allisonmy iphone insists on telling me that if i'm charging from my laptop's USB-A port, I'm using a "slow charger." i dunno, keep your opinions to yourself man. maybe you're just bad at charging, did you think of that. "waaaah i'm only getting 500mA" entitled little asshole
MrGrumpyMonkey@aparrish I have a power adapter [multiple of them] that cannot fully charge the mobile device to %100 percent while it is powered on. I'm always happy to turn that thing off for 30 minutes to an hour. I just wish it wasn't so convenient. I have a computer in my pocket, but it's a terrible design. I always bring my laptop to work with me, so I get an far better compute experience. But it helps when I cannot communicate with someone who doesn't know English... To that, I'm grateful for the thing.
eclexic@mrgrumpymonkey @aparrish you know, having a charger that is unable to force your phone to 100% I would consider a feature. That charger has got to be awesome for battery health.
Unplug it around 80-90%, or whenever you get to it and find it can't charge more, and go on with your day.
Most battery wear happens in that 90-100% range of charging, or in the 10-0% discharging. It generates more heat to use the battery in those conditions. Fast charging does the same.
