Obvious examples are countries like Russia, China, North Korea, etc. Russia specifically passed laws banning misinformation in 2020, and later fined google millions of dollars over it.
Yeah, games like DRG prove that season xp/unlocks can be fun and rewarding. But the key there is that:
- It's completely free
- You can replay old seasons anytime, so there's no cosmetics that you miss out on if you don't finish by the end of the season
Done like that, it's a fun system that gives you extra rewards for playing. But there's never any punishment for not playing enough in a fixed period of time.
That link was just specifying that there was a difference between adaptive charging on the pixel 4, and later pixels. All pixel phones from 4 onwards have it, but I'm guessing it's a pixel software specific feature.
I have a pixel phone, and it may be a pixel specific feature rather than a default android feature.
Here's Google's webpage on it.
The slower the better for battery health.
Usually slow charging is just the standard USB 2.0 output, which is 5v 0.5A (so 2.5 watts). That was all the USB standard officially supported for a long time, but many devices and chargers actually supported up to 5v 1A (5 watt) or 5v 2A (10 watt) charging. Those would usually be considered normal charging.
Fast charging has a couple different specs and voltages, but can go up much higher. My steam deck supports 45w charging, and some laptops support 65w or higher.
Slow charging is actually better for battery longevity than fast charging. For example, my phone will limit it's charging speed at night when I have an alarm set, because it assumes I won't need it until my alarm goes off, and the slower it charges the less damage is done to a battery.
In general, lithium batteries are damaged by heat. Rapid charging creates extra heat, so it's worse for the battery. Manufacturers work hard to minimize the damage of quick charging, but it's still somewhat better to slow charge when you have the time.

If steam did allow transfers this way, I can imagine it being a new type scam where people fabricate death documents to steal steam accounts.
Some people are saying this is good, but Microsoft recently changed my default search engine to bing "In case it was accidentally changed or changed by another program". I have zero faith they won't abuse this, they are becoming ever increasingly pushy about using edge and switching to bing.
I've never followed Joe Rogan, so I'm a bit ignorant here. Didn't he used to be really popular? What changed, did he become right wing or get really into conspiracies or something?
