Theoretically no, they want people to ignore those built-in sponsorships, so the advertisers go straight to Google's ad service

Uhhhhhh no

Right right, nobody said it was. Just an example of what it could do, but nobody says that was all it could do

Church is meaningless if it's not provided at a useful voltage though. What people truly care about is usable energy, which is what Watt-hours or Joules tell us. For example, I don't care if my portable battery pack is 1000 milliamp hours, it's meaningless unless I also know The battery chemistry used (nominal voltage) and the number of cells so I can figure out the actual potential energy.

Also, as a phone's battery ages, if I'm not mistaken it truly does hold less "charge", but I still believe the more useful metric is actual energy stored. That's how it's done in the EV scene, you use kWh to see how much energy is left in your battery. As the battery ages, "100%" represents slightly lesser energy (kWh)

I don't find that to be a particularly compelling argument though. If you go to buy a lead acid battery for solar usage, for example, they give you the capacity based on a 20-hour discharge (or, 1/20th C rate). The same could absolutely be done for primary batteries

They both tell the same story, but one requires extra information you don't have. You don't say that the latest i3 pulls 6 Amps, you say it pulls 65 Watts. Also the voltage does change as the battery discharges, that's why you use the nominal voltage of the pack. mAh is also not a current

Same as previous models, it's an antenna gap (for mmWave I believe)

The fall isn't really the issue, you would probably be injured but not dead. That is, unless traffic is moving at 70 mph beneath you, in which case you're almost guaranteed to not only immediately die, but forever traumatize potentially dozens of drivers. I would say the value of stopping traffic is pretty high, and the trucks probably stopped before the police were ever even called if I had to guess Edit: clarity

SwitchBot makes a retrofit deadbolt controller that straps onto the inside

I mean you can, but iPhones and some Android devices are the only common devices but I'm aware of that have fast pairing. Your Nintendo switch isn't capable of having such a fast pairing pop-up

Same here, I'm in my early/mid 20s and still see almost all of my high school friends multiple times per month. Plus we play games on Discord at least once or twice a week. I moved about a half hour out from town a few years back, which is probably the only reason we don't see you each other even more often

GrapheneOS is also another good option - I've been running it for 6+ months so far and I'm loving it! The only downside I can think of is the lack of Android Auto support, although that's never been a thing that I've used

Actually this is pretty wild to me, when did this come about?

They are slower, produce more heat, and waste more energy. Not to mention the fact that you're actually more constrained on where you put the phone, you can't pick it up to use it while it continues charging. Wireless charging is worse than almost every way, save for the magsafe mounting system they developed. I'll give them credit, that's pretty handy, but in general I don't understand this push for wireless charging

I've actually been thinking about doing this, though I think it would be even better if there was a smart USB socket that could adjust the power output on the fly. For example, you could program a custom charging curve to have full speed charging until 50%, 10 Watts until your desired battery level. For now I guess the smart switch idea is better than nothing

Now I'm wondering if it'll surpass the PS2 in lifetime sales...

Underrated comment right here lol

Samsung's SmartThings tracker is apparently just as good, strangely enough

I run Proxmox which is based on Debian, no issues for over a year now!

Almost every other app has those features, absolutely. And that wouldn't be a problem if Apple didn't prevent them from feeling like first-class apps, or they adopted RCS
