I have a Fairphone 4 and the battery is now at seventy six percent or so. I’ve been trying to have a conversation with Gemini about the state of the battery. In so doing I started with the question about replacing the battery but I soon moved on but AI, due to me mentioning a battery replacement is now object fixated.

I see that the drop was quite drastic, all of a sudden, after the battery dischanrged yet again to zero percent. It’s worth highlighting that this is a spare phone, just to experiment and stay familiar with the OS. As a result the battery regularly discharges completely if I leave it too long.

The first thing I would look at is the quality of writing and the quality of information. Are we reading articles that are clickbait, that have little content of substance and being little of value? Are we reading a guardian long read article that has been researched over days, weeks or months? Are we in the living room with family around providing us with distractions or are we in bed reading a book before sleep?
