The experience I described was in Oct 2016, before the iOS update in Feb 2017 which introduced the throttling, and fixed the unexpected shutdowns for me. At the time they just refused to even consider the possibility it was a genuine hardwa

Exactly this. As someone who experienced the unexpected shutdowns (described my experience elsewhere in these comments), the throttling fixed my issue until I ended up getting my battery replaced by a third party. I think what a lot of peop

The experience I described was in Oct 2016. I may be mistaken, but I don’t believe there was any battery charge history (at least not accessible to users) in iOS at the time? In any event, I am not sure the unexpected shutdowns would have m

> Do you have a source for that? This would change my opinion on this story. I can vouch for this. My iPhone 6 was under 2 years old and had 82% battery health according to the Apple diagnostics when I experienced the unexpected shutdown

I disagree. Batteries are very expensive and ultimately consumable parts. I do not see them lasting 30 years. Consider also it’s unusual for people to own cars for even 10+ years currently, for reasons that apply just as readily to electric

My gut feel is that things will work themselves out. A lot of people have driveways and can charge at home. Those that don’t are likely those in cities who typically make shorter journeys and will need to charge infrequently. If you’re one

I don’t disagree, but I wouldn’t describe it as a “huge gamble.” People would just need to continue owning electric/second-hand ICE vehicles and, in the case of electric vehicles, find ways of charging them away from their homes. When

This is where autonomous vehicles come in. Why pay to own and store your own vehicle, which you might use 5% of the time, when you could hail an autonomous vehicle on demand, for less than the cost of current ride-hailing services? Owning y

I think you’ve completely missed the point of what is a very reasonable and forward-thinking signalling exercise. You cannot have sudden cliff-edges in policies (like banning the sale of new ICE vehicles) that would put thousands, if not mi

I’m sorry to hear about your experience, but have you considered that this was a reasonable outcome of a cost-benefit analysis? It’s a time-consuming and costly process to collect, review and pursue CCTV evidence. If you’re the victim of a

This is fascinating. I assume it means Cloudflare would proxy images and other assets? I assume it would have implications for tracking users, which would now impact not just Cloudflare customers but all web entities?

Who is to say ARM was “owned in the UK” prior to the SoftBank acquisition? Prior to that it was a publicly traded company, presumably with a diverse array of international shareholders.

Except the Cadbury-Kraft debacle led to major reforms in how the UK regulates foreign takeovers. In the case of Arm, the guarantees provided back in 2016 were legally binding, which is why we’re here, four years and another acquisition late

Don’t know why you’re being downvoted. I’d add that it’s a lot of work moderating and dealing with the drama that online communities tend to create. Nowadays there are also legal implications, with certain jurisdictions making you liable fo

Do you have any evidence of the former example? My understanding was that this would generate soft searches, which should not impact your score. On the latter example, would you lend vast sums of money to someone who has never demonstrated

If we’re being pedantic, Primark/Penneys is a subsidiary of ABF, which is a British company.
