Yes, but you can no longer buy just the "complete edition". The only way to get and play zero dawn on PC right now, is to buy the bundle that also comes with a preorder of the upcoming, more expensive, remastered version.

I can only add a bundle to cart, one which includes both zero dawn and its upcoming "remastered" version. I can't buy just Zero Dawn.

Are you sure you can still buy the actual normal "complete edition" that came out on PC years ago, and not this more expensive bundle?

Welcome to Lemmy!

So your anecdotal evidence trumps everyone elses, as well as actual knowledge of the chemistry involved?

Seeing as you're unhappy with the actual answers, I'm thinking you just wanted to be agreed with.

Ok, what the hell have they created?

The charging circuit will maintain a "safe" temperature, sure, but using any battery monitor app you like, you can clearly see for yourself that when wireless charging, the phone will sit at a higher temperature during the process, than when wired charging. And every fraction of a degree matters. Not when you use the feature once, but if you do it every day, always charging at a higher temperature, it WILL shorten the lifespan of the battery. The same way every charge does, but to a slightly higher degree for every fraction of a degree in higher temperature.

The battery does not suffer as much damage from heat when discharging, or when just sitting there, not that that is good for it, either. But every extra bit of thermal strain WHILE charging, causes more damage than if it were running cooler. That's simply a fact of lithium ion batteries.

The problem is heat, not charging speed. A wired charger heats the phone less than a wireless charger, and a slow charger heats it less than a fast one.

It's not like wireless charging will literally destroy your battery instantly, but it WILL do so faster than wired charging at the same speed.

You could offset the heat by charging even slower via wireless (easy with something that has a small battery to begin with, like a watch) but no matter what method is used, the one that runs the battery the coolest WILL last the longest, whether the difference is just one year out five, more, or less.

Wireless charging WILL wear out your battery faster.

For longevity, use a slow wired charger. This will put the least thermal strain on the battery.

I agree. It always confused me growing up seeing friends with siblings whose parents would actively pit them against each other.

Every parent probably has a favorite child, but if mine do, I have no idea who it would be for either of them.
