Junk Drawer Phone as a Music Streaming Server

Becoming a spicy pillow is the inevitable fate of almost all small lithium electronics batteries. Keeping them in the 60-80% range will slightly help extend life, but that's about it, unfortunately.

I've been using "al dente" on my new laptop to keep the battery charge maxed out at 80% and hopefully extend the life of my battery.

If you have root, that's easy to do on Android as well. Honestly, it's one of the like three things that I root for these days

My Samsung has this option, it's called Protect Battery, but I still need to turn it off to get through flights and other fun events.

Thank you. I've never heard of this option, I just enabled it.

> spicy pillow

British English speaker here. I've not come across that expression before. The "pillow" part seems obvious, but not "spicy". What am I missing?

Thanks. I suspect my brain is just too old to understand meme formation.

Battery fires are a genuine danger if a lithium ion battery at a high state of charge suffers physical damage.
