There's a big difference between under-clocking phones with older batteries to prevent random shutoff, and what you're claiming.

And this is exactly where I feel HN had really gone downhill. The quality of the comments keeps decreasing. There’s plenty of technical information out there on the underclocking to prevent reboot issue, and years ago I would have expected this audience to be well versed in it before commenting.

All good things just come to an end, I suppose. The question is where to go instead?

The comment was quickly flagged by other users and is now dead. I'm not sure the hysteria is warranted, you're never going to find a public site where nobody ever posts anything dumb.

I find that https://lobste.rs has similar technical stories I enjoy.

Their account/comment system (a tree of trust based who invited whom to the site) does a good job of limiting drive-by negativity and other unpleasantries.

I don't have an account there yet due to being shy and not knowing many techy persons IRL I might get an invite from. (If anyone wants to invite me I'd appreciate it)

Yeah, this place is staggeringly quickly heading towards reddit clone.

Marley suggesting something akin to planned obsolescence get hive mind downvoted. Yar har capitalism and apple.

Apple releases same product for years now, them having a strategy for x years forward is not outrageous claim
