allisonmy iphone insists on telling me that if i'm charging from my laptop's USB-A port, I'm using a "slow charger." i dunno, keep your opinions to yourself man. maybe you're just bad at charging, did you think of that. "waaaah i'm only getting 500mA" entitled little asshole

Cassandrich@nazokiyoubinbou @catsalad @aparrish That's gotta just be a garbage quality product, because you should be able to produce well over 10W cranking a proper dynamo by hand, plenty for a "fast charge".
LisPi@dalias @nazokiyoubinbou @catsalad @aparrish The good ones are also very expensive here.
As in "it's much cheaper to buy a foldable solar panel charger" expensive.

@lispi314 @aparrish @catsalad @nazokiyoubinbou Used 3D printer stepper: $0-2. Rectifier diodes: Maybe $1? Capacitor: a few cents. USB PD module with integrated buck-boost: $5. Gearing: a few cents. Plastic housing: a few cents.

I love that you assume we have a 3D printer already to install that in... Those few dollars/cents suddenly becomes several hundred... And what if we don't really have the know-how to actually modify and use one?
It would be cheaper just to buy one of these things than to try to make one that will fall apart after three uses.

I think the assumption was more healthy used electronics components market available locally.
