I came across an article this morning, Do you turn off 5G to preserve your iPhone 12’s battery life? by iDB.

Last year, Apple introduced the iPhone 12 lineup. At the same time, the company also confirmed the handsets would feature 5G connectivity for faster cellular service. They did that alongside Verizon, with the carrier touting its network coverage and speeds. What they did not do, though, is tell folks that keeping 5G on would noticeably impact battery life on your new phone.

I haven’t worried about battery life at all for years now, specially with the iPhone 11, that thing was rock-solid when it came to battery life. Now that I have an iPhone 12 mini, I find myself thinking about battery life, but just a little. Then I read the article, and about 5G making an impact on battery life. Furthermore, I had no idea, you could even turn 5G off, so today I’ve learned a new thing. Then I went to compare speeds between LTE and 5G in my area. And this is what I got,

(Keep in mind, this is Idaho 😅)

There is a noticeable difference, not crazy but a difference. But also makes me think, is it worth it? I mean, keeping 5G on all the time? Does it really make a difference when it comes to day-to-day use?

Also, I don’t know how much turning 5G off would help with battery life, if at all. I guess I’ll find out today.

I think, I have found a use case for my Hey World, I have even added a New Page on my blog called Hey, to access them specific posts.

The idea will be specific posts about something I have liked on any given week or games. This is not entirely new since it’s something I’ve already been doing. I have a category for Something I Liked, which is up to volume 31 — damn! Also, one for A Game I Liked. So far, and for now, the idea is to publish these two topics on Hey World, obviously linked to my main blog.

This will definitely change my blogging workflow a little, but these two topics are not as frequent as my regular posts.

I don’t know, it seems like a cool experiment.

Stay tuned…

It doesn’t matter what app you use, what system, or where you host your site. Whether you use a static site or not. It doesn’t matter if you have images in all your blog posts or not, how big or how small. What syntax, language, cheat code or pen you use.

Just blog, it’s that’s all you want to do.

I don’t care, and it shouldn’t matter how you go about it.

Just blog.

P.S.

Twitter, does not count as blogging 😜

I believe I am not the only one that dislikes going to the dentist. I’m not sure about you all, but to me feels like a chore I am doing against my will 😅. I don’t enjoy it, I know why I must and the good that it does for me and my overall hygiene. And is always the same question that I feel like I fail to give an acceptable answer for. Have you been flossing?

😩

I loathe flossing, the sensation of a string rubbing back and forth in my gums is the worst sensation ever. I am not a fan, not at all. I know there are options out there, and I am exploring some of them. But no, no, thank you, not the typical floss.

The thing is, every time I fail to answer the question, satisfactorily to the assistant, its like I am being judged in a bad way. And they always have this whole speech of why I need to be flossing consistently. I come out of the office with the fear that I may die if I don’t floss. That my dentist, when I die, will show up at my funeral and yell,

He died because he did not floss!!!!!

Yesterday, like every Tuesday, was trash day. And thus, like every Tuesday pre-evening, I got to put the trash bins back “inside”.

I’m not sure why, but I always have the habit of looking inside the trash bin. I guess to make sure it’s empty or that it is my trash bin . Specially in days like yesterday when it gets _really _windy and every, so often the bins go down for a stroll 😅

When I looked inside, there was a small bag, like the ones used to pick up dog poop. Well, we don’t have a dog, and thus, that ain’t my poop!

Neighbors walk their dogs around the neighborhood all the time, I guess picking up the poop and throwing it in my bin it’s better than let the poop on my lawn, I guess. Which I appreciate.
