You'll feel wealthier longer if you avoid charging your batteries to 100%:
If a mobile device offer charge limiting, I always set it to 80%. Examples of those include my FairPhone4 running CalyxOS or my Flipper Zero running the Momentum firmware. If it's a cellphone and it doesn't have charge limiting, I'll use a Chargie. Any other device, I try to be careful if possible.
My 2016 laptop doesn't support it (no firmware support to limit charging) so I'm currently wrecking my second battery. I really need an upgrade.
In the old days, that's how we felt with a full tank of gas and a twenty.
100% fair and I do generally follow that rule with my phone and mostly enable the "stop charging at 80%" feature but I've noticed two downsides to it:
I'm a bit more carefree with the headphones partly because it's harder to tell and partly because it's a much, much easier battery replacement.
The good news is charging it that last 20% takes the most time and energy so it's fairly likely that you'll come across ur phone within that range anyway.... Unless of course ur the kind of person to always keep it on the charger. In which case stahp it
Lmfao implying the rich use social media
You're poor too. You just think you're richer than me 🙂
You do realize saying "I use a new phone every year lol" automatically marks you as poor right?
You know why? Because real rich people don't even know how many phones they own, how long they last or how often they change them. And real rich people don't say "lol"'.
Lol, people bragging about being rich: 👎
Me, content, bragging about being poor: 😁
You're right they probably don't say "lol" they probably say 'RomGPoCaWmAwi' (rolling on my giant pile of cash, and wiping my ass with it)
Believe me, I sympathize 🙂
That's something a poor would say.
