    probably ur battery already formed dendrites, causing it to have micro shorts internally and thus spreading heat in the phone case. a phone with 10w charging causes the battery to heat, let alone ur galaxy s20 charging at 15w. i actively cool my phone battery while charging by putting it in front of a fan so the battery stays cool and doesn’t form dendrites, and thus stays healthy. i also use a silicon case instead of leather else u ll be thermally suffocating ur phone: it uses metal as a case material for a reason. exynos for s20 seem to be made on the 7nm process node which usually should be efficient in term of temps. even when the cpu heats up (even using the 4g antenna, let alone a 5g one when active, the camera flash, all those heats up and causes the phone case to heat up too and then a chain cycle ensues by causing the battery to heat up sponatneously too, then it dries up faster than usual which compels the user to plug the charger and the infinite cycle of heat will never end…i never owned an exynos phone but sometimes a phone need to be underpowered so it could last.samsung phones are really overperforming but unluckely their users aren’t just thermal conscious. no engineering degree is needed to have a grasp over phone thermals but sometimes having some knowledge is needed if u cherich ur phone

    idk what gaming implies but i think normal gaming is ok, on the other hand competetive gaming is absurd: 360fps@4k required, 10000dpi mouse (dafuq), optomechanical keyboard for nanosecond response lol (although i bought into one thou, didnt cost me a leg at least) …just game responsibly at 1080 at normal dps and all should be fine…also cutting on those energy drinks would be an extra. hardcore gaming is just straight consumerism. also i loathe twitch streaming…such a waste of bandwidth and resources

    In this section, the narrator explores the peculiarities of how cities are defined in the UK. Unlike other countries where city status is typically determined by population or government structure, Britain has its own unique criteria. The list of officially recognized cities in the UK includes some surprising and seemingly unworthy contenders, while notable places like London, Reading, and Northampton are mysteriously absent. Contrary to popular misconceptions, having a cathedral or a university does not necessarily confer city status. Instead, city status in Britain is granted by the monarch through personal command and letters patent. This tradition dates back to the 10th century and is the sole determinant of whether a place is officially classified as a city. The misconception that cathedrals play a role in city status stems from the historical significance of powerful church centers in small settlements. However, in the 19th century, as towns grew due to the Industrial Revolution, the rules were changed, and places like Birmingham gained city status based on their industrial importance rather than religious institutions. Overall, the criteria for city status in Britain are distinct and can be attributed solely to the monarch’s decision. 00:05:00 In this section, the narrator discusses the inconsistencies in the list of British cities and how some cities have lost their city status. The merging of Rochester with its neighbors in 1998 inadvertently removed it from the official list of British cities. However, the opportunity to regain city status came in 2000 when the government allowed towns to bid for it. Many towns submitted bids, with Reading being the favorite to win. Ultimately, three new cities were added to the list: Brighton, Hove, and Inverness. The narrator questions the advantages of being a city instead of a town, as the benefits seem minimal. The bidding process seems to benefit the government in terms of positive PR without requiring much commitment. 00:10:00 In this section, the speaker questions the government’s authority to change the definition of a city and suggests that perhaps it’s time to abandon this system altogether and replace it with something more meaningful. However, the speaker recognizes that the government has more pressing matters to address and doubts that redefining the definition of a city will be a priority. The speaker concludes that this tradition, filled with pomp, ceremony, and a bit of royalty, is a quintessentially British thing that adds to the country’s charm, and it’s unlikely to change anytime soon. The speaker humorously predicts that at the current rate, every corner of the country will become a city by the year 3000.
