My take on this as well… like who does that 🤨…

That just proves my theory - extreme leftists are not that far from extreme right winged groups.

Yeah, I’ve also found their comments confusing… I just ignore them now.

You’re forgetting about hexbear.

They matter in that particular post. Other than that, no, they don’t.

And if you do, you better run!

True, true.

Stil, it’s a nice idea… we can dream.

I just pitty all those artists that envisioned the 21st century with flying cars and stuff like that… we still run almost everything on petrol.

Just saying… they weren’t advertised like that at all.

Make, model and price please.

They could eventually raise power levels. The tech can be further researched. We didn’t come to this Li-Ion battery capacity with no research.

I do agree that it has to be titanium or something like that.

Yes, it is. Though safely contained in a metal case.

The size is smaller than a coin. Put enough of them in parallel and they’ll output enough power.

No, read the article. It’s Nikel 63 and the decay is copper. It’s contained in a metal seal.

As I said, the simplest solution - better cooling.

It’s not that radioactive and Nikel 63 decays to copper, so there is no radioactive waste being produced when the battery is depleted.

My thoughts exactly. Unless it can output at least double of what the phone’s max drain is, there is no other way.

Or when they switched to LED and actually lasted a decade, like now?

LEDs with Edison screws on them don’t last that long. Maybe Siemens or some other brand name manufacturer, but the cheap Chinese ones last only a few months.

It’s the heat buildup that’s the problem. Disassemble them, slap a CPU heatsink on it and yes, they will last forever.

They’re called burner phones. No real OS on them, no upgrade path, nothing. You wanna make phone calls and send SMS, that’s fine, but let’s face it, most people nowadays don’t use phones just for that.

That iPhone has at least double the CPU power my Zenfone has. Plus more cache, I presume. If I had double the CPU power I currently have on that thing, I would probably still use it.

Upgrading to the latest model would give me the same number of CPU cores and about 20% higher clock speed and slightly more RAM - both barely noticeable. I would get a better camera - but I’m OK with this one for a bit longer.

See, that’s the difference (one of them) between bying an iPhone and an Android phone. Android phones are usually a lot more powerful. I currently use a Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro. 8 cores, 2.0GHz per core, 8GB of RAM, 128GB storage, 4 cameras on the back. And all that for 300€. No iPhone has those specs at that price. Sure, support is shorter, but why people throw that kind of money on something like a phone is beyond me. Still, it’s everyone’s personal choice, and I guess Apple can put in a battery in their devices that will last, oh, 20 years, if they really wanted to, but for most regular Android phones, 10 years is more than enough.
