Sadly, I don't have an account on The Economist that would enable me to fully read the article you undoubtably have fully read, because you must have an account there. Clearly that would be the logical conclusion. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
Why would any sane individual trust a Chinese vaccine.. mind you the engineered the Wuhan flu to start with so.. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
They reported short term excess deaths mostly from non-vaxx and old people after they opened up. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10963212/
> The survey participants were broadly similar to the 2020 census and other national surveys in age, sex, region, and smoking status, but had lower SARS-CoV-2 vaccination rates and higher education levels. There were no differences in reporting of deaths during the Omicron period (after November 2021) versus earlier.
Their old demographic was also the lowest to get vaccinated, with some provinces having less than 50%. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10493473/
While the Sinovac is preventing a bit less against contamination rate than western vaccines (~50%) they are pretty much as effective as preventing excess death and severe cases of COVID, which is exactly what the vaccine should be about.

You are repeating the exact same old propaganda that the article is trying to expose. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
Then you won’t mind taking my word for it that it comprehensively shows that the Chinese vaccine is noticeably less effective than the Pfizer one will you? Or will you plead ignorance and deny the veracity of it on account of not being able to read it yourself? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
You would think that would give them the edge to make the best vaccine of all though........ | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
I would simply say that I cannot read that article as I don't have an account on that site. I assume you do. Or surely you would not have posted it. Presumably. I don't like to assume. Have you got an account there and have read that article? I don't know if you do or not. I do not. Therefore I cannot comment regarding that article as reference to your claims. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
So when presented with evidence, you’ll instead plead ignorance? I see.
You’re in luck.

Now let’s see what you have to say. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
No, not really, pretty much a completely separate point, even unclear whether you meant it sarcastically or completely seriously | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
Except their vaccine hadn't great efficacy because they weren't leaders in vaccine research. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
What are you complaining about, my phone reception has never been better, inject that 5G straight to my veins! | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
In your article it says that the mRNA vaccines were more effective after two jabs but had a more complex distribution chain. After 3 doses, Sinovac and mRNA vaccines were about equally effective. Among the 80+ demographic Sinovac even looked marginally more effective | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
"The estimates are subject to the usual caveats. The authors cautioned that the higher effectiveness of the third dose may in part be due to how recently it was administered. Mild infections may have also gone undetected, and links between vaccination and risky behaviour and underlying conditions also play a part. Though not as rigorous as a head-to-head clinical trial, the study provides the best evidence so far of how these vaccines do against Omicron." | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
You’re in even more luck! Here’s another one.

You want to tell us what this one says too? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
Who are you talking to? What are you talking about? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
But then why didn't they just steal the leaders research? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
Dunno, it was brand new research and hard to produce initially so I guess because it was harder to do that than try to use old techniques.
Russia also made a vaccine using older techniques that wasn't as effective. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
Firstly; who is this "us" you imagine you are speaking on behalf or enquiring on behalf of.
Secondly; enjoy your faith in whatever it is you believe about that.
I have neither the time nor inclination to discuss the significance of environmental variables, or the selectivity of paid for research papers. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
So you think the Singapore National Centre for Infectious Diseases and Ministry of Health is a “paid for research” paper? Yet, you have the time and inclination to either throw out obvious nonsense that there aren’t disparities in the vaccine type whilst parading your ignorance about the issue despite the plethora of evidence out there?
My work here is done. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
>Data is not propaganda.
>Through phony internet accounts meant to impersonate Filipinos,
Impersonating Filipinos to spread this information doesn't't classify as propaganda in your opinion?
If the data is true, why not educate the Filipino population through official diplomatic channels and mass media? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |

In terms of per capita death among all developed countries, US and Canada are the highest at 1100 per 100k population
https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
So Hungary , Slovakia, Georgia, Lithuania, Romania, Peru, Czechia, and Montenegro are not “developed countries”?
I think you read your own link wrong. Or you’re only looking at the chart showing 20 nations. Look at the full list and Sort it by deaths per 100k, and you’ll see the countries I listed (plus plenty more) clearly above the USA.
Also, they must be using Russias (blatantly fake) official numbers.
Edit: this quote from your post:
>US and Canada are the highest at 1100 per 100k population
Is also a lie. according to your own link that number is 341 per 100k for the US. Canada is much lower at 135 per 100k. Did you not read your own link? Why make shit up and then give me a link showing you’re wrong? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
> You make it sound like most countries didn't ultimately enforce some form of lockdown.
Big big difference between mandating some businesses close down and govt employees *physically disabling your door*.
> Sure, there are plenty of people out there in the world that would rather tortue disabled and elderly people than be inconvenienced for a moment in their life.
Incredible hyperbole. Let me try some:
Have you ever driven a car? If so, I guess you like risking KILLING someone just so you can get somewhere quicker. What an asshole that makes you, huh? Is walking just too inconvenient for you? How selfish.
> Again, drawing parellels to blackouts during wars. You would've directly gotten people killed because of your insufferable stupidty.
1: big difference between “turn your lights out after dark” and “we’re going to make it *physically impossible for you to leave your home*”
2. Big difference between “if we don’t do this, Nazis might conquer the globe” and “if we don’t do this, it will somewhat hamper our ability to fight a disease with a fairly low mortality rate, which we ended up beating anyway.”
So you can keep making that analogy if you’d like, but it doesn’t really hold up to scrutiny. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
He already linked the data and it in fact proves his claim was wrong lmao | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
Because their misinformation campaigns are verifiably more involved and damaging than this and we never get this type of backlash. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
I'm not sure Biden does this to an ally though. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
Yep. Was here in Vietnam through the pandemic as well (am still here), and this is exactly the case, except that it was the politicians who first got the US vaccines, with older folks getting g them afterward.
My staff outright refused the Chinese vaccine, as did a lot of local folks. The provincial government finally got a supply of European vaccines that people were willing to accept. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
The point it two wrongs don't make a right. We need to hold ourselves to higher standards. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
Unfortunately the only way to fight fire is with fire in this situation. People love to dunk on America, but they are largely the only thing keeping China and Russia at bay globally. You would not want to live in a world where either of those countries assumes the role of global leader. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
Lol.
US establishment is at play. It doesn't matter who the face is. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
Who the heck trusted anything from China unless you were really desperate? I wouldn’t even buy a dog toy that’s made in China. And I’m sorry, why is this such a scandal when there were thousands of videos about the distrust of vaccines at the time ? I only remember reading that the Chinese government forcing their citizens to take their own vaccines while foreigners can take Pfizer. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
1100 per 100k would be the case fatality rate of ~1.1%. With that the US is slightly better then Canada but a lot worse then other developed nations, Germany and France are at around 0.4%. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |

I have been reading The Verge for as long as I can remember but much more frequently I get to read articles that are... debatable. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
It’s becoming a lot more opinion based. Instead of factual based. I guess what may have happened here is what happened to Vox.
All the original people that made Vox great moved on to their own public careers with their own YouTube channels. Cleo Abrams, Johnny Harris, Joss Fong, and more.
So I guess now you have a lot less talented people as replacements. That don’t really have anything meaningful to say.
Between the folding iPad, password app and RCS articles. That’s 3 opinion pieces that are completely off base in 24 hours. I’m gonna check if it’s all written by the same person lol
Edit: just checked. That’s 3 people that are completely making bs opinion pieces. Or we got a James Jonah Jameson wannabe now being the chief editor at the verge with a rage boner for Spider-Man (Apple).
Or they are now just turning to rage bait articles to drive viewership. Which alone is really sad to see. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
Cross platform ones will survive. But this will definitely have impact on every one of 3-d party managers.
Having said that, from Apple user point of view not much changed, especially for Safari users. Keychain already did 99% if what this new app does. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |

KeePass is great, I used it with a free tier of DropBox for a long time.
But sadly it’s not that user friendly. That’s why I moved my company over to Dashlane, because every user is easily able to set it up on a new browser.
That’s the part I’m actually paying for.
Compared to Apple Keychain or its successor, it’s basically the same, but with the difference of being complete inability to install it on many platforms.
TLDR: if you have basic computer abilities and a reason to use OpenSource, it’s great. Otherwise, use one that’s not bound to OS (or a big data company either)
Fun Fact: with the last minor update, Dashlanes integration in iOS has become far more convenient. Seems like they accept it, instead of trying to make it harder to use. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
For me Bitwarden is here to stay. I have a MacBook Pro, a Chromebook, an Android phone and a Windows laptop. Apple's password app is not gonna help me out. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
Unless they make a Firefox extension, no. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
I use Apples password system in paralell with bitwarden on my phone, iPad and occasionally ma, the few times it pops up more conveniently. But bitwarden works on ALL my devices and browsers and generally more convenient as well. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |

Good luck. I couldn’t get Apple’s password app how woo at all on Windows 10. It installs and just sits there and never connects or opens or anything you try to do with it. 1Password works great cross platform. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-17-06 |

You won’t see the effect over days or months. It’s a form of long term damage that occurs over years of abuse. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
In general: Yes.
Some phones however have built in functionality that won't charge them above 80% until it's almost time the phone usually gets off the charger (just after your alarm went off for example).
Always keep your phone between 20 and 80% | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
Now see I've always heard you're supposed to let it fully drain to 0% or maybe 5% or lower before plugging in. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
Nope, that's just when trying to calibrate it. I don't believe that is necessary anymore these days at all but I could be wrong about that. If it is still, then it will only be a once in a long time thing. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
That's very confusing. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
thats not how it works. it is true that a battery degrdes faster at 100% than 80%. But cycling it back n forth is worse. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
What part? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
You are blatantly wrong 😂 One google search will give you the same answer that I said. Shows that you are talking about a topic that you know nothing about. L Bozo. It’s common since really, something you are lacking here | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
I'm a materials science engineer.
People get really worked up over this one. The short answer is many things cause damage to a battery, but charging past 100% doesn't cause very much damage. It's like saying you shouldn't go running because it's bad for your knees.
The absolute worst thing you can do in everyday life for a battery is allow the charge level to fall to 20% or below. The amount of capacity used, in this case 80%, is called the depth of discharge (DOD). A DOD of 80% is considered a deep cycle and can rapidly degrade the materials of a battery -- it's much, much worse over time than charging past 100%.
Many people routinely subject their devices to deep cycles, but it doesn't get nearly the same amount of attention as other minor sources of degradation. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
That was ages ago for the older batteries. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
Use the app AccuBattery | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
We used to drain batteries when you first got a new phone as to avoid a battery memory. Old Lithium batteries needed to be drained first or they would never charge to full capacity. So if you only let your battery go down to 20% when you first got it and started charging it. Your battery would think 20% was the bottom of the well. So the you would only have 80% battery capacity for the life of that battery.
Modern power supplies are not made the same way anymore. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
Really? I've never heard that related to lithium-ion batteries. Perhaps other types of older batteries like Ni-cad or Ni-mh, but that does not apply to cellphones. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
Pretty sure they do. Also, think it was Mr Brownlee that said this, 100% can be calibrated based on the age of the battery. So an older battery’s 100% could be around 80% or 90% of when it was new.
I don’t think 100% is ever exactly 100% of the battery’s capacity. In phones at least anyway. Happy to be corrected | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
I think the intent was the phone is left on charge after it reaches 100%. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
Not going to downvote because you're wrong, but you really should do more reading on the subject matter related to your job. Your beliefs are decades out of date. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
No, it's called a smartphone for a reason, they know they're fully charged and enter "trickle-charge" mode. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
Fuck, 38% and even though I have a charger next to me didn’t think it mattered. Plugging in now | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
but what if I charge it to 80% and charge it at 15%, DOD is smaller so it's better? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
I give it my all and charge mine to 110% | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
Nothing special about 100% or “past 100%”.
Once you get to 100% on the indicator, you probably aren’t actually at 100% charge on the battery and there is a little further you can charge it - but get to that point and the charging stops. You can’t actually charge past 100% of the battery’s life. You’ll be doing some damage to the battery because of being well past 80% and possibly for a longer time if you left it plugged in - but that’s the reason, it’s not something special about the 100% mark on the indicator.
Really it’s 80% that you should aim to avoid spending much time past (also lower charge levels, see aggravatingsalad’s post on this). If you have a newer phone with a good battery I’d recommend you usually unplug at about 80%, and save fully charging for when you really need it (e.g. a long day out where you won’t be able to charge), I do this to optimise battery life. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
100% on the indicator isn’t actually 100% charge on most phones. But that aside, you can’t charge past 100% of the actual battery capacity. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
What about laptops? I have a gaming laptop from asus and as you might know gaming laptops come with a relatively lesser battery life and it is usually advised to play games having the laptop plugged in.
I have also read that PCs now come with software that prevents overcharging and switches the power supply directly to the hardware once the battery is charged to 100. I have bought my laptop recently and do not want to fuck it up already. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
DOD is relative to 100% SoC | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
I work from home so it’s not all that impractical for me to keep my phone on my desk plugged into a charger most of the day tbh. I will start doing that then if it doesn’t do any harm as always nice to have a full battery (well 80% as I set it to stop there) when I get up and leave the house. Cheers! | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
Quick extra question then… you say it’s best to keep it as close too 100% at all times. So what’s the point of the 80% charging limit starting to appear in newer phones and that has a thing in laptops for a while now? Is it better to set that charge limit or not? 🤔 | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
Thanks for this. I always heard you should let your batteries get super low sometimes because it was better for them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
We were always told that only using a little battery, then charging, would degrade the capacity.
And it was better for the battery to use it from fully charged to fully discharged (or close to it) before charging again. Full charge/discharge cycles rather than frequent "topping off" (or leaving the device plugged in all the time, like a laptop in a docking station). | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
Didn't the advice used to be you wanted the full deep cycle on batteries or they end up not have the full battery life? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
And defeats the purpose of having a battery at all | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
Don't most devices also have hardware level safeguards against over charging? At least consumer computing devices. And probably also cars.
I haven't been worried about over charging my phone or laptop since like, 2016. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
Yea, that's the advice I heard. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
I believe googles is the same way, but the "shortcut" it takes is to tie it to your alarms if one is set. If you have an alarm it will use that time as your wake up time. If not, then it has to do the same learning. IDK if iPhones would do the same to an alarm. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
Yes, but that was for a different battery chemistry, specifically NiCad batteries. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
My (seemingly incorrect) working knowledge for batteries (primarily found in phones) has been that deep discharges are bad, but keeping a batter near or at full capacity is also not great.
The crude explanation was that the closer to 100% it gets, the harder and harder it is to actually charge it without causing damage (which is why charging slows down typically past ~70-80%).
Is this not the case, or are you more just highlighting that pitted against each other, deep discharge is worse than having a battery at 100% frequently?
I think the other reason I’ve “known” 100% to be less than ideal is because it’s often combined with load on the phone (think GPS) so there’s a bunch of heat being generated while it’s charging which also generates heat. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
It still doesn't work great tbh. I just got a pixel 8a and it was the first phone with this feature. I would wake up to my alarm different days to the phone being at 70/85/45% charge levels it never once properly charged the phone. I turned off the feature and now get 100% every time. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
The reality is that modern electronics have built-in battery management, so the battery never actually charges past 100%. It just stops charging when it's full.
As for discharging, I've always just made a habit of putting my phone on the charger when I go to bed each night. Even after 4 years, it's still not getting much below 50% in a days use. Sometimes only 30%. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
Samsung actually lowered the cap from 85% to 80%. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
Both cause damage, but deep discharges are worse than continuing to charge at 100%. Many phones have software that limits how much charge is sent to a battery near 100%, so this isn't really an issue.
That said, another variable is that people might use a charging cable that's not rated for their device. For example, if you have a laptop and phone that both use a USB-C charger, then you can also damage your phone by using the laptop charger for it. This happens a lot by using charging cables for phones that are cheap (ex: an unknown brand on Amazon), but more importantly, not rated for your specific phone. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
