Due to some ancient meme I can only see this gif with MGS alert music in my head.
Now that's husband-attracting outfit!
Dang, you're still posting? I haven't seen these for months.
Probably because I rarely scroll below 100 upvotes on Top...
What's the origin of that background? I've seen it on a couple of posts lately.
He will also never attract a husband.
I saw list item 1 more as "I want my phone to last for 5+ years, so I will want to replace my battery eventually", rather than "I wanna wreck my battery fast, so it better be replaceable". Being wasteful with your battery like that goes against the spirit of Fairphone, IMO.
2.5 years isn't that long to evaluate battery degradation IMO, and as you said, you mostly don't even push your battery that hard. And the article even seems to imply that faster charging does impact battery life, it's just that manufacturers consider 100w a sweet-spot between charging speed and battery degradation.
Surely, that impacts the battery longevity, right? Personally, I disable all fast-charging features and charge my phone overnight.
P.S. Sorry for calling you Shirley.
Why do you need 120 watts charging for a phone? Most laptops don't even support 100w.
For sure, taking control away from the users is terrible and scummy, but I think it's an entirely different issue, covered by "right to repair". A very small amount of people had the know how and the confidence to perform the repairs themselves even before this anti consumer practices became so widespread, so I don't think it's a huge factor in decrease of skill. I would say a much bigger factor is the fact that technology has become exponentially more complex. You can't just open up a radio and replace a vacuum tube, everything is a microchip now, and the soldering iron isn't gonna help much there. I guess eventually we will reach technology complexity and abstraction of such a level that no single person can hold the knowledge to "fix" it on their own.
If you play on a relatively borderless board you go for a string of 5 x or o, not 3.
