Yea, small business routers (think old Cisco boxes) use a 5A laptop-style power supply. I suspect this is what OP’s using, as I’ve never seen a consumer model with such power specs. Consumer stuff is built around the cheapest hardware they can get away with.

Thing is, I don’t doubt the Cisco box (or similar business units) may need that much juice at times. Put your hand over one that’s not connected but powered on and they get hot.

Stuff like that they really don’t care about power consumption during design, just capability.

If it’s an engineering reason that was able to override marketing, I’d buy it just for that reason alone!

No he hasn’t, clearly.

He hasn’t even ever talked to a woman, or he’d know about the Pocket Plot

I’m with you.

But it’s a tough call on Graphene’s part too - right now only us in-the-know have any awareness of the implications of Graphene’s approach (security first) or even alternative OS for Android devices.

They probably think getting that out to the greater public is the crucial first step - get that accepted as a thing.

Also, by the time the general public is using Graphene devices, other phones may be shipping with the necessary hardware. Remember, most people are buying new phones every couple years when their old one starts misbehaving - to most people a phone is a toaster.

Definitely.

Battery life/Android battery usage has improved tremendously over the years, as has better tech.

Plus standardizing on USBC means charging is available everywhere.

And I’m someone that charges 2-3 times a day (in addition to a controlled overnight charge). In Ye Olden Days my phones had extra batteries and battery cases.

That’s an interesting question.

Fortunately being Graphene you should be able to do what you want. Though the Graphene team is very much anti-unlocked-bootloader.

If the velocity is the same (rate of change) then I think work is the same (Physics was a long time ago).

That’s from a basic physics perspective.

Biologically I would assume 2 steps requires more calories as we don’t go slower, and I suspect the mechanics of motion don’t work as simply as a basic physics experiment.

I miss having a phone where vibrate was useful. I’d really prefer that over sounds.

My OG Droid would wake the dead.

😕

Last I checked, /e/ is Lineage that’s had stuff tacked on.

That’s fine - it brings features they think are useful. But it’s Lineage underneath, not their own fork.

Anguish?

It’s a fucking phone.

This is the shit “boomers” talk about when they say “kids today are soft”.

Good job proving a “boomer” right.

(Yes, boomer in quotes because it’s the kind of shit people like you say).

Hahaha

Look at her eye - she looks like she has pink eye or something.

And most of them are fucking PDF anyway, so another layer of editing and likely a layer removed from daily management

Sad but true.

Gulf carts…

Yes, because it’s ambiguous.

Define sugar.

Define consume.

It’s a blanket statement without nuance.

Also everyone consumes sugars in some form - i.e. Carbohydrates.

The simpler the carb, the greater the volume, the more of a concern/risk.

Such ambiguous statements are a major problem with the medical community these days, as all sorts of things get communicated without any quantification.

Things like you’re at a greater risk of X because of Y.

OK, how much greater? 60%? Or 0.006%? Is that absolute risk or relative risk?

The blood pressure debate is awash with this problem. As is the realm of biologics (used for autoimmune/autoinflammatory diseases) when looking at increased risk for infections. Yes, there’s an increased risk, but across the board of all biologics that increase is something like 1 case in 5000 man-years - with no determination if that’s truly because of the biologic or because they study participants already have immune dysregulation

And for specific biologics and specific diseases, there’s no demonstrable increase in risk, based on massive meta-analysis.

The devil is in the details.

Exactly.

BS

You’re assuming we have any actual power, whether POC or not.

That power button is calling…

Good luck using a VPN outbound on a properly setup business network.

That would be a major security hole, and likely a violation of any ethics/business practice agreements you signed (but it shouldn’t even work in the first place).
