  • People have tried to get me into Monster Hunter several times, with little success. There’s just a lot of work involved.

    Lots of crafting and farming, and once you’re ready, the fight itself is a lot of work. It takes a long time due to large HP pools.

    There are a zillion builds, and the story isn’t exactly deep enough to engage me despite the shortcomings. To me, it’s basically Elden Ring, but with the aspects I don’t like turned to 11.

    Depending on the internal design of the phone, maybe.

    But batteries are rectangular and they can’t put them EVERYWHERE. There are places (such as near the USB port) where you can’t really put battery no matter what because there have to be things that would interfere with the rectangular battery.

    So it might have an effect, but not necessarily, depending on design, and it might be smaller than you’d think.

    Well you don’t say it draws 2 kWh at idle. You say it draws 2 kW at idle. While that is incredibly inefficient, it means that for every hour the device is idle, it draws 2 kWh of energy.

    Oh yeah battery size isn’t sufficient to fully gauge battery life. You need to know power draw to calculate that. And it’s good to get battery life ratings from reviews. Great. It helps a lot.

    But it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t get good, comparable physical specs.

    Kinda like processors. Gigahertz and core counts are far from telling you everything, but it doesn’t mean it should be abstracted into some weird unit.

    What? They draw power, not energy?

    Energy is just the product of power and time. And just like amperage, the power draw of a device varies.

    And this should be obvious, but what makes more sense to an electronics engineer doesn’t matter one bit to the end user. And the end user doesn’t know anything about milli-amperes or volts (except maybe their wall outlet voltage).

    There should be a way to make it simpler.

    Idk, something like “for USB 4 you NEED all of these”.

    Or maybe USB 4 with levels like bronze, silver, etc.

    Or make displaying data rate, display and charging capabilities all mandatory on all ports…

    I’m not sure what, but “it’s a USB port; look in the manual and if you’re lucky you might learn what it does exactly” ain’t it.
