If this is supposed to be some kind of contradiction to me saying watts, then obviously you need to integrate it over time and arrive at the total used. It was just an example of how something could take longer but use less in total, not a detailed description of how a drier works. But thanks anyway

Well ok but that’s not really what you said. So yes I can’t understand because you are bad at communicating

1. That makes no sense because if it’s on for twice as long but uses less than half the watts then it doesn’t lose any savings does it.

2. You sit and watch the machine when it’s on? Do you do the same thing with your dishwasher? Mine takes 5 hours but if it took 20 it literally wouldn’t be an issue

Skill issue

How is the phrase “why is it allowed at all?” Not implying a ban. Pearl clutching intensifies

You want to ban sea sickness tablets? Libs really will jump to ban anything

Lol um no they didn’t.

So what they call “100%” is not actually 100%. Your phone will not charge your battery to full.

Someone else mentioned “80%” when you didnt understand the first comment, but they didn’t say “all manufacturers stop at 80%” either.

You have got to be trolling at this point to be this obtuse

Your first paragraph pretty much agrees with the grandparent of this whole thread. What constitutes “max” is something that the battery manufacturer and the phone manufacturer come up with.

You said “some do this some don’t”. It doesn’t make any sense at all. All manufacturers have to decide what 100% means. There is no some do some don’t.

I’m not a battery engineer

Obviously not. Might as well stop at that then

I think you’re leaning too much into the false assumption that “the max” is some final and definite thing.

Batteries aren’t charged from “empty” to “max”, there is no “max”. They’re charged from one voltage level to another which isn’t in a percentage value. How do you think your phone knows what percentage a battery is at?

Not really

Exactly, which is neither a user setting or relatively new. Battery manufacturers have always had to decide what voltage is what state of charge (percent).

The user setting where you limit it to 80% is on top of what the previous commenter was describing

This is like spinal tap. Yeah but my phone charges to 110%. I don’t think you understood what they’re trying to say. Changing what 100% means isn’t a setting or “relatively new”

Right but a slider doesn’t ruin it for anyone though does it

I’ve worked in and run my own game companies. The request for a slider isn’t based in any kind of misunderstanding about how it would be implemented.

For your example in tetris it would be a global multiplier on the speed. The speed would still increase by the same rate but the actual speed is always multiplied by some constant.

The Tetris speed is already multiplied by a constant anyway even if the difficulty isn’t exposed. And this constant has to be picked by a designer. All I’m asking for is to expose it with a slider. There is pretty much always a constant like this in any game

Your attitude lacks empathy and my attitude is “entitled”

Who decided that only things that are public services need to be accessible? Why is everyone latched onto that like it’s a given.

If your a dev and you have x hits to kill thing x and you don’t put in a tiny bit of extra effort to multiply that by a difficulty slider “because of art” then I’m going to say you’re a bit of a dick.

Games are barely art anyway. Most are just a toy that you play with for a bit to waste some time

For a game where difficulty is based on reaction time then it is accessibility. Your whole page of arguments is based on that ableist assumption and doesn’t hold up.

Food and cafe is just an extreme example, you don’t have to discredit the idea based on the specifics of a cafe. It was supposed to make you think about the problem from the perspective of someone who feels excluded which you didn’t do. You just used to to further your agenda with emotive language like “bad and damaging”. It’s a little bit pathetic actually when all people are asking for is a slider

There are plenty of places that aren’t essential that are accessible just to be inclusive. A theatre for example.

I’m not even disabled and I struggle with games without a difficulty slider. I can’t imagine to be actually disabled and excluded just because someone’s ego prevents them from adding a single slider to their game.

“it’s my cafe, my creation, and I don’t like disabled ramps. I just want to make good food and I don’t have to please everyone”

Seems a bit unfair to me
