Apple has finally admitted they throttle older iPhones with iOS updates when they release a new model. As the battery degrades over time it’s no longer capable of providing as much power as the CPU needs to draw at peak performance and this can cause unexpected shutdowns so they’ve just been quietly slowing down their phones without disclosing it until now. Probably to encourage you to just buy a new phone for $1000 instead of having the battery replaced for $80.
I just bought a Honeybull battery off amazon ($20 Last I checked) and my phone is running amazing now. It’s a 2.5 year old iPhone 6. It was chugging really bad before but now I’d say it’s back to normal (and no longer shutting off at 30% or when it’s below 60F out). The swap wasn’t all that difficult either.
I can’t believe the Foundation turned down my job application AGAIN. In the “why do you desire this job” field, I put “need to get laid and bored of humans”, and my resume was printed on 84-pound pearlescent ivory cardstock. I don’t understand what went wrong
I fucking told you this was coming. I warned you that the GOP was plunging headfirst into Nazi ideology. It was fucking obvious to anyone who took even the briefest course in Holocaust Literature and examined the Nazis’ ideology and their rise to power in the early twentieth century. Hell, multiple Holocaust survivors themselves tried to warn about it.
And when those of us who actually studied this shit tried to raise the alarm, ignorant asshats screamed, “Stop calling them Nazis! That’s immature name-calling. You can’t just call anyone you don’t like a Nazi.”
I don’t call them Nazis “because I don’t like them.” I call them Nazis because they are fucking Nazis. As in they have adopted, point for point, the Nazi ideology.
(Oh, many of them will still object to being called Nazis–even while their supporters literally march with Swastika flags. But then again, except for a brief period when some tried to “reclaim” the term, most WWII Nazis didn’t like being called Nazis, either–it was originally the short version of a name that was popular with uneducated rural folks, but that came to mean basically “stupid hick.” And it just so happened to work well as a shortened version of the actual party name.)
