discuss Do you have any weird tech phobias

A thread covering the latest news on trends, groundbreaking technologies, and digital innovations reshaping the tech landscape.
I tend to keep my battery charged as much as possible. I don’t like seeing my battery low.
I've actually heard that it's bad to keep it fully charged/as much charged as possible, as it reduces the battery life cycle. It can be extended by months to years if you let it drain before charging it again.
I develop unnecessary anxiety whenever my mobile phone battery is less than 20%.
That said, I don't like it below 15% unless I'm near a charger, which I typically am, so I will let it drain to 5% before plugging it in.

Had to AI-check myself, but it seems about right from what I've learned from other sources.
Yes, keeping a battery always fully charged can reduce its lifespan, especially for lithium-ion batteries, which are commonly used in laptops and phones. Lithium-ion batteries degrade faster when stored at 100% charge, so it's better to keep them between 20% and 80%.
 
I develop unnecessary anxiety whenever my mobile phone battery is less than 20%. Having a portable charger becomes essential to me because I develop anxiety when my phone reaches that battery level. The idea of losing phone connection causes me distress.
This is becoming common. The phone has become an extension of the brain. The day I forgot my phone at home, it looked as if a part of me was taken away. People around could notice that something was wrong with me.
 
I use my phone for navigation when I hike. Today it got to about 20% roughly 4 miles away from where I parked. I forgot my charging bank at home. While it would have been uncomfortable for it to die, I could still pull out a compass and paper map and find my way back.

I think it's important to have a Plan B for everything when it comes to tech so you don't get anxious about it.

But it didn't die. I put it in airplane mode and killed any non-essential app running in the background, and it was maybe 13% when I got back to where we parked.

Still got a good 6ish mile hike in, too!
