Read about it yesterday and turned this to”feature “ off.
Sneaky bastards. Just turned it off. I hate apple
It’s a spy phone.
Chinese made, no telling what other software is on there.
This green energy thingy is nothing but superstition and virtue signaling.
Thanks! Did not know. It is off now.
There fixed it.
Charging an iPhone hurts the grid?
Seriously?
That’s like telling someone not to piss in the Pacific Ocean because it will ruin the water!
I heard they also monitor users for signs of Toxic Masculinity.
First thing to note: Soon this ‘feature’ will be MANDATED by our government (the one we keep putting in power due to so-and-so conservative not being ‘pure enough’ for us, so we let the Democrats keep winning to ‘teach the GOP a lesson’).
Second thing to note: This upcoming MANDATE will soon affect many other items, including refrigerators, washers, dryers, stoves, ovens, EVs, and much more. You wonder why there’s all this ‘smart’ stuff being sold, it’s to enable remote control of its operation - and no, you won’t be able to keep these things ‘dumb’, as they will link to your ‘smart meter’ automatically. (I know, so-and-so is a RINO)
One other comment: With phones, at least for now, you can buy ‘dumb’ battery packs and then charge the phone with them. Ironically, you’ll be both burning more energy (by having to charge a phone from a battery) and burning more carbon (since the battery doesn’t care when it charges). In the future it would be smart to buy larger and larger batteries, just to get around this crap.
I just saw this on the news, then your post.
Off…
Glad we still have the option to turn it off.
Needs a Use Coal Exclusively option.
Ping.
Turn off this option under Battery in System Settings.
Thanks.
I haven’t noticed it charging slowly but I turned it off just because it’s stupid.
I’m getting tired of digging my way out of this global warming snow that we’re having lately. There’s no way in hell that charging these phones has any effect on the environment. No frickin way. And I’m going to punch the next greenie in the nose if they claim that climate change is a real phenomenon caused by mankind.
Optional now, mandated sometime in the future.
Does anyone think that EV charging won’t be controlled by the same foolishness? When gas cars are in the junk heap, and you have an EV, the charger will be controlled by a central authority, and you will be unable to charge your car at times dictated by the all-knowing, all-powerful Energy Czars.
But the ruling elite will be able to charge whenever they want. You’ll be stuck at home.
Thanks for posting. Now off.
Clean Energy Charging = Gibberish ,LOL
Ooh, something that hurts Apple. I’m for it.
Let’s not forget how all Apple crap is made in factories owned by the CCP. Yeah, Apple spent the “investment”. But, if the local gov’mt totally controls what you do, THEY OWN YOU.
How does it control charging IN your car????
