Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Sinister
Treat others like fellow employees, not enemies in the breakroom.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Respect people’s time and space. We’re here to laugh, not to loathe
Rule 2: No Prohibited Postage
Some packages are simply undeliverable. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content
- NSFW content must be properly tagged
If you see anything that violates these rules, please report it so we can return it to sender. Otherwise? Have fun, be silly, and enjoy the chaos. The office runs best when everyone’s laughing.... or retching over the stench, at least.

pro tip: use wireless charging as much as possible, even when USB is still working
not only does it make your USB port last longer, due to the lower amperage when charging wirelessly, it also helps battery longevity!
From everything I've read, wireless charging and the heat it causes harms battery longevity, not helps it.
Also it is important to know that wireless charging is much less efficient and therefore is environmentally worse than using a corded charger.
Oh yes. Wireless charging next to the bed and wireless charging quadlock in a vehicle. But mainly because my toddler likes grabbing wires.
While I've done the same with wireless charging everywhere.
Get magnetic USB cables they break off in case of a snatch.
It will save you a huge headache one day.
Then later on they use the cables to charge whatever old device you gave them. Make them responsible for charging their own devices - which would be very dangerous with a real USB connector.
Didn’t even realise that was a thing. Will look into that, cheers.
If you're looking to limit the charging speed, wouldn't it be better to limit it using software with a cable plugged in?
I can't say that I've ever felt that port longevity is a concern.
I'm not fond of wireless charging as the device is essentially useless while charging, which is not true if you have a sufficiently long cable when charging. Iirc the energy efficiency of wireless charging is also lower than by cable
