Because they're different than a laptop, desktop, phone, with different capabilities and limitations.
Why are you using Lemmy when reddit works better?
(By "better", I'm sure someone could make arguments why reddit works better for them, that would make as much sense as OP's opinion on "better" regarding these devices).
Or more simply, your opinion is just that - your opinion.
Yep, everything has a place. And if I need the same tool for 2 different things, each project box gets it's own tool.
I've also started using a shopping list app to organizer containers/toolkits/project kits, etc (Anylist). I can create many lists (but I keep it to a few), and I make sure to label each container/kit, and add pictures to the list items.
You don't understand or you refuse to acknowledge this is a back door into your device an Apple is actively scanning your files meaning your device is now compromised.
Or are you shilling for anti-privacy?
My device, my files. I don't want your scanning.
What's so hard to grok about that unless you are anti-privacy?
"they just forget they were children once" said every generation of kids.
Myself included.
We saw what was coming in the 90's, and discussed the inevitable shitshow that social media was going to be (we didn't know Facebook itself was coming, but we had MySpace, etc, which was also something we studiously avoided using because it was clearly problematic).
I highly recommend reading about Las Vegas and the research the gambling companies have done to get people addicted to slots, etc.
Vegas is designed to entrap you. Social media companies are using the same research to the same ends.
Parallel won't show current load of a device. Even a clamp type can be thought of as serial, it's just picking up the EM field instead of actually carrying the current load across the device.
Something in parallel will be powered by the same source, with it's current load independent of the other device.
(And yes, I had to think about it for a second, it's not always immediately intuitive for me either.)
Can you imagine a datacenter replacing them that often?
Don't get me wrong, it's very good advice to remind folks these batteries are a wear item, and to be be prepared to replace them, but if you're having to replace them at 18 months, I'd be looking for a different, not junk, brand.
Maybe 2 years, if I have bad power so it's being used, a lot.
I can only imagine batteries wearing this fast because the UPS is cheap and doesn't have pass-through design, and instead uses the batteries constantly to provide power conditioning.
Ok, you made me snort, have my upvote.
