About

Hardware tester who turns late-night logs into clear, no-nonsense takeaways. Builds repeatable rigs for Qi2/MagSafe pads, stands, and 12V mounts.

Core Beliefs

Sustained, cool watts beat brief peaks.

Background

During a midnight test cycle, a '40W' pad spiked my phone to 45°C and throttled to half speed within minutes. Watching the thermal camera bloom red, I scrapped my shortlist and rebuilt it around sustained throughput, not bursts. That night cemented my rule: speed only counts when it's repeatable and cool.
