  • The echo chamber is pretty bad here. I also don’t like that people here downvote opinions they don’t agree with, Reddit did this too though. I don’t think opinions should ever be voted on, up or down. People see which types of opinions get the most upvotes and it causes them to not express their true opinions for fear of being downvoted.


  • It depends on the amount of extra batteries that are made. In 2022, 225 million iPhones were sold. If an extra battery for every phone was produced, but only half of those consumers ever buy a new battery then we are looking at over 100 million wasted batteries. Then eventually all of those 225 million consumers would get a new phone anyways, so it still becomes waste at some point. I’m sure they will get better at predicting how many extra batteries to make eventually though. I do wonder how much it’s needed these days though. I get a new device every ~ 18 months but my spouse uses devices for ~ 5 years before getting a new one. She usually gets a new one just because of newer features, battery degradation doesn’t seem to be as much of an issue anymore.







  • I just don’t see why they wouls use any of that as it all can be faked. I’m going to set fake user agents on my mobile browser and change my devices TTL to 128 (windows default) and see if I can supply any other fake metadata just to see what happens. Can you supply any documentation showing that carriers use any of that data to prevent using a hotspot? What do you mean by “aosp snitches you out”, I’ve used official and custom roms for at least a decade and used hotspots weekly across all of them and I’ve never had any kind of issue.
