I finally noticed how many reviews skip talking about long-term battery life

I was reading a review for a new fitness tracker on a big tech site, and it only mentioned the battery lasted 'a few days' on a single charge. After using my old one for over a year, the battery barely holds for eight hours now. Do you think reviewers should be required to test and report on battery degradation over time?

They'd need a time machine first.

68 Ford Pinto I saw at a car show last year had a note on it from the owner saying he'd never take it back and change a thing... which always hit me as kinda crazy given how those things were built. Used to think I'd go back and fix every bad choice I ever made, big or small, but talk about unintended consequences, you know? What if fixing one little mistake keeps me from meeting the people I'm close with now? You guys kinda shifted how I see that whole thing, honestly.

Honestly, half the stuff they'd wanna go back and fix would just create new problems. Tbh, we're probably better off not messing with the past at all.
