Comment Max charge is half the story... Max discharge... (Score 5, Informative) 79

Allowing a lithium ion battery to fully drain, and recharging, also puts tremendous stress on it. The key to maximizing battery life is to stay in the sweet spot, not fully draining, and not fully charging. These statistics are a lot better than some random anecdotes: https://batteryuniversity.com/...

Comment Brainless Idiots (Score 1, Troll) 282

Actors are brainless, mindless, idiots. He could have said WHATEVER he wanted. The teleprompter gives you the pre-written speech. But if you have a working brain, you can say whatever words you want. You don't have to read what's on the screen. But most actors are brainless, mindless idiots. Who spend their lives pretending to be people that they're not. Chameleons with no insides. And now he's upset? After the speech, someone must have given him a teleprompter that said he was supposed to say that he was upset.

Actually, the whole point of Brave browser is to take all of Chrome's functionality, and get rid of all of the tracking and ads. It's super fast, super stable, and like a completely different internet. You're not bombarded with ads. You're not tracked. You actually have control. I'm shocked when I go to websites, including subscription news websites, on a different browser. The endless bombardment with ads is awful. Plus all the video and other unwanted content. Brave is awesome.

It's called deductive logic. "Update of app" supposedly causing issue. "Downgrade of app" doesn't fix issue. Issue only occurs in car. Phone is hot. It just got hot due to spring/summer weather. Have similar phone with no issues. Problem seems to be isolated to that individual; definitely not widespread. -> Phone getting direct sun in a cradle is almost certainly the issue But hey, if you want to put on a tin foil hat, be my guest.

Fake news. Pixel 7 pro fully updated; absolutely nothing has changed. Putting your phone on the dash (or in a holder on the dash) will bake it during the spring/summer months, regardless of OS or model. Direct UV rays heat everything up on the dash. Your AC doesn't blow on your dashboard. Try putting some chocolate up there. Or even something with a significantly higher melting point. It will melt right away in your conditioned car.
