  • Get a 12V inverter and a normal 120V AC fast charging adapter. It seems silly to turn DC into AC then back into DC, but it’s totally worth it when you need a lot of charge fast.

    There are 12V inverters that plug into cigarette lighter ports. Some use a wire, and some just stick out of the port.

    You can also get “fast” charging USB ports that stick in your cigarette lighter, but they are never as good as a proper charging adapter. Maybe nowadays you can find a real fast charging one now that USB-C fast charging standards are a thing. I haven’t shopped for one in a long time.


















  • Nice try NSA.

    You don’t even know what you’re talking about. Security features of Intel chips? The encryption happens on each phone. Phones don’t have Intel chips on them. The server is only a relay. The encryption algorithm is open source and security experts say it’s good encryption. The code is right in the APK and anyone can look at it.

    There is no way for me as a user to see who your contacts are by using Signal. Obviously, since it uses phone numbers and not accounts, the people operating the server know who you are messaging. But other users have no idea.

    NSA Cloud Servers? I highly doubt that. Using a packet sniffer it’s easy to see which IPs your phone is talking to. I doubt an of them are “NSA cloud servers”. Once your encrypted packets are sent, though, it’s impossible to know how they are routed before they go to your recipient. I assume the government knows exactly who I message, and I don’t care about that. It’s friends and family. If you care about that, then don’t use it.

    Get your facts right if you want to be an anti-Signal advocate because right now you just sound like a lunatic.
