Technology@lemmy.world•Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 PhonesEnglish
1·1 month agoI personally don’t trust the little (probably superficial) insights I have into the topic enough to be able to gauge this; neither do I have the energy to put into discerning slop creators doing it for clickbait with some backyard engineering or genuinely correct amateurs.
I like to outsource that to proper channels, I understand that it’s probably not 100% fair every single time, but as I said, I have neither time nor energy to judge it properly myself

Technology@lemmy.world•Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 PhonesEnglish
1·1 month agoExactly, when it comes to highly complex chemical and electrical engineering and physics (as is the case with Smartphones and their lithium-ion batteries), I will take it as an inditcator if it comes from well-established testers with professional equipment like GN (Gamers Nexus) or other established technical journals when talking outside of the video world, but will not accept it as a general and genuine technical (!) insight until it has gone through the due process of scientific publishing and peer review…
Even then I prefer meta-studies, since they reduce biases and general inaccuracies.

2·2 months agoBuy a last gen Pixel used from a private seller maybe like on eBay and install GrapheneOS OS on it. If you don’t want to mess with a lot of stuff, you can use the main profile for foss apps and open another user in which you install sandboxed Google Play services and gradually switch to foss apps more and more

Linux@lemmy.ml•What do you see as the arguments for and against adding Server Side Decorations in GNOME?
3·2 months ago“Don’t theme my app” is all about distro defaults. No one is arguing against user modifications as long as the users don’t expect any official support for their custom stuff
