days

Actually are you on a desktop or laptop Flyguy?

Sounds like you have terrible luck with chargers.

I think the ones I buy are just terrible. 5 stars on Amazon my ass.

The Apple ones are ok until I guess the wire gets frayed inside, so I have to do that "bend the wire a certain direction so it'll charge" action

Maybe you could try just buying a new wire. I feel like the wire is the issue and not the adapter.

I don't think I have ever had to replace an iPhone charger lol. Are you, like, driving over it with your car?
The battery, on the other hand, is always a piece of total ****.

Laptop.

It's not my browser that's zoomed in. It's literally just the video playing.

My phone is f***ed because of the outlet in the phone, no matter what charger I plug into it. I have to hold it a certain way or it falls out...

Maybe clear your cookies?

Why did you drop your phone?

 

[Striiker]

Why did you drop your phone?

I didn't. I'm very careful with my things and it has a cover on it too.

 

[Chinatown88]

I didn't. I'm very careful with my things and it has a cover on it too.

Is it under warranty? That's very strange.

 

[FLYguy3911]

No help

 

[Striiker]

I assume not. It's an iPhone 6 from like 30 years ago.

 

[Chinatown88]

No help

What browser are you using Flyguy?

That sucks.

What browser are you using Flyguy?

Chrome

 

[Chinatown88]

Chrome

Does it do it in Incognito mode too?
Try disabling hardware acceleration.
Settings > Advance settings > System > Uncheck the box "Use hardware acceleration......"

I can't rationalize spending money on a console just for one or two exclusives. Any game that's on both I'd buy for Xbox.

If there’s any game worth getting a used console for, it’s the last of us.

I actually do have a PS3... maybe I should get it...

I buy a bulk pack that has 1 3’, 2 6’, and 2 10’ or something. They last about a month or two then are trash.
For a legit iPhone cord, get a pen spring and put it over the cord all the way up. It’ll at least double the lifespan.
