I guess 1$ case for Smartphone or any other 1$ crap Nobody needs…

Maybe, they are just more competent and their secret operations stay more secret

Exactly, making it possible for admins (parents) to set up systems with rules based on age for their many children

Ok?

“right to root” would prevent so much eWaste.
I would love a variant that is like, if you stop delivering security and minor fixes/backports to a device, you have to give access to root or better even to the bootloader.

For me, it was around 2013 an iPad nano, thinking how awesome having an iPhone with unlimited internet would be, because I could listen anything on demand on the go Then I got my 4s as first self bought iPhone.
I realised, how macOS like it is, as I had jailbroken it.

Indeed completely forgot those…

Personally I don’t connect opiates not with rich folks, but that may be regional and due to my age

Drugs =/= Drugs

But it kinda makes sense with coke and K…

Other drugs are either not that addictive / live destroying ( thinking MD/Acid) or too cheap low quality drugs (meth etc.) that don’t fit into the rich kid setting.

Of course MD and acid can have their place in the story, but I would concentrate on coke and K for realism.

Japan lost approximately US$30 billion to anime and manga piracy

How are you sure that all people who have watched through piracy would have bought it? Maybe they would sell even less without the hype generated by piracy watchers talking about the show…

Eternal life 🥳

You gotta keep competition in view

1. Li-ion and LiPo batteries don’t have the mini cycle problem as much as the NiMH batteries have
2. Keeping always plugged in is terrible advice for Li-ion/LiPo batteries (except if your device is smart enough to support reducing tear on battery with intelligent charging behaviour, like not charging above 80%)
3. Li-ion absolutely dislike being fully charged and will suffer extreme tear, if you let them always be charged to 100% -> reduces max capacity and increases risk of swelling
4. this 80% labeled as 100% is mostly present on bigger batteries like car batteries, which have guarantees with min cap decrease over 5 to 10 years. Phones with guarantees of 1 or 2 years generally have near100% as 100%, as it is marketing relevant to have bigger numbers than competitors without need to offer long battery guarantees.
5. fully discharging is recommended at least some times in order to recalibrate the percentage calculation (if a charging event is without interruption from lower than x%, the battery controller is counting the watthours pumped into the battery until it reaches the point where less than x ampere charging are required to hold the desired voltage. With this counting, you can then adjust the graph used to calculate percentage of capacity still available based on the corrected (compensated for drop of voltage due to current usage) Voltage of the battery)

😁nice!

😄did you have the joy of working USB-C PD charging and dead battery with self protection and USB OTG support? (On embedded Linux 4.15)

(Plug in -> 5vSAVE due to CC pull down on default -> power negotiation -> agreement on 20v -> death of Linux due to short interupt of supply on Vbus and no power from battery because of self protection -> back to step plug in -> 5vSAVE)🤪

Slower charging is generally more healthy for the battery, but faster charging is no problem as long as heat generation while charging is kept low.

Some real terminater stuff…

Yess, nobody would engage in war without propaganda

Haha, America is just as worrisome. Nearly 50% is so missinformed, uneducated and therefore feared, that they got where they are now…

So sad to see this, after such liberation of information due to the internet, itself was the demise of knowing the truth

Tldr: Bluetooth isn’t entirely the problem. The problem is manufacturers who don’t add privacy features like rotating identifiers into their Bluetooth enabled devices. Many smartphones are doing this these days.

E.g. modern non-cheap devices (iphone, pixel, general higher level android, airpods, apple watches, other modern headphones etc.) have those, and are not really track able like this.
