[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;48037683]modern laptop batteries can take a hit nowadays wouldn't even worry about it[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Brt5470;48037766]Leave it plugged in. The circuits take care of charging and stop when it's full.[/QUOTE] Okay, thanks guys.
This is the one time I'd want a removable battery in my phone, so I can swap it and instantly be at 100 percent without the need of plugging it in or into a power bank.
Are you fucking me? where would I even find one of those faggot cubes without paying $9001 for it.
[QUOTE=Tmaxx;48038081]Are you fucking me? where would I even find one of those faggot cubes without paying $9001 for it.[/QUOTE] They're $20 from Apple, if you're willing to not be an ass about it.
The little cube chargers are 1 amp, I have a 2 amp charger chilling here doing dick all.
[QUOTE=nikomo;48037772]Linux provides those statistics automatically, [B]don't know about Windows.[/B][/QUOTE] There it depends on manufacturer. Lenovo's laptops are bro-tier and supports both estimated time and percentage, while HP's only tell you percentage (what a surprise)

TBH I can't bother babying my batteries when I'm plugged in most of the time and new ones aren't THAT expensive anyways. I'm against anything that sacrifices a replaceable battery for a barely noticeable decrease in thickness. [QUOTE=Levelog;48037729]What's the best way to check battery health like that?[/QUOTE] Batterybar gives you plenty of battery-related data.

Parents were complaining that the home WiFi was slow, turns out I was uploading stuff and forgot about it. A 10Mbps upload is not enough for me, especially if I have to upload a ton of footage. On a side note, I must be the only one that utilizes my schools SharePoint 1TB quota, too bad they are still running an out dated version that limits files to 2GB each.

[editline]24th June 2015[/editline] I bought a replacement battery. It still doesn't solve the fact that It's not being picked up by my computer, or knowing that it's being charged.
[QUOTE=pentium;48038060]My 4S does this. It won't fucking charge off any AC adapter unless it's the fucking little cube Apple chargers or my parents PC. Even with my 3A adapter it just sits there going "LOL, WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT FOR." The spec says it just needs ANY USB port that can handle 2A.[/QUOTE] [img]https://i.imgur.com/vXGkAkh.png[/img] Welcome to Apple's bullshit, because just following the spec would be soooooo fucking hard.

well, I let it sit off while connected to my computer. I powered it up before bed, just to see if it charged. It's 20% charged ?????????????????????????????????
[QUOTE=kaukassus;48039123]Why are big companies physically unable to follow a spec correctly?

Problem here though: all they're checking is two voltages, that you can generate with 4 fucking resistors. If they actually wanted to make sure third-parties don't make shit gear and then push it out, they'd have some sort of ID system in place. [editline]24th June 2015[/editline] Oh goodie.

Works with every other brand, just not samsungs, the raid driver just doesn't pick up on them.
So I'm tethering off my phone on LTE and for whatever reason, there's a ton of lost packets and I have no idea why. Network works fine on phone, it might either be the phone tethering being weird or the wifi adapter being weird.

When you're a hardware partner with microsoft which is free and available to everybody, you can just ship your drivers through windows update, and keep them up to date through windows update. And windows will just install them w/e your hardware is detected. And even ship them on disk when they update their install disk, or release a new OS.
[QUOTE=Amiga OS;48039401]muh differenshishun![/QUOTE] Are you our dedicated 4chan echo chamber?
I still wonder why Microsoft chooses to allow this. They could make a "Windows OEM Certification program" which forces OEM's to adhere to rules that stop OEM's from Shitting up Windows with Bloatware, OOB Malware and Adware. It's not like the OEM's would have any other choice. If they refuse, what other OS could they throw on their laptops? Linux? Android? ChromeOS? heh.

[QUOTE=kaze4159;48039443]They'd probably go the printer route and stop installing important drivers, then include all the bloatware on the installer[/QUOTE] Thing is if they have the bloatware in the installers, but are not allowed to ship the product with bloatware, how are they supposed to have the drivers installed out of the box. Also MS can force OEM's to provide the drivers trough their Windows Update Program to allow the customer to have a consistent Experience when dealing with Drivers. Seriously, there's so many solutions to this and MS can have the OEM's by the balls, but chooses to let them run free, tainting the reputation of Windows in the process. I believe they still fear another antitrust Case.
Holy shit. [img]http://i.imgur.com/a6hD0xk.png[/img] Differential images is huge. [editline]24th June 2015[/editline] Oh SHIT they went for the fad that is fat design too. Fuck :suicide: I was sort of hoping more along the lines of "updating the XP style My Computer icon to the Vista style one" as well.
[QUOTE=nikomo;48037772]Linux provides those statistics automatically, don't know about Windows. I do remember that the charge state that you usually look at, recalibrates the 100% to whatever it can get out of the battery, instead of what it used to have. You could also just stick a constant load on the battery, and let it discharge, and time it.[/QUOTE] [url=http://i.imgur.com/MjWq68L.png] [img]http://imgur.com/MjWq68Ll.png[/img] [/url] That is on Xubuntu XFCE battery manager Someday I will make my own PC PSU with 12V terminal so I can plug my own 12V car battery. Then I will write a linux device driver so linux can know battery voltage and current draw, power draw, AC power draw, and individual DC bus current and voltage. Because science.
