Lol um no they didn’t.

So what they call “100%” is not actually 100%. Your phone will not charge your battery to full.

Someone else mentioned “80%” when you didnt understand the first comment, but they didn’t say “all manufacturers stop at 80%” either.

You have got to be trolling at this point to be this obtuse

Your first paragraph pretty much agrees with the grandparent of this whole thread. What constitutes “max” is something that the battery manufacturer and the phone manufacturer come up with.

You said “some do this some don’t”. It doesn’t make any sense at all. All manufacturers have to decide what 100% means. There is no some do some don’t.

I’m not a battery engineer

Obviously not. Might as well stop at that then

I think you’re leaning too much into the false assumption that “the max” is some final and definite thing.

Batteries aren’t charged from “empty” to “max”, there is no “max”. They’re charged from one voltage level to another which isn’t in a percentage value. How do you think your phone knows what percentage a battery is at?

Exactly, which is neither a user setting or relatively new. Battery manufacturers have always had to decide what voltage is what state of charge (percent).

The user setting where you limit it to 80% is on top of what the previous commenter was describing

This is like spinal tap. Yeah but my phone charges to 110%. I don’t think you understood what they’re trying to say. Changing what 100% means isn’t a setting or “relatively new”

Small electric planes already exist. But yeah not passenger planes or to go any useful distance for the foreseeable future

And you can’t even zoom into the images on mobile. Maybe it’s harder than they think if they can’t even pick their blogging site without bugs

My brain fried on what a “fake letter” was.

Fake : adjective Having a false or misleading appearance; fraudulent.

Either it was on purpose or you’re not nearly smart enough to be arguing about grammar and definitions on the internet.

Also you didn’t answer my question.

It’s not imprecise at all and it’s only confusing if you deliberately misinterpret it to be pedantic.

What do you call a fake ID then?

Yeah there are obviously unfortunate cases. But to put another unsourced number out there I would say 90% of open source maintainers are employed in some way or even directly to work on that thing.

The point of bringing it up is that those people would gladly give a pass on an interview to someone they already know contributes than some random graduate they don’t know.

Well to see it from the perspective from the inside: we always have hundreds of openings, and I’ve seen openings for months and years without suitable candidates. Sometimes lots of bad applicants and sometimes no applicants at all.

That’s for the niche openings. For regular graduate stuff new people start every single day.

It’s hard to match up that with the fact that some people apparently aren’t getting a single application progressed.

It’s weird because everywhere I’ve ever worked routinely hires people who don’t even know how to make a commit, or anything at all really.

For some reason even those people are somehow jumping ahead of competent people like you in the queue. It’s also annoying for us because we have to deal with the bad ones that HR delivers.

It’s not your fault, but it sounds like you and probably a lot of other people were misled about what having a degree actually does.

The most important thing someone looks at when you apply for a job is that you are interested in the thing and capable of doing it. The degree doesn’t really do that but the personal projects do. The degree might be a nice to have on top and helps to convince some people, but you always end up working with people without one anyway.

“most” open source project contributors are looking for work? Lol ok bud

It sounds like the same amount of effort that it would take to make a really good open source project, or contribute to an existing one.

I find it hard to believe you wouldn’t get a job with something like that under your belt. Also 3000 applications is probably a bit shotgun rather than targeted and HR would be able to pick up on it
