Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for December 02, 2022

That’s not the best use of your time, Horace; go surf the ’Net while your phone is charging.

Proof that there’s no such thing as ‘wireless’…

As soon as I read this comic, I checked the battery level of my tablet

Our devices have us well trained

Horace must have just upgraded to iOS 16 too! My iPhone X used to last all day with iOS 14, but since the upgrade, I’m charging up again around noon. Bad Apple!

“Just like” the “good old days”.

And the new-fangled cord doesn’t even stretch as far.

obviously, Horace charging his head wirelessly…!

…and in conclusion, we are still tied the wire!

Fortunately, there are “lipstick”-shaped rechargeable batteries. You can put one in your shirt pocket and charge your phone without being “tethered” by the charging cable.

Horace should have his phone checked. It should show “charging” or this conversation will soon be over. :)

What goes around, comes around.

The sad thing is, I’ve been there.

One time I let the battery run down too low, so I plugged into a portable charger. It wasn’t fast enough to charge the device while I was using it, so I was out of luck.

I’m positive I have seen this particular DSotH before. My part in The Simulation must have been reboot.

Charge cords are not for talking,

Power banks were invented to solve problems like that.

Plus ça change…
