For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

My wife does this a lot and says it's a girl thing :( Is it? I don't believe in that.

My wife just says she forgets. She's undiagnosed adhd for sure though.

Edit: I have been informed by my wife that I must tell you that i also do this.

Your wife acknowledges the existence of her phone?

Wait, aren't you supposed to drain it to 0%, and then charge to 100%?

Charging it before then trains the battery to hold less charge over time.

Are you using NiCd batteries?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

you're supposed to never let a lithium battery go below 10 or above 90, because that damages the battery

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

That is how old NiCd batteries from the 2000s worked.

Lithium is the opposite, it doesn't like to be at 100% for long periods of time and it likes being at 0% even less.
