I doubt this is directed at ifixit. I agree with their general comment, but at the same time device manufacturers have no incentive to make their devices last longer unless they are forced to.
Comment on Why Charging Your Gadgets Over 80% Is Such a Bad Idea | iFixit News
Adanisi@lemmy.zip 8 months agoYou sound quite irritated. iFixit doesn’t even make phones. Direct it elsewhere.

Sir, this is a lemmy. It’s all about figuring out how to be the most outraged rather than the most rational.

Nah, that's Reddit.

It’s funny how people think that the users here are substantially different than reddit users. It’s the same shit, just fewer of us and the political alignment is further left.

Let’s not bring that energy. Let’s try to be better.
Just kidding! Or am I?

He’s directing it to a forum of people under a topic regarding phones not being optimized to charge past 80%. Quite a fair frustration I’d say, since most people charge their phones while sleeping. The technology should stop charging automatically

Most Android phones do, hell even the experimental phones like PinePhone do. You just have to flip a toggle.

Except many like mine don’t have that option. The best they have is “optimized” charging that tries to only hit full when you go to unplug it.

I charge mine at night with an alarm on it for getting up in the morning, my dad however charges his multiple times a day as he puts it on when it only drops down to 95-80%.
