No it's just a typical smart socket and I've put my phone charger in it. (an old 1 amp charger so it is easier on the battery.) The 60% button turns the switch on for about three hours for example. (Phone has 5A battery.)
The charger is on from midday in case I forget to select a charging amount before sleeping.
You could do similar with an old fashioned rotary mechanical timer socket.
Only gripes
Camera not great
Volume jumps from moderate to loud
Leaving the camera app too soon after taking a picture in suboptimal lighting will lose the photo.
Edit: ok voyager, what did you do with my carriage returns?
I wonder if the concern is that unlocking the phone might allow you to run some form of data recovery on it and thus obtain access to some of the previous owner's info?
I miss the GPU mining days from long ago. Used to have a five old computers with potato GPUs on a time switch to do just this or folding at home as a fun experiment many years ago. It kinda worked in the earliest days but asics killed the income offset after a few months.
The old Core 2 Quad Dell with three dvb-t tuners and a few hard drives still dumps a fair bit of heat into the room.
Reminds me of when I tried to install Firefox on Ubuntu and it said it couldn't open the download as there was nothing associated with it. Ended up with another copy without an icon but it worked. Then I moved to Fedora which seemed to work as intended. Couldn't run Mint on this laptop as it boots to a black screen - presumably the wrong GPU. Daily Driver is Windows 10 by necessity.
We'll just have to chew more.
