The implementation details matter less than how it affects the culture.

I think somewhat worse, but try a web search. One attraction iirc is very fast charging.

It’s just about LFP which are very common now. The new trend is sodium ion instead of lithium ion. CATL (battery manufacturer in China) is shipping those now, and they are starting to appear in some cars.

Oh you mean the discontinuation rather than the accessory itself. Meh, there is always ebay. Someone will always have an extra one left from their old phone before they upgraded to a usb-c phone.

Controversial? Unpopular I can understand, but that’s not the same.

I still prefer wired buds and chose a phone with a 3.5mm jack, but I wasn’t into Apple phones to begin with.

Now that Apple is going USB C, the lightning adapter will stop mattering, I guess.

You can pay a lot less than 10x for completed panels. https://store.santansolar.com/ amazed me.

Embrace RFC 8890 (“The Internet is for End Users”) as a guiding principle for all Mozilla client app design and for the organization as a whole:

https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8890.html

Specifically, delete item 9 from the Mozilla manifesto and replace it with “follow RFC 8890”. That’s not supposed to be an anti-business stance, but rather, a recognition that the commercial side of the internet has the resources to look after its own interests, and Mozilla should be on the user side, rather than trying to straddle both sides.

They don’t say what models but it probably doesn’t matter. It’s fine with me if my phone is basically generic. (Moto G Stylus 5g 2023).

I set up ZNC and got it working but it was a pain in the neck, took some trial and error, and the docs were confusing. Once I got it going I basically left it alone rather than try to clean up the situation.

Empirically, 42.25 instead of 42.

The interesting thing is if the manufacturer is shipping them that way by default.

I’m an antifan of Apple but the M4 Max is supposed to be faster than any x86 desktop CPU, and use a lot less power. That’s per geekbench 6. I’d be interested in seeing other measurements.

I think everyone likes to glue down batteries now because that helps the phone’s drop protection. The adhesive strips aren’t so bad since you can heat them a little / use a spudger to get the battery out. It’s worse when they make it very hard to get to the battery, or make you unglue delicate parts like the screen. You are probably right to be pessimistic though.

Check ifixit before you buy a phone, to make sure diy battery replacement is not too difficult. Then you don’t have to worry as much. Just figure on a swap or two during the phone’s lifetime.

Other than that, keep charge level between 20% and 80% as someone said. But I think in that range, it’s ok to fast charge within reason.

Supposedly starting in 2027, all phones sold in EU will have user replaceable batteries.

This is about the misdesigned power connectors on Nvidia graphics cards of a while ago. 12VHPR is 12 volt high power, a type of connector. I thought maybe it was a game.

It’s hard to understand the purpose of this. The difficulty of the project (i.e. complexity of the web) is the real problem that needs solving. We don’t need another fork of the browser-verse. We need a fork of the web itself.
