Being wasteful with your battery like that goes against the spirit of Fairphone, IMO.

And the article even seems to imply that faster charging does impact battery life, it’s just that manufacturers consider 100w a sweet-spot between charging speed and battery degradation.

Personally, I disable all fast-charging features and charge my phone overnight.
P.S. Sorry for calling you Shirley.

Most laptops don’t even support 100w.

Could any duck/goose experts please clarify whether that’s a goose or not?
Ok, thanks! Good to know there’s a backup plan. For now Arc still works fine, just no updates anymore.
Does any other browser let me open 2 windows with the same synced tabs? Also, permanent per-space tabs, please.

Farid@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•The Pebble Has Been Brought BackEnglish5·4 months agoI’m not criticizing the screens, they are ok and I loved my Pebble Time Steel until the battery swelled and popped off the screen. I’m just saying that calling these e-paper is a deceptive marketing strategy.
Farid@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•The Pebble Has Been Brought BackEnglish2·4 months agoFrom the Verge article:
The first watch that Migicovsky and Core plan to ship is called the Core 2 Duo (not to be confused with the old Intel processor), which Migicovsky says will cost $149 and will ship in July. […] It has the exact same black-and-white e-paper display as the old Pebble 2 (technically a transflective LCD, if you’re curious)
Farid@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•The Pebble Has Been Brought BackEnglish3·4 months agoAs I mentioned earlier, whether a screen type is considered e-paper is subjective. And in my opinion, reflective LCD isn’t a type of e-paper. You may disagree, but it’s not “categorically” wrong.
Farid@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•The Pebble Has Been Brought BackEnglish3·4 months agoQuote is from Wikipedia. You can see it’s the case for both models here:
Besides, I own a Pebble Time watch and can tell you, it doesn’t perform like a typical e-paper. It has the bad viewing angles of LCD and screen goes blank when power is lost.
Farid@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•The Pebble Has Been Brought BackEnglish111·4 months agoThe watch featured a 32-millimetre (1.26 in) 144 × 168 pixel black and white memory LCD using an ultra low-power “transflective LCD”
The problem is that e-paper is a category of displays, and some companies label reflective LCDs as “e-paper”. Which is subjective (and I personally heavily disagree with that categorization, cause then LCD clocks and Gameboys have “e-paper” displays, too).
But in the comment I responded to it was said Pebble has “eink” display, which is categorically wrong, as that is a very specific proprietary technology, which is e-paper in traditional sense, like the ones in Kindles.
Farid@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•The Pebble Has Been Brought BackEnglish36·4 months agoIIRC, it has a reflective LCD, not epaper display.
Thanks, good to know.
Technically, sideloading is possible already, but you need a developer account, you’re limited to 3 sideloaded apps at a time, and you have to renew them every week.
So the more difficult way already exists.
Fun fact for you: All döner is kebab, but not all kebab is döner. Because döner is just a type of kebab (grilled meat on a stick). Which also means that shawarma’s status as kebab is questionable, as it’s usually roasted or pan fried, as far as I know.
