i'm the person pissed off about paying a buck to tell them that they need to spend two hundred bucks or whatever on a replacement battery couldn't you just read off the cycle count, aren't there free apps that will tell you that

geekbench has baseline numbers published for each model, and i'm assuming there's no other reason to not be hitting those on an idle device with cool ambient temperatures

i had a process for updating some configurations files that involved a macro in excel, some perl and a java program. i made it myself i don't remember why i used both perl and java, probebly because the vba thing output csv and "perl is good with text?" this was definitely back when i reinvented every wheel i could get my hands on

i once worked on a tool that relied on VBA (not vb6!) to query an oracle DB and output word documents i was tasked with porting it to mysql. which meant "optimizing" all of the oracle queries to fit inside 256 characters, the maximum string length you could pass into VBA from outside. oracle managed this by having a materialized view specially created for the tool. on mysql... well... i did a lot of "select i1,i2 from t1,t2"
