i plugged it into my lamp

[niko@gts.niko.lgbt]

@ari this requires a chip to negotiate with the phone to even show up ​

[hopelessdemigod@mstdn.social]

@ari

Are you serious?

[openess@skrivel.se]

@ari what kind of lamp is that?

[rwrv@critter.cafe]

@ari im sorry??

[ari@fedi.arimelody.space]

@openess the same lamp that's lit my room and charged my phone for years!

[ari@fedi.arimelody.space]

@HopelessDemigod quite! i'm still not entirely sure why this happened

[ari@fedi.arimelody.space]

@niko this chip must have laid dormant for many years LOL

[ari@fedi.arimelody.space]

@rwrv it's okay i forgive you

[sodiboo@gaysex.cloud]

@ari@fedi.arimelody.space @rwrv@critter.cafe I don't. sorry. this is irredeemable. once a light source always a light source

[sodiboo@gaysex.cloud]

@ari@fedi.arimelody.space @rwrv@critter.cafe how dare you brighten my day

[openess@skrivel.se]

@ari When I tell people many things they don't think are computers are actually computers this is the kind of funny thing phones will think are computers

[Gæst]

@ari This is why I'm turbo strict about what I'll plug anything in to to charge. Can't trust shit these days. I don't even trust other people's normal ass chargers.

[tidest@fishpost.trade]

@prettygood @ari wireless chargers are clearly the only safe option anymore /hj
nothing but good old induction based charging

@ari macOS could connect to an iOS device and initiate a backup via WiFi, but that has to be set up on the mac first

this is spooky

[ari@fedi.arimelody.space]

@kuriko (i did set this up and this is likely what occurred)

[violetpixel@corteximplant.net]

@ari

Ah! Technology.

@ari Your lamp is possessed by the spirit of a ZX Spectrum.

[mms@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@ari You mean lamp-like Macintosh?

[magnetic_tape@infosec.exchange]

@ari
Could you share your lamp brand and model (even in private)? I'd gladly do a full teardown and analysis of one
