Quote from: Neenyah on May 23, 2024, 12:09:22heffeque, please don't get any of this wrong, I'm not "targeting" you as I respect you a lot as a fellow forum user here. I am just madly curious why is that 95743898234759832472653872 hours of work on a single charge something that Apple users boast about so proudly, like everything they do every single day is walking through Sahara desert and working at the same time so they simply have to be able to work 15 hours on one single charge.
Non-taken.
Your comment does take a very
American point of view of work. You might not be, but it sounds like it as per the exploitation working conditions that you are describing (not once you mentioned any situation that wasn't considered exploitation in Europe).
"Do they really travel and work at the same time 10+ hours per day without any breaks to even eat something and rest for 10-20 minutes?"I don't know where you took this from, but nobody said such a thing.
I'd personally love to not have to take the charger with me when I travel: less weight, less clutter, less worrying if I forgot the charger somewhere when leaving a place.
"If they drive how do they work on their laptop at the same time? Why is their laptop even running if they are behind a wheel?"Again very American. It's super-comfortable to work on a train. No need to be on a car all day. I know trains are barely used compared to other countries. Trains do have plugs, but again: less weight, less clutter, less preparation time, less probabilities of forgetting the charger somewhere, less storing time... in summary much more convenient: take the laptop out, open it, work instantly, close it, store your laptop, done. Flights are not as comfortable as trains, but some work can be done before boarding (I personally don't recommend working during the flight).
If they don't drive what do they use to travel to be unable to charge the laptop in that vehicle as they work while they travel? A rickshaw? Macs can charge 50% in 40 minutes and 50% is roughly 5-9 hours of use, soooo... Again: I don't want to take a charger with me when I travel. It's not the inability, it's the convenience.
Is it just continuous 10+ hours work?Nope, it might not even be my work laptop. I can do a 5 day trip around Norway to see several clients, and use my personal laptop 2-3 hours a day when not working. Not everything is about working with the laptop 10+ hours per day.
Sounds like exploitation, worse than miners in coal minesYup, your examples do sound like exploitation. There are many options where great working conditions also lead to want very long battery times. Heck, even non-working related options where long battery hours are a big plus. But I guess that it's hard to imagine depending on where one lives and the day-to-day situations one's encountered.
