You don’t even need to manually keep your battery in the 20-80 range nowadays since almost every charge controller automatically monitors temperature and adjusts charging parameters to not damage the battery.

Sort of. The charge controller will limit charging current if too far outside normal temperature ranges. But it will still charge all the way to 100% unless you manually limit that with the settings on your device.

Heck, lithium ion batteries nowadays last longest the longer they’re plugged in.

That’s actually incorrect, charging a Li-ion battery to 100% is significantly worse for it than charging to 80%, and keeping it at 100% plugged in is even worse. Which is why most devices will have the option to stop charging at 80% or near there instead of going all the way to 100%.

Charging while warm is also much worse than charging below 50 degrees F or so.

It should never be needed, even when replacing the battery as that data is part of the BMS.

Calibration was a thing like 25 years ago with the awful NiCD/NiMH batteries as I remember.

Yeah but compared to x86 setups they often are not the best choice these days.

Why do you trust Greasemonkey and some random script? That’s far less safe than just installing uBlock Origin.

IIRC if you’re running uBlock Origin there’s no need for Privacy Badger.

In a classic server-client situation, your clients should have AllowedIPs set to 0.0.0.0/0, ::/0 in their repecive configuration file.

Only if you want the VPN to be your default route! Many may not want this.

AFAIK the user account created by default on windows will be a full privilege account, so won’t need a password to gain admin through UAC. Essentially the same as Linux where you can gain root privileges through sudo by using your own password.

But if you create an account with standard user privileges it will ask your for the password to an administrator account to gain admin. I’m not sure what the linux equivalent of this would be, denying sudo access would be too restrictive so maybe there’s an in between where you need the password to an admin user to gain sudo.

No, 2FA stops someone from getting into your account if they have the password.

I find it really hard to read for getting the information I need quickly, too much going on with too much useless info.

App and program are interchangeable terms, it doesn’t matter.

“Usually”

And stuff like this is why Linux communities get a bad rep lol. No one cares that the the term all only came along with the iPhone, it’s a common term now so get used to it.

Backup and restore after formatting? I would assume you have backups in place already

You’re much more patient than I am, my method is hold the power button down until it shuts off lol

Nonetheless, as a Linux user, you are encouraged to build directly from source.

Yeah screw that lol, I want my OS to just work and be easy to use with minimal fuss.

I mean there’s that, but it’s a lot of work for a dev too.

I would rather Linux just be able to detect what’s missing and install it for me. In the case of a lot of missing components, what it says is missing will be named completely different from the package you need to install which makes it really hard.

It was always nice with windows installers because they would come with the needed components, or windows would just prompt to install them automatically.

I guess that’s essentially what Flatpak solves!

It’s definitely a big learning curve with how complex installing things on linux is haha, I’m still used to windows just open the exe installer and that’s it.

I’d say it depends on what your hardware supports for encoding and for playback.

Best quality at small size = AV1

Good with decent support = h265

Best support = h264

Aren’t the networking features just toggles in the settings already? I remember seeing several of the mentioned features in there.

I haven’t used any of the 3, but from a look over them superfile looks a lot more user friendly and has a nicer overall look.

Edit; the install process is rough though, complains about missing glibc but searching for that package in apt doesn’t show anything promising. It also seems to require some kind of third party font that isn’t included? I gave up lol that’s too much for me to deal with.
