I doubt even 1/4 of those are actual fires, in my town firefighters show up to car crashes and heart attacks and shootings and all sorts of things that aren't on fire.

If you're letting it get to 5% when you're within 1 minute of a charger I don't think a more efficient CPU is gonna help you, you're just gonna end up leaving it off the charger for longer and still find yourself in same

It's not legal, but the amount of people that will just rollover and take it is incredibly high, and the absolute worst case scenario is that end up having to pay what they would have anyways so there's literally no downside for t

Having a separate number/SIM solely for 2fa makes it harder for attackers to know the number they need to initiate a simswap in the first place, since it won't be publicly associated with you the same way your normal phone number

I bought a Kindle and that was nice, but I'm terrible at remembering to bring it with me when I leave the house, and the (admittedly small) effort of having to connect it to my computer to load epubs onto it is enough friction to stop
