pulicordsHas Your iPhone Been Charging More Slowly: “Clean Energy” Setting May Be The Culprit
I've noticed that my iPhone hasn't been charging sufficiently while driving. My gasoline powered car certainly isn't powered by "Green Energy"! Something else we haven't been warned about??? I guess since I've changed the setting on my phone, I'll find out soon.

This entire deal is confusing at best. From what I can glean it's not that your car isn't producing green energy, it's that the power grid where you are is producing excessive carbon which could be for various reasons. Like it's cloudy out and the solar stuff is not working, or it's not windy and the turbines are going slow, or there high demand that the alternative sources can't keep up, so the power company switches to fossil fuels so as not to interrupt power. Nice try Apple, but stupid.

JupiterThanks for the heads-up, PASig. I normally go through all the settings after an update. I forgot to do so after my last update. What a load of bullshit.

radiomanWhile changing this setting, I also noticed that the Tile app is using 30% of my battery usage.
So away it went.
