Power saving mode. The maximum power saving mode allows for just a few apps to run at all, so picking out the apps that are for communication gets the outcome you’re looking for, as long as you keep the phone on that maximum power saving mode.

Fixing safety issues would have to include that sharp front end. Maybe just ditch the entire “stainless” exterior and restyling the whole thing would help with that.
Pretty much start with the battery pack and drivetrain, start over after that.

It’s my understanding that LLM’s are thoroughly unsafe, always reporting everything it does and every input back to whoever made the LLM. So, wouldn’t it be easy for whoever owns the LLM to see what it’s being used for, and to refuse service to scammers?

I don’t understand why this is so hard to understand. You’re supposed to stop using the mouse while it is charging, and use the mouse unplugged. That’s the purpose. It’s not a stupid decision, it just prevents some user’s preferred operation of using the mouse while it is charging

So, because money
