My Sony XZ1 Compact seems to have a whole series of battery saving features. Starts with smart charge so that the over ight charge is a trickle charge timed for 100% capacity just befote I wake up. Then there is the 100% charge is not actually 100% because chargi g to the real 100% capacity of the battery is not good for the battery. Time well tell how well this all works of course. Slowing the phone down when the battery is old would be a good idea too, but there should be a notification that you are now on that setting and should look to get your battery replaced.
Any responsible LiOn battery charging circuit/software doesn't charge LiOn cells to 100%. I think the agreed-upon best-practices is something like 83%, but I don't remember offhand.
If that was true the 100% would be your 83%. This is pretty simple: the maximum capacity of a battery isn't the maximum _theoretical_ capacity of the battery. The theoretical capacity isn't used as there are problems associated with that, the real maximum capacity is the one the manufacturer states and have tested to withstand x charge-discharge cycles at certain temperature ranges etc.
Not charging batteries over a certain limit and other tricks can help improve the life time but that's separate from the actual capacity.
The problem with showing the notification as soon as high-demand throttling starts happening is that it would likely lead to MORE complaints from people with JUST barely-marginal batteries, that Apple was "trying to make money off of battery replacements." (You KNOW that would happen!).
Battery-life is a bit of science, and a bit of black-magic, and just like it's really hard to get a "Progress Bar" to perfectly show how much longer something is going to take, it is really hard to predict exactly when a battery should be replaced. Notify too soon, and everyone just assumes you have crappy batteries or a profit motive in the replacements; notify too late, and you either have phones that crash unexpectedly, or drive deeper into performance limiting, risking the illogical-backlash and stupidity-fest that Apple is facing right now.
And now you go into a bullshit scenario in order to defend a consumer unfriendly act.
Here's how Apple could have handled things in a proper way: push a new update which pops up a hint that the battery is getting old and recommend to reduce performance. Then the owner and user of the device could make a choice if to enable that feature. Add a ask-me-later option so that the owner can do a search and learn of the advantages/disadvantages before making it.
Not generally true actually. There are ecologically friendly plastics made from waste byproducts and recycling cardboard products require some work and nasty chemicals. Treated cardboard can be hard to reprocess too however IME Amazon doesn't use anything but fairly thin standard cardboard.
Yes if only... I actually don't know of any shop that carries the goods I use Amazon for. In fact that's _why_ do use online shopping - because I can't find the stuff in local stores (and I use local in the sense of >2h transport to the place).
Don't forget that not everyone lives where you do, have the services you do _and_ have the needs you have.
I think I speak for all other/. users when saying we don't give a fuck what you hope for.
How about you do a fact based response to the parent post instead of going on a irrelevant rant while hoping for misfortune for others? Yeah, I get it - you are a narcissistic asshole and want to show it to everyone. But being an asshole doesn't make you right when calling social security a pyramid scheme. It isn't by any reasonable definition. It may be crap but it wasn't that you claimed, right?
Stupidity have nothing to do with it but yes it works. Even a person that see that obvious and intentional reduction and knows that there is (virtually) no actual reduction in price still feels more compelled to buy.
Human thinking is strange and marketing have been using the quirks of it for a long time.
If voting against Moore is moral then the democrats are obviously more moral than the republicans and the republicans are obviously less moral than the democrats.
So what exactly are you amazed by? You maybe expected the democrats to force republicans to vote for their candidate? I just don't get it...

The numbers are higher if including spiritual beliefs. There are many scientific oriented atheists that call some part of their world-view spiritual so hard to see it as religion as such.

Sometimes I wonder if this is the quality of thinking we can expect _technical_ people to have today and in the future.
*sigh*
Are those the only two alternatives you can think of?
Let me guess - you work for Apple?
If they do I pity them. Having bad hardware is one thing but bad wetware is forever.

But that's not the Apple way.

Now that's lame. And wrong. And stupid.

Hmmm .... just heard on the radio that "net neutrality" might hurt the porn industry. . . that could be worth some votes.
Ah, that would explain why Ted Cruz is against it.

No it's not a Ponzi game - but it is a type of pyramid game. Intentionally? Perhaps not. Still is.
Anonymous Internet tough guy? Never seen that before...
Because it was their job?
Yes there are probably a (metric) fuckton of people that don't get cause and effect. That's sad. But what does that have to do with anything?
Hopefully the people that do get it is larger than the previous group - otherwise the US is fucked anyway.

So the political fanaticism is strong there. But the fanatics still got beat - probably due to the fanatics from the other side.
I didn't know the US is a hostile foreign country to the US. The things one learn...
"to"
In a country with secret courts? None.

Some people do research. Some post ignorant shit they just made up on /.
I believe the people that do research.
So not only are you racist but an idiot.
Because that idea is wrong and well documented wrong. Learn some history.

This isn't relevant and you should know that.
