    This sounds like the battery and the charger’s problem to handle, not mine.

    All this tech, all this automation for every damn thing, and people keep coming at me like I’m supposed to do everything manually with my fingers and eyes and maybe an alarm or something to keep me on schedule. No. Stop it.

    Make the charger handle it, or shut up. Make the phone, the charger, and the battery handle it together, you know, with digital automation. Do not even mention it to me.

      Samsung phones have the capability to do this. There’s a setting you can set to only charge to 80%. It looks like they mention that in the article.

      Android phones in general have something called Adaptive Charging that attunes to when you normally need a full charge. For instance if you are charging at night while you’re sleeping it will charge slower than it would during the day to improve battery health.

      Your device manufacturer has designed it to break in as many ways as possible so you have to buy a new one.

      Why do you think everyone switched to non-removable batteries?

      If you don’t take responsibility for your device, you are just like the people that think not owning your own hardware is fine.

        Well the purported reasoning is that less shielding is required. Seems plausible but IDK how true. I assume it’s partly true.

          Some day you will learn that nearly every justification made by corporations like this is bullshit.

          But I bet they’re glad you continue to spread it so loyally.

            Whatever mate.

            My comment acknowledges that it’s a dubious claim. I’d hardly call that spreading nonsense loyally.

              Let the corps fuck you for a few more decades and you’ll be jaded like me.

              More probably because the fucking bloodsuckers are getting better at it.
