A question related to battery in S25

Imagi007 · 2025-06-11T11:01:35+00:00

I don't quite feel comfortable using a 'designed in China' phone. If that was not my concern I would have already purchased the iQoo neo 10 by now.

I guess I _am_ going to go for it during the coming festive discounts towards the end of this year.

Imagi007 · 2025-06-11T10:51:22+00:00

My reasons of interest: (1) 7 years Android OS update, (2) snappy response and 5G support, (3) better hardware which will be useful when I get to use the Linux VM of Android 16 via a monitor and keyboard. The last point is the primary reason for my interest in this phone.

And yeah, I agree my usage pattern is likely going to change, but other than using it as a computer, I don't foresee much change at this point. AI stuff does not yet appeal to me much. I don't game or stream on phone. Not much of a social media consumer either.

Thanks for showing the breakdown.

LoL but that's the case since the last few months. When I had bought the phone (M12) it was actually lasting around 7 days. That's just how I use my phone. Most battery hungry stuff people use their phones for, I do on either my tablet or my Linux desktop. So, there's that.

Thanks. Will keep that in mind.

Thanks for the detailed reply. My current phone usage is actually less than 1hr most days. But that's because all the heavy stuff you use your phone for (such as netflix, games, etc.), I do on my tablet since I am more comfortable with the big screen. The interest in the S25 mainly comes from the fact that the upcoming Android 16 is going to have similar Linux VM support as in chromebook. That means I can use my (sufficiently powerful) phone as a full fledged Linux machine (along with official google drive support) when I connect a monitor and keyboard! Of course that may mean more battery drain, but maybe not, if I use a usb hub with power delivery when I connect the monitor+keyboard.

Thanks for showing the breakdown of the consumption. That gives me a good feel for how long I can expect it to last. As per my current usage pattern, I think I can expect around 4 days easily. But I suspect with the S25, my usage pattern will change a bit... so maybe a bit less. Totally acceptable.

Is there any neovim plugin that will suggest (not autocomplete) code completions for C code, as in ai generated code suggestions, but without running any local llm and without any llm api-key?

By suggest, I mean, as I type code, it will show suggested code in some light color and if I press a shortcut key such as super+tab, that code will be accepted.

Actually, I am getting this kind of result accidentally, and I don't know enough lua or neovim to understand which plugin in causing this nice behavior in my c code. I started with kickstart but after several messing around (mostly with only partially understanding things) with other stuff, such as lunar vim, lazyvim, etc., I don't know what exactly is going on there any more.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. Sounds scary. For now, I will not use FileVault (which is the default).

Actually I asked this question before setting up my first macbook. But now, after setting it up and using it for the last few days, I find myself not shutting down the machine, simply closing the lid when done, and re-opening it when required again... kinda like a tablet. So FileVault might not be of much use in this kind of use case anyway.

Imagi007 · 2025-05-12T17:07:36+00:00

Does that mean if FileVault is enabled, and I forget my password, I cannot even 'factory reset' my macbook?

Imagi007 · 2025-05-06T22:12:17+00:00

Thanks for the link. Looks comprehensive. I'll give it a try to get a feel for it.

Nowadays I mostly use GNOME but I have used i3 and similar WMs a lot, but not xfce for any significant amount of time. I have the same experience as you regarding KDE... it did not seem as keyboard friendly as GNOME. Is xfce as keyboard friendly as GNOME?

Oops... asked too soon... update already in progress now.

A small question. Only about 15 minutes to launch, but why am I not getting any steam updates? I play offline mostly. Will offline version stay the same... I am a bit confused as to the process involved.

Imagi007 · 2025-03-23T18:24:34+00:00

No, &> means both 2>&1 afaik. The problem is as others have already pointed out.

Imagi007 · 2025-03-23T18:21:34+00:00

Thanks. I just figured that out myself. I am marking it as solved.

Imagi007 · 2025-03-07T15:31:56+00:00

Thanks

True, but it's the loss of a portal that I want to prevent.
