Loved the concept of the video: in our desks and pockets we have powerhouses that are underused. I think the solution proposed is too convoluted though as you can get to similar results with Termux without root.

And to those who mention the battery issue, there're ways to address this problem without the need of a physical mod. Just a few suggestions here:

  • Samsung and Pixel have options to limit battery charge to a certain percentage
  • If you root the phone they're quite a few apps or Magisk modules that will limit charge
  • If you have a smart plug you can turn on/off the charger based on your battery through a bash script, home assistant etc
