Well they’re not going with the 6x number Bari Weiss pulled out of Israel’s ass and washed it through CBS, so maybe they’re not the worst.

1·4 days agoIt’s possible that Samaung doesn’t use 100% of the battery capacity, similar to how EVs don’t. Then the cycle life can increase significantly.

1·5 days agoThat’s crazy. Not impossible though. If you have an oversized battery for your usage pattern for example, it could last long. Or if you baby it.

2·5 days agoThat’s the reason I switched to a Fairphone recently. Still evaluating it but so far so good. There should be replacement parts for many years and easy to replace.

4·5 days agoYup, aside from accidents, the battery is the main concern. It’s a wear item. Difficulty of replacement and availability of parts is the problem. If we could pop-in batteries like in the old times, you could easily run a device for 6 or more years.

Android@lemmy.world•Breaking: Google will now only release Android source code twice a yearEnglish
201·5 days agoWhile I’m plenty suspicious of Google as we all are, here’s two more trivial interpretations from software corpo perspective.
The Android OS isn’t an infinite sink of work. As systems, frameworks, libraries are developed to fill use case gaps, fewer and narrower gaps remain. Think how Windows, the OS, hasn’t changed fundamentally since Windows 8/10. Android has reached similar level of maturity for some time now. This means there’s less work to do and the pace of source code changes slows. In that context it makes sense to keep fewer branches and release less often.
The other interpretation is simply that Google might be removing workers from the project, thus being unable to maintain the current release schedule.
It’s likely both.
But the US is NATO. 🤭
