  • Did a little digging around. It looks like they manage to get discovery judgments all the time over partial downloads, but I don’t see them actually taking anyone to court for anything less than a full file.

    Once you have the entire file available, it’s hard to shimmy around the distribution claims. Wouldn’t it be super effing interesting if everyone’s torrent client specifically picked a random block and refused to give it to anyone?

    I’m not sure it would hold up in court, but it would be interesting.








  • Constant plugin isn’t actually the problem. When the battery’s in good condition, they can stay plugged in and it only charges when it hits 99%, it stops again at 100. But as the battery gets older, the cells degrade and the resistance gets higher. They can start trying to push to 100% when it can no longer get here. At that point, they’re supposed to be some smart software to determine that you can no longer charge to that level and reduce the capacity that tries to charge to. But if you never discharge fully and recharge that software often doesn’t work.

    The best solution for the condition is to use software that makes the phone stop charging it 80%. It takes the battery a very, very long time to lose 20% of its capacity if you don’t hit the overcharging over temperature issues.

    Having the battery stop at 50% or 80% the battery will probably outlast the hardware.
