Re: What % Do You Charge Your Battery To?

"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.

Re: What % Do You Charge Your Battery To?

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. ;D

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...

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.

Re: What % Do You Charge Your Battery To?

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...

What % Do You Charge Your Battery To?

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.
