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.

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.

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.

You must be annoyed A LOT these days. It seems that spending a lot of money on nothing is the latest trend for these people.

Isn’t it also more prone to violently explode under appropriate management?

Ultimately, this could highlight the incredibly high value of wikipedia as a common ressource, and might lead to better things there.

Maybe.

What’s the size of the rock you’ve been living under in the past 10 months or so?

I doubt any govt. member anywhere did any actual research about tylenol or autism, because if they did there would not have been any large scale announcement about false reports, and no lawsuit.

they did the research and safety testing on it

You’re missing the largest air quotes of the year here.

Best best thing is to have fucking human oversight over a machine telling us something.

Sure, having (supposedly) unbiased model running without third-party opaque interference is great, but LLM will always be statistical machines, by design. Nothing it does have value if it’s not checked by something that’s smart enough, and aside from deterministic outcomes we can express with pure logic, that requires a human.

You can feel the smart in these.

I really want this to be true, because not only I believe that would be the immediate outcome, but also because it would be hilarious.

But a somewhat credible source that’s not wrapped in “allegedly” and old stories would really help drive the point home.

Automation with a lot of validation steps that are not very obvious. Because if they were, we’d have automated them away.

I honestly don’t mind as long as it’s down with permission

From Microsoft “fuck you now all your files are on onedrive”, sure, they can be trusted. After all, it’s not like microsoft “I’m wiping this bootloader for you” have done anything shady before. Microsoft “I’ll revert those default apps settings because you clearly wanted edge when you changed everything to firefox/chrome” is THE company that respects user decisions. Microsoft “I’ll update and reboot now, fuck you” really knows how to stay in line and not do the opposite of what users want.

Really, what could go wrong in believing that Microsoft “I shit you not, you want to open that link in edge even though you uninstalled it” will respect the end-looser checking or unchecking a checkbox.

First day using a microsoft product? Checkbox magically checking themselves is as old as my first baby wee windows update.

Their problem is that they were slower than some, their solution is half baked at best, and it’s prohibitively expensive

Sounds like a lot of company these days.

I was pondering about updating that dying w10 partition, just in case. Well, looks like someone else put the final nail in that coffin for me.
