Everybody knows that this is yet another distraction, but how fragile are they ready to look like. They feel threatened by a text font and some numbers these days.

Well, I can see some use cases. But they’re usually not pointed down in the bowl.

Storage space, ensuring quality settings, supporting more device than “your tv”, smaller bandwidth requirements.

What, you think parents should watch over their kid and provide them interaction? What is this, year 1200?

I’ll never put foot on that hellhole again, but it would be funny if this was something he posted on twitter and grok showed up to “correct” him.

Yes, but under the promise that you won’t be under any kind of protection if it happens again in a few years.

Plot twist: they can, and will, do it even if you opt out. The only thing that change is that you won’t get anything out of it. Not that it would have been a significant return to begin with.

I was being generous. For some reasons, when I try voice recognition it triggers as if I’m speaking Japanese. And when I actually try to speak Japanese, I get english gibberish.

Hey, when I have Iron man Jarvis-like chatting me up, running locally, and never ever messing anything up, I’ll be impressed.

So far I have semi-competent voice transcription, borked understanding, incorrect action 4/5 of the time, underwhelming, if not broken output, and most of the time this bad version is dependent on a datacenter that’s aiming at obliterating a star worth of power every two hours.

I WONDER why this is not seen as impressive.

Not only it is actually happening, it’s actually well researched and mathematically proven.

No need. As I said, it’s still here, in plain view, for people to see. When you see someone harming someone else, your blame goes to some movie instead of to the people involved. You’ve been very adamant about that.

Lol. You’re aware that the whole discussion remain available for all to see? Ignoring things won’t change anything.

Who’s doing the asking there? Neither my laptop nor my phones asked anything.

According to the settings on my current phone, the automatic setting will decide by itself to limit the maximum charge overnight, then plan to go full charge around the time my alarm should fire.

But, again, that’s the kind of micromanagement that would yield a tiny fraction of “maybe improvement” over the lifetime of the damn thing. I’d rather have a device works all the time for 6 years than have a device that’s sometime undercharged for 6.1 years.

And you’re getting it.

Wow, not addressing any single issue raised and citing people in derogatory ways. You sure made your point clear. I’m sure you’re the man in every party you would go.

Nah, I can’t be bothered by that. And the only device’s battery I really had issues with was a seven years old laptop, years ago. BMS and software will almost always know better than the user these days.

Murder is illegal. Would you advocate against murder in movie? Guess not, uh?

Let’s make choking people illegal… wait, that’s already the case. At least I hope it is. Would you advocate against choking in movies? Yes?

Nice double standards you got. YOU outed yourself as someone that’s ok with censoring things that don’t relate to them, on the flimsiest of pretense, without actually caring about actual people involved. You just want something you dislike to disappear, and use imaginary justification.

If you were advocating to protect victims? Sure. If I was saying “nah, choke women away!” then sure, I’d be wrong. I’m saying banning something will not change anything. And you’re hell-bent on banning things.

Unless you’re born yesterday, it is transparent that such laws are rarely, if ever, about protecting anyone. It’s about setting up a mechanism to arbitrarily forbid contents and idea. But, I guess you’re a-ok with that, and don’t care either about actual people that gets rolled over by this. At no point you took the side of the supposed “victims” during filming, nor the “victims” of people supposedly “inspired” by porn, that are actually not the victim of porn, but the victim of lunatics that wants to physically dominate other, did it before porn, and will continue after porn. If at a single point in time you considered these people instead of crusading for “no, choking bad, ban imagery of choking!” you’d have gotten it.

The point is that I never had to care about battery management for years. I just leave the phone doing its thing. Not that it’s useful or not useful to do so.

The whole point is that I leave that in the hand of people that know.

Just live in a microwave. Problem solved!

I hadn’t watched the video yet, but my phone’s going the opposite way. It run slow charge overnight when it feels like it’s going to be enough for it to be fully charged the next morning.

We really should let electronics and tight software take care of these little things.
