  • On a Phone, people are already conditioned to have their phone work all the time, no matter what you do to it, and there is an advertised Maximum Battery Capacity.

    People don’t do the 80/20 rule on Phones because that’s outrageous to them.

    But EV Manufacturers have built in the 80/20 rule into their cars. When you do long distance EV trips, the Route Planner will automatically tell you where the next charger that you will arrive at 20%-ish battery capacity will be and route you there. And the car will stop charging itself at 80% and you’ll be ready to go.

    Phones on the other hand, tell you “Hey moron, I’m at 30% you should charge me!” And most phones don’t have a Battery Protection setting to cut charging at 80% (Samsung added this about a year ago to their phones)









  • The Zune is actually quite serviceable in 2023. I saw a video of someone modifying one to take a Micro SD Card, a Bluetooth Chip and a bigger battery! I don’t think there are any modifications to the Operating System you can do, but the Bluetooth off and on is actually piggybacking off the Wifi Switch for power to the BT board.
