A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

i'm on a used pixel 6a and frankly i have no particular desire to ever get a different model. sure it'd be nice to have something newer but this works absolutely fine and i would have 0 qualms using it for the rest of my life, barring the release of phones with hologram displays or some wacky shit.

and considering that the battery health is still 99% even after at least a year of me using it, i'm looking forward to seeing just how long i can go without replacing it. it'd be quite funny to go "yeah my phone's a legal adult"

I guess your battery isn't overheating?

indeed, plus i run ACCA to limit the charge level to 75% during the day and between 40-60% at night.
