From old thread:

Does adAway do more than blokada/dns66? I assume so because it has root access. But if it doesn't do anything more than blokada/dns66 then I don't really wanna go through the trouble of rooting it.

is ricing still a thing Jow Forums does?

What are some good power banks?

Anker powerbanks are god tier

seconded. My Anker powerbank may weigh as much as a brick but it's good for like 9001 full charges of my phone and has quick charging so it charges in 30 minutes.

Why is my usage time capped at 16h at 100%, despite how slightly i use the phone? rn5 global

Question:
Can bad charging cables lead to burning/fire even if the charger is fine (original one that came with phone or an Anker charger)?

I'm thinking about buying these bad boys. I don't mind if they turn out to be generally shit, like they all stop working after 3 months. Whatever it's only $16. But obviously a fire hazard is a different matter.

Yes, if the current is too much for the actual amount of copper that's in the cable, it can definitely lead to a fire
I melted a cheap set of jumper cables that way, also their used to be stories of cheap lightning cables/usb c cables destroying charging ports and catching fire
But remember, high price doesn't necessarily equate to high quality

Thanks.
I guess I'll give them a miss then.
I bought some no-name Chinese cables in the past. A 3-pack of 6ft cables. 2 of them stopped working in a couple of months, and 1 if I used my phone while it was charging would cause the phone to suddenly restart. Threw them away obviously. No fire problems but maybe I didn't have them long enough.
Then I bought a 2-pack of 6ft Anker cables. Absolutely no problems, still working. Well-built and I have no special reason to worry about fire.

I was attracted to these 'Volutz' cables primarily because of the 10ft one. I have an awakward setup in one of my rooms at home and a 10ft cable would be handy right now. The 4 other cables would be a bonus, especially at such a low price. But fuck it, if fire risk is a possibility just form the cables then it's not worth the risk. I'll just buy a single overpriced Anker 10ft cable. Safety first, niggas.
