That's the absolute maximum output, a typical laptop uses more like 2-6W while running.

Plus cycling the battery like that will wear it out faster, and they're generally only rated for 500 or so cycles. The replacement cost would likely easily over come any savings.

This is a problem a lot of secure/private projects have tbh, they get so into the details that it's just a miserable user experience.

I assume ease of use and spam prevention.

I think Signal tries to be at least somewhat attractive to the average person who wants more privacy than just using WhatsApp or whatever. Making it easy to message existing contacts helps a lot with adoption.

Yeah I'm not sure on that one, just a misunderstanding by whomever wrote the changelog maybe

I'm not really sure what your question was in that case, I thought you were wondering if this is also useful for people who charge a lot, and the answer is yes because it's always better to stop at 80% vs 100%.

XPipe is what I use, supports syncing via git, SSH, sftp, RDP, vnc, etc.. And can manage docker containers too. It also has scripts you can define that automatically work on any SSH connection.

Li-ion just really does not like being at 90-100% charge regardless if it's being actively charged or pass through is used.

Especially since that's a thing that almost every MMORPG does too.

Tiles are just BLE, they're pretty dumb devices that basically just broadcast a BLE ID.

But there are dedicated standalone GPS trackers that use LTE/5G, the downside is you need a SIM card and data plan, and they are a lot bigger with shorter battery life.

People will rent them for the right price.

Ah, yeah MX might not be the best choice of a distro for ease of use.

Generally nay I think. There are a few I enjoy like Minecraft or Space Engineers.

But in general open world is just more annoying to deal with.

 

Given the recent news about Plex soon charging for remote access, I wanted to finish up my switch to Jellyfin.

What tools/methods have you all used to migrate watch history to Jellyfin?

I have a few family members in there, and would like to get everything switched over without resetting their watch history.
