A comment on my video review completely changed how I test battery life
I used to just run a gadget until it died and call it a day. Someone wrote, 'You're not simulating real use, you're just draining it. Try mixing screen-on time with standby over 48 hours.' I felt called out, but they were right. Now I do a two-day mixed-use test for every phone or tablet review. Anyone else have a better method for checking real-world battery performance?

Ever notice how we all just accept the first way we learn to do something?

@blake432 you're right, I still replace my car's cabin air filter the same awkward way my dad showed me ten years ago. Never even thought to check if there's a better method until now.
