high speed charging is a separate issue to charge voltage.
I don't have data at hand, but it is generally easier on lithium ion batteries to charge (and discharge) slower. I believe compared to charge voltage, that is a relatively small effect assuming the product is designed for it and manages things like heat. In a product where heat is poorly managed and builds up during slow charging, all bets are off I suppose
charge voltage on the other hand has a well studied effect on battery longevity. reducing the max charge voltage (or increasing the minimum discharge voltage), can extend the number of cycles the battery will last without degrading in a huge way, more than doubling cycle count (depending on where those limits are set, ofc.
Yeah its honestly an affront to language and words how this concept has shaken out... as political action of any kind and caring about things have become so demonized
What she's saying is "I'm one of the normal ones, I'm just like you, I'm not political"
Some parts hide it better than others but the US is a deeply fascist society
they can't do the opposite (edit: well, besides derating the battery up front, but they would never do that since it would tarnish their spec sheet/marketing claims), since from the factory it is pushing the rated voltage of the battery to the max at 100% SoC, they can't push it past the physical limitations of the battery chemistry and construction
If I wanted to be overly generous, it's not untrue that this is a way for google to still advertise X hours of use on a single charge, but also extend battery lifetime for the average person who doesn't get into the settings and fiddle with things.
But this is a flawed approach. There's nothing special about the first 200 cycles, if you want to extend the lifetime of your battery, just keep the cycles between 20 and 80%, don't over or under charge, and it will last years longer. I think they already have the setting to limit charging like that.
but depending on how it's implemented it may end up having the apple-esque effect of purposefully degrading the experience of older devices to push people to upgrade. And making it mandatory and invisible to the user is just malicious
yeah. felt like an attempt to "call their bluff" as if they were bluffing about hating her. Did she genuinely think if she seemed normal-christian-white-girl enough they wouldn't touch her? Or maybe that part about "I know that you won't arrest me" was just the catholicism talking and she actually understood she would probably be arrested. She did seem to have some idea of the risks. Still a needless stunt, I can't imagine this getting through to many people :(
It's crossed over into more annoying than fun, but I've gotten some enjoyment out of it occasionally in the past. Not this year really
No one - here - ever mentions - this - aspect
In all seriousness I actually see almost nobody being like "haha what a loser he had to sweep the streets". I guess I just assumed everyone here knew his story already, it's been posted probably half a dozen times or more over the years and is referenced regularly. But its such a good story I don't mind seeing it crop up again. The anecdotes about him and his wife in this post actually made me tear up a little.
yeahhhh. I wish I had a copy of that michael brooks show video now (at some point the next year or so they privated it, and now it appears to be fully deleted) because the quacks are very good at tailoring their message to the audience, it's not just an ignorant right-winger phenomenon
It's wild that this grift is still going. I almost went down that rabbithole at the beginning of the pandemic when the quacks pushing it got on some left-wing shows (even michael brooks... RIP) and there was limited evidence to go on, but then the evidence completely failed to appear, and everyone pushing it insisted it was a miracle drug for everything from cancer to covid and I felt foolish for ever giving it the benefit of the doubt
most people don't eat it on the regular
Thanks for the heads up tho! I honestly don't know or care that much about my levels so long as I don't completely throw them out of whack to a dangerous degree haha
the cbd thing is interesting too but also most of the weed you can buy is so low cbd these days I wonder how big the effect is
did not know it interfered with estrogen though that's sad. even with injections?
yeah this happened with some people I know and dogs too.
tbf tho petting a cat or playing witha dog is definitely different than having one, so maybe people just don't differentiate
well not necessarily... insulin comes in the same type of vial and uses those exact fixed needles, but slightly different risk profile yeah
the propaganda blitz for
really got to some people. I know several dems, even ones with socdem leanings, who fell for the schtick and like him, seemingly just for being young and gay and "smart" (and I guess not having as many obvious skeletons in his closet because he has no public history in politics outside of small town shit nobody cares about?)like fuck, I'm begging these people to distrust the high echelons of the PMC a bit more but they just don't get it. Its not just the politicians of the world that are the problem, its certainly not just the republicans and villain-of-the-week shitty right wing dems, it's the whole damn system and all the people complicit in it. It's a scale, sure, most middle managers aren't ideological and some are even genuinely trying to do the right thing, I don't much care about them, but conversely you also can't ascribe virtue to people just for being successful in such a sick and broken society. And the same people who (subtly or overtly) look up to/idolize professionals like lawyers and doctors and business consultants and shit love mayo pete. They may also like AOC, but I don't see them go to bat for her in the same way weirdly
