Yes.

Simplified and probably inaccurate explanation: 100% & 0% wears at the "membrane’ that keeps the two energy compounds apart. Charges afterwards don’t reach 100% as easily, or not at all. Charging to 80% puts less strain on the membrane as it keeps the two energy rich compounds apart. 50% is best, especially if device is always plugged in. At 50% the membrane is under the least amount of stress.

*Molten batteries *are the only ones I know that solve the problem, but they’re the size of a house and meant to power cities.

Also we’re finally starting to see devices acknowledge this issue. Phones now only charge to 80% overnight then go to 100% shortly before your alarm goes off. And always plugged in laptops can be set to 60% charge to preserve the lifespan of the battery.

I hate the collaborator take. Now if I could only find evidence to prove you wrong.

It’s always been a problem. I BELIEVE that averaged out more people just keep their posts up.

• Craigslist

• Biting the bullet for Facebook marketplace

• Ordering directly from manufacturer

If they are making their own then they aren’t using them. I refuse to believe that they wouldn’t if they could. Therefore the US has probably told them to not use them in exchange for steady re-supply or intelligence access.

No. Too many eyes on the area. Not even counting hungry journalists trying to break a story.

Oh no. A true believer still thinks she is relevant

Individually whitelisting means your “approve this?” inbox would be massive every single day

From a technical point, blocking would only be obvious to the blocker. The server would remember your settings and not show you anything related to the person you blocked.

The blocked being unable to see you would require a lot more technical work. Easy if you are both on the same server as the server could register the block. If they blocked is on a different server then both servers would have to accept the block registration. And then another server needs to spend resources making sure that their blocked user gets content filtered out that contains your name from seeing them.

As a general rule when it starts interfering with your “higher priorities”, ususally career/family/friends. Calling off work using personal leave for a video game you waited 3 years for is ok. Using the last of your sick leave to get another day of gaming isn’t. Missing events with people you want to have a good relationship with isn’t.

Tell her that the gaming is affecting the relationship.

Tell her it’s going to be a problem if she can’t set aside time for you with no games.

If she picks games over you then you’ll just have to meet up after she’s had time to grow a little more as a person.

This story repeats and repeats every time. We will learn how to deal with these technologies as we have every time.

Printing press was a bitch for information control but no one disputes the positive effect it eventually had. Writing, telephone, etc etc.

For our information environment, people will eventually have to start realizing that a third of posts are bots, and another third are people who have no interest in the reader’s well being.

Perhaps eventually a news organization funded by micro donations might rise up. Or we start appending reliability tags to posts [this poster is completely anonymous, this poster gave their full identity, this poster is using a pseudonym and is confirmed to live in the UK, this poster is using a pseudonym and is confirmed to live in Ethiopia and has been banned by several moderation services.
