  • Check your battery health in settings.

    iPhone 11 is approaching five years old, and Li-Ion batteries don’t have an endless lifespan. Especially if you let it get below 20% frequently. I wouldn’t be shocked if your maximum battery capacity is pretty low, and that’s just normal wear and tear.

    You could probably replace the battery at an Apple Store or certified repair shop, which would essentially make it behave like a new iPhone 11.

    There were some battery drain issues in iOS17 related to specific apps, IIRC, which have since been resolved.

    The thing Apple got sued for was sort of the opposite of increasing battery drain: slowing the performance of the phone to prevent it from shutting off while still having battery capacity. Phone battery draw isn’t smooth, it’s spiky, and they were dealing with a defective battery design that didn’t have a properly predictable voltage curve. So occasionally the CPU would require a voltage the battery couldn’t provide and the phone would turn off, even though the battery had plenty of juice. To prevent these shutoffs, they underclocked devices with older batteries.

    The problem is they didn’t really tell anyone what they were doing, at least not publicly enough.

    I doubt it. Regardless of the current stage of machine learning, everyone is now tuned in and pushing the tech. Even if LLMs turn out to be mostly a dead end, everyone investing in ML means that the ability to do LOTS of floating point math very quickly without the heaviness of CPU operations isn’t going away any time soon. Which means nVidia is sitting pretty.


  • I’m not saying the open and affirming churches don’t fight for causes and social justice.

    I’m just saying that they’re not the ones running governments and controlling rural populations. Those people don’t want to hear it. It’s just like how they abandoned Fox News for Newsmax and OAN when Fox called the election for Biden. To them, religion is a source of validation, not something to emulate or follow. They don’t want to be challenged.

    There was an article a while back about a pastor who said someone in his congregation argued with him about something he said in his sermon, which had been Christ’s own words. The congregant said, “That’s not Christian, it’s too weak.” Or something to that effect.

    There are many Christians whose faith does not involve pushing the law on others, but instead focus on the gospel and its inclusive nature.

    These aren’t the loud ones who push regressive policies. Because the ones pushing regressive policies aren’t doing so because their religion tells them to, they’re making their religion fit whatever they feel the world should look like, picking and choosing which rules to follow or ignore based on their worldview, shaping their religion to fit their bigotry. They would hate Jesus, who preached paying taxes, being generous to the needy, and accepting sinners and those despised by the establishment of the time.
