      Due to the risk of battery fires, Google said that devices with more than 400 charge cycles could see their capacity and charging speed drastically reduced.

      Apparently they design phones that’ll last just over a year before self-igniting.

      Oh well they were forced to acknowledge a problem that needed a fix and what they did was they asked Gemini how do we fix this which Gemini had zero problems at all, not even an inconvenience, in giving them it’s fix so that’s what they went with without a single further thought employed in the matter

      They really liked it when the response started with it’s super easy
