If you are using “needs replacing” to mean “the device will be non-functional or risk permanent damage”, you can go significantly lower than 80%. In fact, I think most devices could go down to 0% battery health unless the battery swells.

It is so consistent I don’t even question if a new game will work.
Nvidia drivers on the other hand could still use some work. All wired for me, so I can’t speak to your driver troubles.
I have a windows vm for photoshop and the few programs I can not run native.
I personally run Mint and find it very reliable and capable. It has a windows style interface and my only issues are some minor things with taskbar settings and window snapping. For comparison, I could write a few novels on my issues with windows.
I also believe apple’s claim is assuming optimal conditions. Real life is going to do a fair bit worse. So likely 700-1000 cycles for 80% if the pattern holds up.
I follow the estimate that lipos lose 2-4% capacity per year without any use beyond recharging for safety. If the battery sees daily use that number gets a lot worse.
My guess is everyone else is the perfect mix of hardly any use and winning the battery lottery.
I damaged my first iPhone repair even after multiple years of active hardware modification on other consumer devices. The older models really only go smooth if you have the Apple tools. A nice $149 of tool rental to swap the $50 part at home, rather than paying the $199 to get Apple to swap it for you. Odd how that math works out.
Big phones are overrated.
The SE versions have a history of board level issues so I have been afraid to touch any of them.
Not quite sure where you are seeing this. Maybe games?
Mostly anonymous because even if they don’t know your account, we all know they can still track your fingerprint.
Keep in mind I have drank the Kagi koolaid, so I’m a bit biased.
An ad on the sidebar is not an issue. For example the site for Rufus: rufus.ie
The issue is when ads cause trouble loading, autoplay audio, block the content of the website, have fake close buttons… Really anything that prevents a user from using the site for it’s intended purpose.
Things only go stale when the people behind them get greedy. As another user said, micropayments won’t work because the credit card companies take half the money. If some major players were willing to earn a decent profit rather than the optimal profit, stuff would work a lot better on the user end.
Would your definition be that of your experience?
Would that definition encompass all of humanity, past and present?
Would that definition contain all sapient life? Sentient too?
Would that definition allow for less complex forms of life?
Reading the comments on this post, I am inclined to agree with the words of his biographer “there were people who disagreed with him [who] had not really read his book or understood it.”
If you do get a chance to actually read the book (as you ought to), it covers all the issues and complexities you may have. It is limited only by the information of the era.
And no, I did not discuss this with the people in the images. I only share these things in person so I am not too concerned with it spreading. On occasion I will offer a copy for the person (often the time I realize I have a good photo is weeks after the fact).
Do you have countries in mind? Photography laws fascinate me, so I’d love to read more. I only really know about the US.
For the examples I gave, I used a situation with implied consent but not explicit (a person performing in public), a situation with neither implied nor explicit (a layperson in public), and a situation that may not need consent (a non human subject with people visible). It would be interesting to know if each of those would be handled differently.
It seems many people feel it limits what I would consider "freedom of impermanence", or the concept that as an ordinary individual nearly every action or mistake you make will not considered in your future.
I for one would act differently if that were the case. Many vulnerable or stupid moments would not have happened. Many of those moments have allowed me to grow as a person. And this is as a person who has not faced persecution or bias in law enforcement.
I do not have a stance on the matter of general recording currently, but know that I would have acted differently if there was a camera around all the time. There goes my first time asking someone out, there goes frying a 5V board with 12V because I thought I knew better, there goes bar karaoke so bad that even the bartender looked pained. But if this were law, so too goes the guy I saw in a park fire spinning, so too goes the joy I captured on a strangers face at seeing a beautiful chandelier, and so too goes the countless photos of nature that happen to have people in the background.
To me, that is precedent in US law that computerized methods of executing human tasks do not fall under the same rules.
The idea that everything needs to be proven with evidence is what an LLM excels at. If you give it a task such as "analyze this massive dataset and demonstrate that is proves or disproves this concept" or "find a counter argument to this theory", it will dutifully run through the information and give an answer. If you give it the task of "invent a new style of music", it will do poorly.
It will not do poorly from of lack of ability, nor lack of originality, it will do poorly as "style of music" is a human concept, "new" is a human concept and "invent" is a human concept. Being human concepts, these are things without quantitative value. There is no truth or certainty to what is "invented", as others may call it "discovered" or "developed" (developed in the sense of progressing from a previous work). While a trained ear my call a song "Breakcore" and not "Gabber", another would clump it into "EDM".
The only solution to this is to have human origin. As humans will tell the tale of how an idea came about, inspiring similar thought patterns in peers and earning the title of "new". This to me seems to happen more often with art than science or engineering. Although, it is hard to tell if it is due to increased creativity, or ability to convey thoughts.
All of this is impossible for a non-human to do, as they will give evidence to support the conclusion rather than the tale. This will turn into a possible addition to the knowledge of humanity, but can never earn acceptance as a "jump", as humans care little for evidence. Humans are inherently social beings and, as a side effect, will never acknowledge a non-human contribution.
An easy way to put this is a literal jump. The humans at Merriam-Webster define it in part as "to spring into the air". However, a quick peruse of the comments on a video about the "World's Highest Jumping Robot" will find disagreements about the definition of "jumping" and "robot". The device does spring into the air, but it does so without human legs, human movement, or human consideration for safety. Should you instead look at a video on the highest jumping bipedal robot, you will instead find nearly full acceptance that what happened was a "jump" (it should be noted that there is much disagreement in comments about if such videos are AI generated). By my understanding of the world, this is due to human ability to excite brain paths of an action when viewing another entity preforming the action. So if the viewer's brain does not fire the signal of a jump motion happening, the viewer will seek any rationale to explain the action as not being a jump.
TL;DR: It is all based on vibes, and LLMs give the wrong vibe.
As someone who has done a reasonable amount with PIO, I do not think this is possible. However, that should not stop you. If you get it to work, please ping me.
I’ll give it a shot. Always happy to see some competition in the market. And I love the idea of handing out the source after a year.
You also mention not using the source for commercial use or distribution, is that only relevant before it becomes AGPL?
I am also struggling to find how to activate the 2h trial, so have not been able to test it out.
