Welcome to superuser. We're not a traditional forum - we're a Q&A site, and we do things differently. This space is meant for an answer - which this isn't. This might possibly do better as a comment (you can't post one yet, and I'll convert it for you). You really do want to have a look at the help center pages for a better idea of how the site works tho

second bad answer to that same question I have seen this week
The biggest issue with this phone is that it uses USB Type-C. While I understand that Type-C is the way of the future, it means that the phone cannot use any of my existing cabling.
As such, I've purchased two USB Type-A to Type-C cables to ensure I can hook the phone up to my laptop (or this phone wouldn't even be running CyanogenMod) and that I can continue to use my existing chargers and power banks with it.
One will go with me at all times; the other is held at home as a spare.
The Nexus Imprint fingerprint reader is just absolutely convenient to have.
...and it seems that contrary to my expectations, the LITTLE cores are displayed before the big cores on the CPU monitoring app in the notification area.
> So if you're really particular about optimizing your battery's life, you should try to go from around 40 percent to around 80 percent in one go, and then back down whenever possible. A bunch of tiny charges throughout the day is your second best bet, and going from zero to 100 and then 100 to zero on a regular basis will put the most strain on your lithium-ion battery.
Basically, I'm looking for some do's and don'ts. Is it bad to keep my laptop plugged in when I'm not using it (majority of the time)? Is it bad to plug it in once I've finished using it (with it having something like 30% or 70% life left)?

We seem to be getting more and more questions and answers with really poor grammar and spelling as well. Here is a nice example. It's so bad I can't see if it actually answer the question.
Sounds like a driver got installed over the old one somehow. what device is it you are trying to access,your hard drive? If the device is not working properly, i assume because you are here asking questions, and "update drivers" doesnt help i would try to uninstall the drivers, and unplug and rep...
I think this could be an answer, but I'm not sure as it is impossible to read and so doesn't make much sense. It would be better if you paid some attention to grammar and formatting - using capital letters where appropriate and multiple sentences - instead of a long stream of words. " ;)
I'm getting fed up fixing such rubbish. Unfortunately VLQ doesn't fit.
@JourneymanGeek For color matching in manufacturing using Pantone color system.
Due to discrepancies in how monitors display colors, colors from camera etc. Pantone system with its huge database is used for matching color that I see and color that manufacturer sees.
@Hennes That's a good thing. It means the crap is being deleted faster than it can be added ;) Even so, the outstanding number of open reviews is going up - it was ~650 a few days ago and is now on 1086. We don't have enough active reviewers to get rid of the crap even faster :/ I regularly run out of my 50 close votes well before midnight :/
@Boris_yo my thoughts are if you want colors you start with a monitor that provides them first, that has a backlight with a spectrum. Ahh There is just so much wrong with IT ALL ! How do you have "better or more colors" if you use software to adjust things you already clip the range, so i hate profiles, love monitors with good color. Get everything matched up and the customers (or anyone actually paying) Wouldnt know color , if they have never seen it.
If you think those things will fix crappy color, try this, you have 2 monitors with "different" color, use expencive calibration equiptment to create a software profile, then tell me why (still) the 2 monitors will not match? Top it off with all the massive effort put into standards and math and science, and endless layers of adjustments, Never has any print on any machine ever matched any monitor ever :-)
People have put some serious work into the pannels, into the engines in the pannels, into layers of stupid software garbage that only complicates things. billions of hours of standardising and working towards achieving . . . what still seems to be a complete impossibility (for less than $10,000)
And the worst part is nobody is much complaining, so they must also neither realise what stuff goes through (all the cheap tricks), believe the complete useless monitor specs data means anything, and the largest majority of consumers is viewing on a piece of crap adjusted wrong (and is OK with it), and will never (either) print it the same way. Heck even $60,000 color copiers still cant clone what it sees with its scanner when copying.
And dont get me started on frame rates :-) Really if "man" thinks they have reproduced what the eye sees, that man must have some messed up eye brain coordination :-)
So when it comes down to it, it better look good , and on more than your own equiptment. Matching is important to give the customer what they want , and "pros" like to say "its your equiptment" :-) yea well it is everybodys equiptment, soo just be prepared to gladly Adjust stuff when people do not feel like that is the design and color they want.
And also have previously charged for any adjustments , when quoting prices, otherwise you will be working for free (and saying "its your equiptment" :-)
In my experience, it's primarily an issue with Sony devices. Most USB devices are technically non-compliant with the USB standard, relaxing parts of it for practical reasons such as for simpler charging. The key issue is that a USB device is technically not supposed to pull more than 100 mA (or 1...
@bwDraco How much of this charging fiasco would have ever existed if they had thought ahead and provided 10 amps at all USB ports from the get-go , 10 being thinking ahead to the next step .
> In short, I just don't think it's necessary for Sony to do this. Consumers don't actively look for the Certified USB logo, they simply expect their devices to charge when plugged in.
> Even a USB battery like the Sony CP-ELS will try to communicate when plugged in for charging, going so far as to present itself to a computer as a human interface device.
@JourneymanGeek USB Type-C is designed to support up to 3A of charging current. Proprietary extensions such as Qualcomm Quick Charge will drive up to 12 V over the USB physical interface, although a device that does not negotiate for the higher voltage will not get it (so you shouldn't have to worry about blowing up an incompatible device).
@JourneymanGeek Yep. What was originally intended to be a general-purpose serial bus for peripherals has become the global standard for connecting and powering electronics.
Then again, USB Type-C cables are not cheap. You need to have more wires and pins for the USB 3.0 connection, and you need thicker wiring for 3A charging.
lol, reminds me of the I-thing connector , always had an array of connections and a few unused spares for future development, the big PIG thing that it was.
However, you no longer need that many pins these days, nor do they need to be spaced this far apart these days. Serial communication protocols run much faster these days so you don't need all that many pins.
USB Type-C crams 24 pins into a connector only slightly larger than USB Micro-B.
If you look at what broadband cable pumps across a single coax, plus it can also have DC voltage over it. that one wire could have (in an alternate universe) done everything, for everything.

5V is great for charging Li-ion batteries because it's only slightly above the target charging voltage (4.2V, or 4.35V for certain batteries used in newer mobile devices). However, 5V is difficult to maintain at high currents over thin 28 AWG cabling.
In the push for higher charge rates, you wind up with 1) thicker cabling or 2) higher voltage. Qualcomm Quick Charge takes the latter approach by supplying 12V over the USB physical interface.
Note that some of the latest, most advanced chargers are able to compensate for cable resistance by slightly increasing output voltage under heavy load. My Anker PowerCore power bank does just that (they call it VoltageBoost)—when one port of the power bank is being loaded heavily, the other port's voltage may rise from a baseline of about 5.15V to as high as 5.3V.
All my micro cables are capable of 3 A with reasonable voltage drop anyway.
$18? Overpriced.
Anker 1m runs ~$10.
Tronsmart and BlitzWolf are about $5-$6
Anker cables are excellent. Tronsmart has good cables but the connectors can be a bit dodgy sometimes (wears out somewhat faster than the Anker ones, but I put a lot of stress on my cables). BlitzWolf... I've not tried their cables, but the other products are decent.
