80% is 80%, there’s no “80% that will last a lot longer”

The Deck automatically stops charging and let’s the battery drain to around 95% when plugged in anyway.

There’s absolutely no way a setting buried in a menu is designed to be constantly enabled and disabled based on when you’re using the device docked or not.

Otherwise, the toggle would exist in the quick access menu.

That’s also not how it works on laptops that offer it, so I doubt the idea is having users constantly toggling it.

No, I’m referring to the fact that unplugging early to avoid decreasing the battery health and therefore capacity makes no sense… Because you’re decreasing the battery capacity by only using 80% of it’s charge

The logic is deeply flawed though.

Keep your battery at 80% to preserve it’s health, because Lithium batteries prefer that. Sure. But here’s what it effectively means:

Keep your battery forever stuck at 80%… to avoid losing battery capacity… so to avoid having less battery runtime you limit your battery runtime… Thus suffering today the consequences you feared in the future.

While what you said is true, you’re neglecting that it’s not entirely based on selfish ideations.

There are people selling courses and profiting heavily from tricking those people into thinking that these strategies work. They pretend they’ve won cases like this, that the loopholes are real, that many people are singing them praises. The failed attempts are just “the loud minority that screwed up the process”.

If only “regret and growth” could rebuild the environment, bring back the years people spent falsely imprisoned, bring people back from the dead…

Around the same as the Steam Deck when portable, but with access to significantly better upscaling.

Such a shame FSR looks so terrible, the Steam Deck would otherwise hold up much better against it.

I’m still not going to buy one and only use my Deck though.

As an AI comment analysis engineer I’m 74% certain the above comment is not written by AI.

As I biologist I’d like to correct your sentence: “iPhones can take a picture and pretend to sometimes manage to get close to identifying a plant”

I mean, the game is in early access so if you bought it and are now complaining it changed… It’s a you problem, not something that should be refundable.

Eh… What? Not really.

And who the fuck cares if their industrial controller is getting the latest update of Arch Linux? If you have such an important industrial controller that you haven’t replaced it in decades, you’re not running the latest kernel anyway.

And yet they still haven’t managed to get enough people to pay the subscription costs, except the guys trying to package it as a SaaS and hoping the customers don’t notice they’re just a fancy middleman.

They can scale up training all they want, there’s a natural price point most customers won’t go over. And if you’re thinking about businesses paying that extra cost because they can save money on actual workers… Sure, for a few months, and then they realize what happens when they leave their super intelligent AI agents alone for a few weeks and a website changes the default layout, breaking the entire workflow, or when an important client receives an absurd automated email, or when their AI note taker and financial planning agent is incapable of answering why $20000 disappeared.

I think a little thing called the iPhone App Store and the multi-billion dollar industry it spawned very much disagrees with you.

The amount of gamers is orders of magnitude bigger today, many of these gamers are adults with their own income, and the tools to build the games are more abundant.

So if you’re selling to more people, of course it makes sense to have the same price as games had decades ago. And if these companies disagree with me… Sure, agree to disagree, I’ll purchase your game at 75% off on Steam three years from now. Maybe I won’t purchase it at all and enjoy it anyway.

We have several scientific articles being published and later found to have been generated via AI.

If somebody is willing to ruin their academic reputation, something that takes years to build, don’t you think people are also using AI to cheat at a job interview and land a high paying IT job?
