1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

To make a long story short: I constantly leave my phone in its dock on my desk when it's not in my pockets when I'm away. Essentially, it spends 99.9% of its time plugged in.
This is now the third time I swap its battery because it ends up being badly swollen.
Some will try to convince me that I shouldn't leave it charging all the time. But, the electronics are supposed to be monitoring and cut off the power when the battery's fully charged.
What's your story? Would you blame this bad experience on the fact that it's left plugged in 24/7?

Mine gets charged when it gets low - below 20% normally - and sits there off charge the rest of the time, and I've never had a swollen battery.
I'd check the dock: is it cutting off charge at the right time, or just trickling too much into the phone?

I didn't know any current phones had replaceable batteries.
I had two Motorola Droids which I would charge all night, both developed battery life issues. So my current phone (Motorola One) I charge only when the charge drops to 20% or while I'm driving.
Oh, something I also consider is to put the charger on a timer and let the phone charge for no more than an hour each night.

Who knows, I'd say it depends on how "aggressive" the charging circuit is in terms of maximizing energy storage vs lifetime. Li-ion batteries don't really like it when they're charged above 3.92V, but a common limit (for consumer electronics) is 4.2V, which is really significantly more energy. If the charge level of 4.2V is rated at 100% (as would likely be the case), then stopping below 3.92V would cost you about a third of that, leaving it around 65% charged max. Time spent at voltages above 3.92V slowly degrades the cathode (faster for higher voltages).
Leaving the battery plugged in, leaves the voltages above 3.92V for more time, maybe even all the time.
"Overcharging" in the sense of charging above 100% should be impossible thanks to the battery charging circuit, but long-term degradation happens significantly below 100%.

I am convinced nay is the answer. I've got a Note 8 that still has decent battery life, and goes a full day for me between charges. Got my dad an S9 and he leaves it on the charger all night and complains about battery life.

Cell phones don't generally have battery management. What you're seeing is the heat damage of the anode in a lithium ion battery that is constantly being charged to the maximum followed by a small discharge. Heat is the single biggest cause of early charge cycle death for LiOn batteries.
This is also why all EV manufacturers recommend charging to only 85 or 90% of the battery capacity for normal, daily driving.
Some phones, such as high end Samsung Galaxy and Note phones, have a software limiter that limits charging to 85%. If you have one of these, set it. Your phone battery will last a lot longer.

I always charge my phone (Samsung) overnight which is about 8 to 9 hours. Occasionally I forget and the next night its down to about 40%.
So I've not noticed any battery degradation.

For my GitHub MaxiBug project, a multi-user version of MiniBug, I am trying to create a free Heroku Postgres database.
This along the lines of this C# Corner article[^].
Creating a database works, but I can't seem to create any tables using the "Dataclips" section, not even after using:
set transaction read write;
CREATE TABLE temp( [fields] );
Any ideas anyone?

Hereβs an idea. Donβt post this in The Lounge.
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

In the Huffington Post maybe?

Ah bugger. She had a great voice - I still have a couple of live tracks in my phone playlist for the car: "Georgy Girl", "I am Australian", and "Waltzing Matilda".

Yes, a fabulous voice. I never bought any of the Seekers' records, but often listen to then on YouTube.

Prang has been trying to defeat me. I got it working with MIDI, battled the lag dragon until it was more of a lag iguana, but it still bit.
I decided to switch over to USB for the increased responsiveness but that created a number technical challenges.
Prior, I was using an ESP32 with an embedded screen, and zero programmable USB ports, of which I need two.
I moved to an S3 but lacked an additional USB port. I ordered a Teensy 4.1, but that seemed like overkill.
Well, after attacking this external USB 2 host widget with a soldering iron and tweezers, it was sufficiently edited enough to work. Funny thing, whoever designed it figured you could power a USB port with 3.3volts. No. So hackery had to be had on my part.
Anyway, it is now receiving messages. Prior, I had it sending over USB with the earliest rendition of prang so I'm confident there. I'm almost out of the woods.
Now I just have to connect the in to the out and check for lag (famous last words. If you don't hear from me, send help)

As far as your title is concerned I think being too confident about winning isn`t [edit]usually a good think, a more suitable approach is "I will not give up, I will not surrender"

good job. A win is a win. Not to be confused with an operating system.
