I plugged in an old iPhone SE into the Lightning port on a nice speaker and locked the screen to Spotify -- with auto-brightness it worked fantastically.
Until it also turned into a spicy pillow after about a year and a half.
Really wish there were some kind of system preference to run off wired power only and just not charge/discharge the battery at all.

- nopelynopington 2y agoI've tried but I don't get the spicy pillow reference. Did it catch fire? Or the screen die?
- Two9A 2y agoI believe it's a reference to the look of a failed LiPo battery: it puffs up and looks like a pillow, but if you puncture it fire spews forth. Reddit first came up with the phrase "spicy pillow" to describe that combination.
