"Charge limiter" is just my way of referring to the built in feature on newer iPhones that allows you to set a maximum charging threshold. iPhones older than the 15 apparently don't have it, even with the latest iOS software. Not sure exactly why.

Here's the YouTube recording of Bitcoin Amsterdam 2024.

Interestingly, the charge limiter on my iPhone 15 just stopped working today. It's set to 95% as usual, but it's charging to 100% now.

There's some rumblings online that maybe sometimes the OS will ignore the limiter for calibration purposes. Not sure if it's a bug or not. Weird.

Damn. If only there was an open, permissionless, and decentralized system that could give final settlement in an hour, anywhere in the world.

I came across my notes from my recent tests of the battery health. iPad, usually charged to 100% Cycles 395 Battery capacity vs design 89.3% Wife's iPad, always charged overnight to 100% Cycles 527 Battery 89.8% iPhone XR, usually charged to <90% Cycles 557 Battery capacity 97.3% Seems to make a bi...

I didn’t know he lived in Florida. I hope he’s okay.

Watch it. WATCH IT.

The bitcoin documentary on HBO is awesome, guys. Definitely watch it.

$1.50 CAD for a hotdog is a better deal than $1.50 USD.

Was that before or after Edward Snowden started living there?

The thing I'm really mulling over right now is whether I can emotionally handle that much volatility for what would be a fairly substantial portion of my savings.

Indeed, no special benefits. If you like Michael Saylor analogies (I do), the idea is that it's kind of like buying 1 whole city block of land in New York city during the initial land rush instead of waiting for the demand and value to go up once everybody else wises up. By only owning a fraction of...

I wanna be a whole coinnnneeerrrrrrr.

So word on the street is that the HBO documentary on Bitcoin will be pointing the finger at Len Sassaman as the real identity of Satoshi Nakamoto.

Oh, and yeah, I have an iPhone 15 which appears to be the first generation of iPhone that has the charge limiter natively built into the operating system.

I just saw the PM in my inbox too. Weird.

But more often than not I leave the house without my phone. That’s what I said, yup.

No wonder you take so long to respond to messages sometimes.

But as you point out, an 80% phone charge will inconvenience you if you are out and about all day. I would not let the battery longevity tail wag the dog. Wise. Alright, I upped my charge limit to 95%. This should be a mostly negligible difference compared to 100% in day-to-day use. And I think I'm...

… On the other hand, I increased my equity weighting towards emerging markets a couple days ago... and look at china/hong kong go! I’m off topic, but I don’t understand how Hong Kong is going to thrive. I feel like the mainland is going to stifle business there the same way it clips the wings of it...

Being battery longevity aware is all the rage these days. From smartphones to electric cars, it seems like everyone has their own policy and ideas about how to take care of their device's battery. Do you set a limit to what % you charge your batteries? It seems like the general consensus to best tak...

On October 8th HBO is releasing a Bitcoin documentary with (what looks like) high production value.



I'll be tuning in for sure.

Not me; I would not even walk a mile for a Camel, even though it’s Humpday.

Is anyone doing wing Wednesday today?
