I do that. My slide decks these days are hand scribbled.

This sounds great. I would've loved to have set my phone to charge up to only 60% or 80% of its design capacity to reduce wear. I do this on my laptop.

It has been on iPhones for quite some while, but on androids even longer. Before that it was in the form of some smart charging scheme that it would only finish charging until the moment it thought you would unplug it.

It makes a bit of a difference, but not dramatically: https://youtu.be/kLS5Cg_yNdM?t=3m26

In that experiment, it’s also unclear if the 30% lower limit or the 80% upper limit is more important. I suspect the former.

Anecdata, but I did this on my iPhone, and it did absolutely nothing for battery longevity compared to charging to 100% with "optimized charging" (which keeps it at 80% for as long as possible when charging overnight).

I charge my s25 to 80%. Previous phone (pixel) was also limited to 80%, but radio stopped working after 2 years so I had to buy a new phone.

Same for my s24, 80% battery limit and slow charging at night (most of my charging). It's been over 2 years and the battery seems to last just as long as day one

I bet you'd see natural market driven concentration around rail stations in Texas too, if they had a useful rail network.

Dallas-Area Rapid Transit (DART) member cities all had to develop 25-year plans for denser development around station sites as a condition of their membership, if that’s what you mean by “natural”.

You might be surprised, look at Dallas. They have a pretty extensive rail network.

Dallas does not have permissive zoning, even in comparison to a city like Seattle.

That's a big part of it. They also do zoning mostly at the federal level, meaning local opposition isn't relevant.

I use them like bookmarks.

I tried the same, got a similar response, and complained to the AG. Nothing.

I think Antigravity w/Gemini is a great product; it's been super useful on a bunch of my hobby projects. It's especially wonderful when writing firmware and needing to add support for a new chip. I can point it at a PDF datasheet and it'll do a much better job of reading it and parsing out all of the register fields than anything else. Saves me enormous amounts of time.

Thanks, been meaning to try it. I heard the limits on that is an issue and people are supposedly blowing the limits off way too easily? How has your experience been so far in this regard?

On a free Google plan the limits are comically low. On any paid One plan, they are high enough that I almost never hit them.

I absolutely hate it. If you haven't heard a complaint about it, you haven't tried hard enough to get feedback.

There is no context which makes it OK.

Scraping is almost always for obscurity to try and impede cloning. I don't really know why folks bother; it's not effective. Especially with LLMs, it's never been easier to vaguely describe a chip's connections and get plausible part numbers back. Add in traditional decapping / xray / other microscopy and it's really just not that hard to know what you're holding.

It's been many years since I implemented G.Hn hardware, but if memory serves the chipsets are typically able to split the available bandwidth into 1 or 2 MHz wide bins and choose different symbol densities and FEC levels for each bin. If you have a bin that has horrible reflections, you don't use it at all.

I also recall that the chipsets don't do toning automatically, and so it's up the the management device to decide when to re-probe the channel and reconfigure the bins.
