If the number weren’t a fudge I would be more interested.
I remember when I switched from a Samsung phone to one of the first pixel phones years ago and being so angry that it did not have an option to add the number. I think the only way back then ended up being in the developer options. That phone somehow just ended up getting into a boot loop only like 4 months after getting it and they didnt respect the warranty. It was provided by work so I didnt care that much since no real loss to me, but ill never forget that impression it left on me and ill never get another pixel or google phone ever again.
What are you talking about big dog?!? Do you work for Apple? Everything you’re saying is wrong, but why?
This is like when cars went from oil pressure and temperature gauges to “idiot” lights. One let’s you see trends in situations and be prepared for maintenance, the other tells why your car broke down.
If you have a newer car, it’s worse.
Your car can say check engine and turn off a lot of features in your car if you’re external thermometer in simply malfunctioning.
Oh man, you’ve solved a problem I’ve had since childhood, trying to figure out what Stephen King meant when he was writing about “idiot lights”.
I always figure he meant the dome light or something.
All that information is available in the cluster lmfao.
There’s far more information that needs to be readily apparent to a driver than the oil pressure.
Oil pressure tells you if the engine is dying or if the Oil is breaking down or overheating. I’d take it over an RPM gage.
A lot of vehicles dont have it in their cluster menus these days.
Both, although I probably dont need the icon
I need an icon to show what the percentage refers to, i dont need an icon to visualize what that percentage means.
On. Always numbers on.
Number on and icon completely off.
I’m gonna make a thread asking, “what is a food you know?” so everyone can reply “homt dog” and I can get lots of notifications
I like to eat homt dogs on my skamtebord.
Estimating the state of charge on a lithium battery is extremely complicated and difficult. And they stopped showing the numbers earlier because they didn’t want you to see how inaccurate they were.
Nowadays, the models are better and more sophisticated, but the tradition continues.
Lithium ion batteries cannot super accurately report their own charge so the percentage isn’t necessarily digit accurate.
I am also usually just making sure it’ll get me to a place I can charge it when I actually need to worry about charge. That doesn’t usually require like the difference between say 33% and 26% for me.
I just need to be able to see if I’ve got like a fifth of battery left or less / more.
Admitedly also with the ADHD if there’s a percentage I fixate on it for no reason so it’s less annoying for me to have it off.
Same with the battery level in my e-bike. 👀 I know it’ll get me to work and back as it always does but not constantly fixating on the remaining battery is impossible.
You can absolutely accurately calculate the percentage of a lithium battery. I do so every day with solar setup I live on. Even after months floating between 20% and 80% the batteries stop charging at 99.5% and would shut off if I hit 0-1%
You just need to use a well calibrated shunt.
Always on.
Number off, it’s peaceful.
I don’t care what the # is. Even floating on tubes down the Saco River, it’s irrelevant. Full at start and can go back on charge when we finish.
What about floating down the Kennebunk?
Number on
I think the number gives a false sense of accuracy. Like using fifteen digits of pi to calculate an orbital path even though you system can’t model every mass in the system and thus have way higher variance regardless.
I am numbers on, but only because I don’t care enough to turn it off.
Number on is completely pointless if you’re taking good care of your battery. You shouldn’t be plugging it in until it’s nearly drained. It pops warnings at 20% and 10% that all I need to know. I don’t look at it otherwise.
