Midnight Wolf

I’m one of the outliers in that I do 80 to ~10 before the day is over, then I’ll charge and keep going, or I keep it topped up on the wireless charger throughout the day. But overall I’m charging at least a full cycle daily. I use my phone heavily. 1.5y in and I started using the 80% cutoff for lifespan, but I haven’t noticed a decline, it’s preventative and not reactive.

Family member has my previous phone, 2.5y old, and has not complained to me about the battery. When it was in my possession it was the same use case/scenario. Their use case is lighter duty, but they leave the screen on for like 10 minutes after idle, never turning it off manually. Pain.

My previous previous phone was given to a sibling, 3.5y old, again when it was mine it got the same heavy use. They use a battery bank some days, but they can be an even heavier user than I am sometimes - discord voice and video chatting, games, even doing one while also on a desktop. 100 to 20 or less most days, I often see it in the evening in battery saving mode around 10% when they are reaching for the bank. But that’s still with a few hours SoT and heavy use with socializing and games and stuff.

All 3 are pixel pros, 8/7/6. shrug

My guy it’s not just “the fans will be loud” it’s legitimately “the cooling is inadequate and the case traps heat in a cycle”. The hardware can be fine but if it’s all boiling at 100C it robs performance due to thermal throttling.

More of the fact that they are 2.5x the price of the parts, and the cases they are in are the opposite of ‘optimized for cooling’. Thermal throttling is the name of the game here.

Like a Ferrari that looks great (great in air-quotes here) in the driveway, but overheats a block down the street, essentially.

I’m using Thunder (app), first one I tried and it’s basically what I had with RedReader so I’ve never really tried anything else.

No, no, of course not. Just sensible yachts and mansions.

This isn’t a guide, but any reverse proxy allows you to limit open ports on your network (router) by using subdomains (thisPart.website.com) to route connections to an internal port.

So you setup a rev proxy for jellyfin.website.com that points to the port that jf wants to use. So when someone connects to the subdomain, the reverse proxy is hit, and it reads your configuration for that subdomain, and since it’s now connected to your internal network (via the proxy) it is routed to the port, and jf “just works”.

There’s an ssl cert involved but that’s the basic understanding. Then you can add Some Other Services at whatever.website.com and rinse and repeat. Now you can host multiple services, without exposing the open ports directly, and it’s easy for users as there is nothing “confusing” like port numbers, IP addresses, etc.

It’s MS trying to not have another meltdown like CrowdStrike. They tried to do it with Vista, and they pussied out when all the same fucks cried out ‘but we can’t fuck with the OS like a bent-over ho’, and so MS let it slide in the ‘eventually’ to-do bin until it was demonstratably their fault for not clamping down on kernel access.

Also lol “willing to follow”, as I understand it MS isn’t giving them an option or opinion this time around. Gtfo of the kernel or your shit will stop working. I think the deadline is 2026, but it’s been a while since this was all announced.

“you could, like, fuck off with that shit”

“what does that mean” 🤔 🤔

Well, guess it’s time to get my aarp card

Ah, I’m not running 11 yet. I’m one of the holdouts still on 10, I upgraded as soon as it was available and then restored from an image to 10. I fear I need to get pushed to it at EoL, since my home rig has two sound cards, a keyboard, and a mouse that are configurable only in windows. But fuck, I’m dreading the day, as I hate the start menu, the possibility of ads in explorer, the context menu is stupid and is not accessibility-friendly, I can’t keep the taskbar at the top, the settings are getting more obtuse…

So yeah that could explain why I’ve not seen it before myself :p

I don’t think I’ve ever had that happen - maybe it’s a group policy thing or something?

This is it. OP is just dumb. “omg it’s restarting when it said it was at less than 100% and I can’t fathom why that would be, I told it to shut down reeeEEEEE”. I used to think this was job security (“my system got corrupted and it’s totally not because I’m an idiot”) but as the years go on I yearn to simply drop filing cabinets on their heads.

I was mostly with you right up until paragraph/linebreak/whatever 4. Took a pretty civil discussion and went bonkers. Put down the keyboard, go rub one out, and relax my dude.
