Why do people care about how phone looks or how thin they are when they wrap it in a fort knox huge case the first time the pull it out of the box?

I've never seen a thread on this, so I thought I'd make one. The other day I got a samsung wireless charger, although mine's white unlike pic related. It was $49CAD at a small town shop (I broke my charger port and had to get one).

Its honestly kind of mediocre. The phone has to be almost completely centered on it, it takes like 2-ish hours to charge from dead to full, whereas the fast charger that came with the phone took 30min and I get the feeling judging by the weight that a lot of it is just empty plastic, which makes it kind of shitty to carry around in your pocket. I bet they could make it the size of a credit card and it would work just as well. Its kind of convenient I guess, and I'll probably use it with my next phone while I'm sleeping or whatever, but for on-the-go I doubt I'll bring it with me anywhere.

Are there any improvements, break throughs or even research into this field? The concept of wireless power fascinates me, but it seems kind of practically useless at this point, when things have to be right on top of the charger and not, say, within 5 feet or something.

Ok, so I unboxed and plugged in my Blue Yeti Pro for the first time today, and it's not picking up any sound, regardless of settings.

The power is on, I installed the official driver (on W10) and the system recognizes it, it's not muted, but when I try to record all I get is silence (or occasionally distorted buzzing noise when i increase the gain and talk directly into it).

I tried restarting the PC, reinstalling drivers, using different USB slots, three different mini USB cables, on two different PCs, and nothing helps. When I plugged in earbuds at the bottom to listen to it, I could hear the buzzing and crackling noise a lot clearer, but otherwise no difference. It reacts to sound, but not the way it should.

At this point I'm pretty sure the unit is defective, but sadly I ordered it online over 6 months ago so I can't return or exchange it. I'm still hoping it's a problem with the USB port, and not the mic itself, but I can't test the XLR connector until I get my mixer board later this month.

Anyone had a similar issue? Any ideas? Please tell me I'm not stuck with a $250 paperweight lol.

Theoretically, If I was to have a clone of a device with all identical software and hardware and had matching SIM cards inside, what would happen if I was to call myself?
Would the other phone ring or are phones/SIM card pre-programmed not to be able and will automatically send you to your voicemail box options?
Would the same thing happen with text messages? (My theory is that text messages would work but phone calls wouldn't, but I can't get concrete evidence to back up my claim.)

P.S. I am only talking about cellphones, not home phones.

/pcbg/: Post your component list; rate other anons'; ask questions in general.

State the PURPOSE of your PC & BUDGET. State COUNTRY if not USA.
List GAMES/SOFTWARE you use often. List resolution & hz if gaming.
Seeking build improvements? Clarify if goal is to lower price or improve specs.
Put effort into your queries to make yourself easy to help.

>Assemble your parts list with price comparisons & compatibility filter.
https://pcpartpicker.com

>Information on how to assemble a PC, select components & more. (somewhat outdated)
https://wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php/Build_a_PC

Currently worthwhile CPUs:
>G4560 for budget builds (<$500) unless G4620 is discounted over 25%
>i3, i5, and R7 aren't worthwhile for regular consumers. Get Ryzen 5, drop down to G4560, or up to i7
>No R5 1400 unless super cheap on sale
>i7-7700k is good but pricey. If over budget, consider 6700k and/or a locked motherboard + cheaper cooler; not chasing 4.8Ghz capable when you weren't gonna overclock - or get Ryzen 5
>R7/Xeon for compute/multitask/mixed use

Currently worthwhile GFX cards:
>RX470 8GB, RX480 8GB, 1070, 1080, 1080TI
>1060 is worth considering over a 480 if same/cheaper in your country, or you just play games, it's better on for the price. 1050Ti is for mITX builds
>Budget builds: consider integrated graphics over any card weaker than an RX470, unless another's price/performance is better (ie discounted/used)
>Vega comes in May

General:
>Don't feel bound to a specific brand/model. Parametric filters on pcpartpicker can help here
>Consider SSD only for what you budgeted on SSD+HDD combined. Add HDD later once needed
>NVMe aren't worth it just for faster OS boot. They're primarily for quicker loading/saving of files for productivity
>Save money with mATX case/mobo, and if patient by purchasing your parts individually in flash sales
