Notes
gollark: > so dumping a shit ton of current to the 80% mark (which is usually close to nominal) isnt bad for itWouldn't the battery get pretty hot, which might be a problem?
gollark: Right now the solution for fast-charging phones seems to just be to dump ridiculous amounts of power into the batteries, which seems kind of bad?
gollark: Supercapacitor-based phones would be neat, if they can get them to about the same energy density as current stuff somehow.
gollark: I think right now degrading batteries are a significant issue.
gollark: I mean, most of these "smart"er cars probably have wireless features of some sort, and probably zero budget spent on security.
