    Wait - how is Lineage supposed to mitigate this, though? It's running on the same hardware.

    It's a Google update. Lineage doesn't do Google updates.

    The whole point is that it's not safe to run it without the update, so that's actually a minus.

    never had a lithium battery explode due to old age. So, that's a myth.

    And I've never died from Covid so that also must be a lie.

    Mate has never seen a spicy pillow in his life. And above all, it's not just age, it's defective batteries.

    I have infact seen spicy pillows in my life and replaced the battery. And above all, if the battery is defective then the company has to bear the cost of replacement or explain why they sold products that can explode.

    instead you seem to indicate it's perfectly normal for the company to reduce battery life as if its their god given right to rip off customers like that.

    If you take the update notes at face value, doesn’t that imply that you might be at risk of battery overheating?

    Samsung phones exploding anyone…

    More battery issues? Seriously? I feel like this is common with these devices now, apparently.

    Unsure, but yeah. I mean we drive these devices pretty hard, and the companies are trying to make them thinner all the time, pack more hours of life more performance faster charging. None of that is really great for battery health.

    I always run my battery between 30% at the low end and 80% at the high end and it automatically stops charging at 80% and I have an alert set to tell me when it's done and I have another alert set to notify me when it gets below 30% at which point I plug it in.
