What part is the myth?

Which batteries are “high quality”?

Cause it happens… Pretty regularly if you’re not limiting charging. The older the battery the more likely.

This isn’t something you should fuck around with either: if it pops it’ll burn too hot to extinguish and could take out your house.

Because over time the battery degrades, swells, and becomes a fire risk.

Keeping it only 80% charged can help mitigate it but not fully.

… Which makes it even less credible legally.

Unless you’re getting C-suite level emails saying they’re not going to do it, don’t trust them.

And even then you should be ready to sue.

11 years? Nevermind use the laptop for sure haha

You’ll probably save money in the long run using a pi.

I’ve got a little raid 5 8tb server under my desk that I just use locally to fuck around with/VPN back into my house/store larger backups on.

I’d never want to be using it to host anything like a website or service, so I’m always curious what the web hosters have and pay.

How much does a vps cost running your matrix client? It can’t be more than a couple bucks a month right?

Yeah that works. Who is the leader and how does it change? Does Lemmy.World take over because it’s largest?

Consensus algorithms. But it means there will always be duplicate work.

No way around that unfortunately
