Well, I was almost a music major.

Right there with you.

More specifically, it's because purple fires your red and blue cones, but not the green one. Normally, as green is between red and blue, anything that would trigger those two also would trigger green. So when it doesn't, that's when your brain goes "well I guess it's not green???"

Wow it's almost as if when there's a term that actually covers multiple different operating systems, there's going to be variations in quality between them! Imagine that!

This is going off my memory of an explanation I read a while ago, so I could be off on the fine details, but I believe it's one of those things that devs do indeed have the option to do, the vast majority are just lazy as shit (I'm well aware this is likely a management decision, not he individual devs themselves in most cases) and don't want to add anything that wouldn't be useful on both android and ios

That's a helluva run-on sentence but I'm too lazy to fix it.

You're more than welcome to buy one of the many phones that comes with stock android without added bloat

IIRC, it has something to do with the fact that purple sort of doesn't actually exist. As I understand, purple is basically your brain going "idk wtf it is but it's not green"

It's called RGB because there's a red, green, and blue diode. Not sure how that's not a logical name.

I've got some really bad news about the porn industry if you don't think it's evil.

Obviously that'll be true with battery packs too. They're also significantly cheaper, so it's usually fairly reasonable to have multiple and them being at 50% capacity doesn't matter nearly as much.

Long term, keeping your phone at 80% and having battery backups charged is going to be your best bet, assuming having having said battery backups is reasonable for you. It won't take long for your 100% to suddenly be what 80% was when the phone was new.

If/when a situation happens where you need it, you can charge up to 100% no problem off the backups.

Same here. Battery still feels like new nearly 2 years later, and I use it as a GPS damn near 40 hours a week on top of normal usage. I like to run my phones into the ground these days, and the battery is almost always the first to go. Looks like I'll be getting at least another 3 or 3 years out of this one.

In a word? Capitalism
