I wasn't talking about LAN but playing online on public servers. And I wasn't saying it as a bad thing, just tempering expectations. Iirc, you have to patch the game, then create an account for the GameSpy replacement. There were some stability issues, too, but if you find a decent server it was ok.

But after all of that the main issue was, of course, lack of players.

Warhead was like Crysis 1.5, actually. But I have tried playing the original Crysis online a couple years ago and it's possible. Not super convenient, but possible.

I'm pretty sure most regular users will not even notice the charge, and find it useful down the line. Cause one day they will mess something up, complain to MS that they "lost their work", will be pointed to the cloud where everything was synced, and rejoice. Most users don't really care about the implications that their documents are in the cloud.

So if men playing as female avatars in games don't count (that openly admit to it), then I would say it's probably a very small group of men who actually do that.

That's kind of a weird assumption. What qualifies as pretending? I don't think I have ever done that.

I'm aware of slash commands. If it's a /sarcasm command, why would it be at the end of the statement?
What's your source for this? I'm pretty sure "/s" means "end of sarcasm", borrowed from XML/HTML.

Just fyi, the slash in /s or /sarcasm isn't some weird bracket, it's meant as an XML style closing tag, meaning "end of sarcasm". In full it would look as follows:

<sarcasm>Things are going great!</sarcasm>

But people drop the opening tag and the <> for convenience.

Dang, you're still posting? I haven't seen these for months.
Probably because I rarely scroll below 100 upvotes on Top...

I saw list item 1 more as "I want my phone to last for 5+ years, so I will want to replace my battery eventually", rather than "I wanna wreck my battery fast, so it better be replaceable". Being wasteful with your battery like that goes against the spirit of Fairphone, IMO.

2.5 years isn't that long to evaluate battery degradation IMO, and as you said, you mostly don't even push your battery that hard. And the article even seems to imply that faster charging does impact battery life, it's just that manufacturers consider 100w a sweet-spot between charging speed and battery degradation.

Surely, that impacts the battery longevity, right? Personally, I disable all fast-charging features and charge my phone overnight.

P.S. Sorry for calling you Shirley.
