An update from a previous Android version to a newer one borked the battery life. It's been noticeably worse than when new. It has times when it just heats up because the CPU is going better, but the actual load is minimal.
It's done because this phone has battery saving features, like you can set it to only charge up to 80%. Over time the max battery life has taken a moderate hit. It's not that it's not tolerable, it's just that I wanted to refresh. Also I kind of messed up my headphone jack, I thi k the ground contact broke, and I already ordered the replacement parts so I want that installed anyway, so I might as well put in a new battery.
I mean, aside from foldables, why should I buy a new phone if nothing's changed much. Most new Android releases seem to make me dislike something here and there.
I've had this phone for about a year and a half now, I'm going to take it to a phone repair place and swap out the battery for a new one, then it will be just like new
So I think I was pretty tired when I wrote that. But in case I wasn't clear, I meant that I don't like the thought of countries, such as North Korea, who are only relatively stable, in possession of nuclear arms.
I really was not talking about the United States. We have our own issues, but I don't think we're about to start any nuclear wars on a whim. Yes our politics are pretty screwed up at the moment, but I don't see it as likely that any yahoos, like that bodily fluids air force guy in Dr. Strangelove, can just start a nuclear exchange.
No, I don't think the US is going to give up it's nukes anytime soon, there's lots of politics in play, and half the point of NATO is that it's under the protection of the US nuclear umbrella.
By dictatorship I mean a government with extreme accumulation of government, and usually military, power in less than a handful of individuals with ineffective or even lack of democratic elections.
Edit: so what's up with all the N. Korean defenders here???
It seems silly, but it could indicate that he is either taking care of himself now, even he can't get enough food, or he is sick. All of this could have implications for the Kim regime and their relationships with the external world.
Best case scenario is a slow and steady retreat from dictatorship into a more democratic governance model. I don't think that'll happen, but I don't feel too chipper about a relatively feeble and economically and politically unstable country purchasing any nuclear arms at all.
I'm waiting for a Sony Xperia foldable. Hamburger style obviously.
