  4. Re: What typical 9-5? on Wharton Professor Says America Should Shorten the Work Day By 2 Hours (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    There's a thing called a rotating schedule. 8 hours on a set number of days. Hospitals and factories use this so that when a service needed is that important e.g hospitals, or that cannot actually shut down e.g nuclear reactors, power plants, hospitals, T.V, they can have 3 sets of 8 hours or 2 sets of 12 for people to go to work so that service can continue. The problem is solved, and you can hire more people if you really need to. The reason for 8 hours is so that the day is divisible into 3 clean divisions or 2 for 12 hours. This problem that you think you're trying to create is already solved, and is just logistical.

    Also rotating shift workplaces give vacation time around 1 week per month, by design. So you can spend that whole week doing things in advance like buying stuff for a month. Pick a time most convenient during that week.

    You mean like you are when you pay for hosting? Or your ISP even if you didn't pay your hosting but are doing it yourself? A third party is required to even access the internet, let alone host something on there.

    You misunderstand. Companies would most likely refuse to do business with the EU and that would be the end of the EU economy and even the EU, because you can't sue for refusing to do business by location.

    I'm guessing Nvidia card. I found that it causes the most issues, mostly because the drivers aren't great in any capacity or package.

    Right here:

    Li-ion cannot absorb overcharge. When fully charged, the charge current must be cut off. A continuous trickle charge would cause plating of metallic lithium and compromise safety. To minimize stress, keep the lithium-ion battery at the peak cut-off as short as possible.

    And no I hate Apple as much as the next guy but battery safety, especially when technology that's known to swell/explode/flame when mishandled is more important than a grudge. Please keep blame where it needs to reside.

  21. Re:Was the device plugged in for 2-3 years? on Apple's Amsterdam Store Evacuated After iPad Battery Explodes (9to5mac.com) · · Score: 2, Informative

    This is technically your fault but the knowledge of how to keep a battery stored really matters and isn't very common knowledge. Any device with a lithium-ion battery of any kind should not be left on the charger for extended periods, like days or more. If you plan on not using the device, unplug and turn it off. The protection chip on the battery will prevent overcharging but it's a precarious situation that might cause overheating, swelling and explosions potentially the longer it's left charging.

    Get a phone that updates with LineageOS. It solves all the problems outlined in all the threads here: only latest base android, you can install just google play and that's it if you really want and everything else can be considered optional (select pico: https://github.com/opengapps/o...) and you still have a phone that works fast and lean.
