overview for Ambiorickx

For real. Once I retire in a decade or so, I’ll try to live off social security for as log as possible, but once I need to dip into my savings, I’m just tapping my kid’s inheritance. At that point, death is the only financially rational option.

27 minutes of musical acts, 2 minutes of announcing the drivers’ names (you already know them)

The story I heard, and I don’t know if this is true or not, is that 100 isn’t just a human’s blood temperature, but specifically Mrs. Fahrenheit’s blood temperature.

Maybe this isn't proper shopping but $18.50 for four veggie burgers, buns, and danish seems like a lot in c/[email protected]

Yeah, that’s not a danish, that’s an entire cake. It’s 14 ounces.

Around 2004-5 I regularly stayed at a large chain hotel near Tucson airport (something like Doubletree, but I’m not sure if it was that one). They charged a daily fee for the phone in your room. Not for using it, mind you, just for the phone being there. And no, they did not have rooms without phones.

Ridiculously good iPhone 11 Pro battery (lemmy.world)

I have an iPhone 11 Pro which is now about 3 ½ years old, and under battery health it says that it’s still at 100% capacity. Feeling less than confident in this, I plugged it into coconutBattery, which tells me it’s at 97%, and has 706 charging cycles under its belt. I find this unbelievable, especially since in the last few weeks I’ve been getting low power notifications around 6 or 7 pm daily, whereas I used to be able to go all the way until bedtime without getting a notification. I’ve also been getting the nagging feeling that the phone just isn’t as snappy as it used to be — e.g. if I press the power button and put the phone in my pocket, nowadays the screen is often still on when it gets there, so it starts to do stuff as the pocket fabric touches it.

Compare and contrast with my 2-y.o. iPad mini, which has a little over 650 cycles and 88% capacity, according to coconutBattery.

Is there a way to get an idea of the actual state of my battery?
