"Magsafe" is Apple marketing nonsense. Theyre just called magnets.
Tupper
Ziplock bag
Google it
We are surrounded by marketing lingo, the thing is if someone says magsafe to me I'll know exactly what they are talking about, but if they just say "it's held with magnets", or "it's held with a ring of magnets" it will take a bit more explanation of how the magnets are oriented, and more words to describe than just saying magsafe. You and I we don't like apple, but who cares if magsafe becomes a linguistic term for "ring of magnets that holds and charges a smart phone around the battery".
Magsafe is the marketing term for a specific layout and design of magnets for a specific purpose that is crucial to the function of the cool AF thing OP made, which you didn't bother mentioning at all...
A specific layout and design that this product doesn't even use, and isn't at all important to its operation.
It sticks to his phone via a 3rd party magsafe adapter, presumably like the one I have on my phone to mount a popsocket and shit
...you mean a magnet.
My point was, and remains, that if you're gonna comment on this dude's cool thing he made, maybe try not to be a pedantic asshat when the aforementioned dude who created the cool thing essentially calls it Loctite instead of thread locker.
You may think it's pedantic but it's not. Words matter. Especially when those words are made-up marketing bullshit for words we already have.
When someone asks you for a Kleenex you correct them or do you just hand them a tissue?
When someone asks if you have Q-Tips do you correct them?
Please don't turn this place into Reddit
These things have been this way since before I was born. Magsafe has not.
so your birth is the qualifier? lol
I'm only 3 so magsafe has been around before I was born!
This seems like a perfectly legitimate and honest question. /s
Bye troll
dude go learn CAD and stop wasting energy on being an internet-hater.
Contribute.
What makes you think I don't know CAD already?
I am contributing. I realize you disagree and are offended but thats reality.
The lack of any original designs in your post history says otherwise
So...because I don't post them on Lemmy, I don't know anything about it? That's the logic you want to go with?
