You see, this is what we're talking about with free software. When there's something good (using power supply information to avoid draining a critical battery for a user) that we would like to enable, we can enable it.
When the software is adversarial, we can't have nice things.
- Animats 10y agoWhen the software is adversarial, we can't have nice things. Sadly, yes. On low battery, Uber's app could change its attract screen (the map with the fake moving cars) to a static, dim screen with just the Uber logo. But no, they have to phone home to Uber Central. At least they don't crank up the GPU to run the battery down further, then announce surge pricing. Yet.
