Why is rechargeable battery advice always so inconsistent?

>let your battery discharge every now and then
>never let your battery hit 0%, always keep some charge in it
>but don't charge it to full constantly
>don't charge it frequently
>don't let it go too long without being on a charger

The BMS does all of this for you. You do not need to care. Just use your phone normally.
>>
>>107711643
I tend to let it discharge to very low levels if I do that as a typical day of usage consumes 75%
>>
>>107711424
Just replace it when it runs out, all of this is just pointless micromanaging.
>>
>>107711424
>Why is rechargeable battery advice always so inconsistent?
Because whoever is writing the article has no idea and is mixing up chemistries and reciting old proverbs
>NiMH
Old and very finicky chemistry. This is the thing where the memes come from. Discharge fully, never charge by small amounts. Recovering from deep discharge is a ballache of its own.
>Lead acid
Keep it charged up to keep it healthy, handles abuse otherwise. Be careful tho, fully charged contains acid attack juice, and charging produces flammable hydrogen gas. Goes bad after fewest cycles.
>Lithium stuff
These will last longest if they're kept at 50%, but that's not how life works so you do you. If they're overcharged they'll puff up, but the real danger is the dendrites forming from old age and bridging something, making a short, which can ignite gas in the swellings.
>Lithium iron
Little bit safer variant because heat doesn't make it cascade, otherwise rather similar to normal lithiums.
>Sodium ion
Something to be excited about in the future, since it's salt and carbon. 4/5ths of lithium J/kg but otherwise works like capacitor.

Just mitigate it with a shit ton of chargers around your house. My iPhone 15 Pro is usually hooked up charging if I set it down.

I don't really care about obsidian, since I just use Vim/VS Code and markdown files, but I would be interested in project management software. I quite like Azure DevOps at work, I believe you can technically self-host that, but I would like something more light-weight but not cookie-cutter like GitHub projects.

Work or Video Games? I use Steam's note feature to note where I'm at in J/W/T/C-RPG's in case I take a few days off and/or need to note where I'm going in them.

I wouldn't use Obsidian/et. al. for that but Steam's overlay function that they introduced like 2 years ago is nice for that purpose.

Work, I'd use Obsidian/et. al. if you need to take notes to refer back to in a month or more. Something like emergency contacts (that you don't print off), e-mails/contracts that you need to keep on record.

Of course this comes down to you having a "system" and if you don't have that, these will be utterly worthless.
>>
One of the best implementations of Obsidian is as a HTML Creator.

Since github and git pages uses Jekyll formatting, you can structure your MD files into HTML pages. Just upload the MD file into github and itll apply the HTML coding to the MD File.

Cloud gaming will NEVER work.
Not in 20 years has anyone been able to make it work. Not even with shitty net lag compensation mechanics. Not even with lag tolerant design. Not even with fiber to the home cables.
Games need 30fps response minimum. That's 33ms. Good fucking luck guaranteeing that over the web, over the complexity of your datacentre cloud morass and your python and nod.js developer stacks. Even the NORPS will go back to playing retro games on their phones before they pay subscriptions to sticky cloud interfaces.

We've been here. We've had this conversation. The tech has been tried, been found wanting. No-one is interested. Welcome to 2012 AI guys, your next con is in another castle.

the truth is that both capitalism and communism are utopian.

both assume way too much of individuals.
the only societies which are more or less livable are those that accept and embrace the contradictions.
societies which blend collectivist thought with free enterprise.

people love contradictions it seems.

>>107713242
The property rights of capitalism aren't human nature but a specific construct. If there doesn't exist any legal backing for stock for instance stock ceases to exist, because it's toilet paper. The mere existence of property rights isn't equivalent to capitalism.

>Song submission rules/guidelines
Upload the file somewhere, preferably in a lossless format, and post the link here. If you want to update your track, make a new post.
Include the song title in the post, and make it clear that your song is a submission for the album.
Optionally you may include cover art for your track, but please confirm that the image in your post is the cover art or it won't be included. You may not use your real artist name.
Songs that contain anything against YouTube's policies won't be uploaded on YT, but will still be added to the album.
By default, tracks will be normalised to -14 LUFS (integrated loudness) in the release. You may specify a lower loudness for your track.
Use of AI is banned. This includes AI generated stems, samples, and effects. "AI" includes all neural network-based models and not hard-coded automation/procedural generation. You are allowed to ask an LLM about music-related questions, but asking it to give you musical ideas (eg. generating a chord progression) is already a no-no.

Pair of ints wouldn't give a wide range of values that can be represented. With ints going around [-2e9, 2e9], there isn't really a way to store larger values. You can always use larger integer types, but to represent numbers like 1e100, or 1e-100 using the same number format (quite common for scientific applications), you'd need insanely big numerators.

The unique form can be achieved by enforcing that the gcd of the denominator with the numerator is always 1 (except for 0..), and that the denominator must be positive (numerators carry the sign). This representation guarantees uniqueness.

But the actual reason why computers don't 'implement' it, is that rationals don't require any special operations When you multiply two rationals: a/b * q/r, the result is (a*b) / (b*r), which was achieved using only integer operations. Additions/subtractions are a little harder to implement because you need to normalize the denominators, but they're essentially all integer operations, so there's no need for computers to have special instructions.

Even implementing special functions can be done using power series, which can be computed using rationals only,
Some languages like lisps have rationals as first-class language features and they work really well.

Learn about networking by standing up a OPNsense/PFsense box and configuring some VLANs. There's always more to learn and chances to grow. Think you’re god-tier already? Setup OpenStack and report back.

Install Gentoo. Or whatever flavor of *nix is best for the job or most comfy for you. Jellyfin/Emby/Plex to replace Netflix, Nextcloud to replace Googlel, Ampache/Navidrome to replace Spotify, the list goes on. Look at the awesome self-hosted list and ask.

De-botnet your life. Learn something new. Serving applications to yourself, your family, and your frens feels good. Put your tech skills to good use for yourself and those close to you. Store their data with proper availability redundancy and backups and serve it back to them with a /comfy/ easy to use interface.

Can someone explain me the deal with Android and its version numbers?

Back in the days we had Eclair, Froyo and Gingerbread for 2.x.x updates, and ICS, Jelly Bean and Kitkat for 4.x.x updates. Now, ever since Lollipop, we are jumping from 5 to 6 to 7 to 8, even though Marshmallow, Nougat and Oreo could've easily fit as 5.x.x

What is the retarded logic behind this? I don't want to see Android with retarded inflated numbers like Chrome and Firefox which are around their version 50 or so.

they do 1 major version per year, so it will take another 34 years to reach version 50
