You keep using a service/app that you know doesn't work the way you want it to. Do you know the definition of insanity? xD

I have 7500 songs downloaded on my phone (actually downloaded, the .opus files) and I use Poweramp to listen to them. It consumes less battery, the quality is the same or better and the shuffle option works as expected. I also don't need to log in to anything.

If you don't like it, stop using it. There's no one to blame but yourself.

I’ve also had to replace phones for broken USB ports which in the grand scale is probably more wasteful than the extra power use.

On one hand, yes, your port can break at some point. On the other, why would you throw away the whole phone if the usb port can be replaced? Going even further, you could always use your usb port for charging until it breaks and after that you could start using wireless charging. For data transfer there are plenty of apps and ways to wirelessly transfer data so that wouldn't be a problem either. At the end of the day, you're barely using your usb port and you're also wasting twice as much (or more) energy that you would if you used a wired charger.

Wired turbo chargers are bad as well. However, although I don't know about iOS, Android lets you plan your charge cycle. That makes my phone take about 8 hours to charge while I'm asleep.

Or you could just not use a fast charger and not worry about that. Either way, you're moving the goalpost. Not all phones support fast charging and not everyone has a fast charger. I'd wager most people charge their phones with lower power (15/20w more or less).

I'd be interested to see how you measure that. It's also not really a matter of opinion. Even though you may not notice a wild difference, your battery did degrade more than it would've, if you'd used a wired charger.

Also, the inefficiency is bad enough for me to rule it out. You literally waste at least twice as much power compared to a wired charger (source). Although we're not talking about a crazy amount of power, it's pretty selfish to waste it just because you don't want to plug in a charger.

You do realize that wireless charging is also very inefficent and reduces your battery lifespan, right? It's also kinda weird that your port goes bad after such a short time. Maybe you should clean it more often and make sure not to put any tension on it when you use it. I even have a 10 year old phone and the port (micro usb) still works perfectly fine.

Except that you can't unlock an android phone with your fingerprint/face if you just turned it on. The first time you unlock it you have to use your pattern/pin.

Not having dialogue has nothing to do with. While the animals can only be so complex (if acting "naturally"), the storytelling is not limited to just that. They could've probably told more about the world with the elements and places the animals found. The animation was pretty crappy at some points too. The dog for example was not very well done.

Regardless of all of this, I'm not saying it should have been different, I only wanted to express that this movie is not worthy of an oscar when compared to something like Memoir Of A Snail, imo.

It's a very simple film without much depth to be honest. Memoir of a snail was far better.

Who said that? That's not the limiting factor. Also, smartwatches have crappy processors.

Supposedly, what's hard is making a phone with good performance and battery life that's also small.

It was a rhetorical question. I think they meant that adding cloud backup wasn't a very significant upgrade. That co fuses me because there's very little a 2fa app needs to do. So I don't get what else they would expect to be added.

?? What's that supposed to mean?
