How to turn off and override Apple’s iPhone ‘Clean Energy Charging’

1. Does it check if it is cloudy or no wind to generate power in the generator’s location?
   If not, this is just another useless virtue signaling PR stunt.

   1. I would suspect it uses statistically analyzed data to choose the most likely time frames. But maybe weather is factored in too. Or will be one day. Regardless, it is a nice feature with virtuous intent.

      1. If I’m charging in my truck, does it wait till the motor turns off to run on clean battery power….?

         1. You might try reading the Apple support page rather than going off on a political tirade.

            It’s actually a huge benefit to the energy grid and for consumers for Apple to offer a way to “slow charge” the millions of iPhones at off-peak hours. If you can’t see the logic behind this, then there’s nothing for you to discuss here until you get a basic education. If your goal in life is to “roll coal” with the dirtiest possible personal gadgets and toys, then maybe you should look for a different brand.

         2. Is everything political to the Left?
            I’m kidding!! We all know it his.

            FYI, if I plug something in, I need it charged. If Apple had not turned it on my phone by default it would’ve been a different story.

            Oh, and fuck you and your telling people what to do.

2. It’s a SCAM. Tim Cook is incapable of independent thought. Apple will be far better off without him when he finally goes.

   Neil Winton worked as a journalist at Reuters for 32 years, including a stint in the 1990s as a global Science and Technology Correspondent. This gave him a unique perspective on the debate over climate change.

   In the 1990s, climate change hysteria was still manageable. There were ample voices questioning the growing narrative about CO2 generated by human industrial activity being the major cause of rising temperatures. But in the last two decades, “science” has taken a back seat to activism.

   Winton points out that temperatures have been rising for 10,000 years since the end of the last ice age. And that increase has been uneven, with warming stopping, retreating, and starting again. Winton also points out that even climate “deniers” agree with that postulate.

   But where skeptics wholeheartedly disagree is with the idea of a “climate crisis.” It’s one of two little-known facts that the media fails to report on.

   Daily Sceptic:

   The idea of a ‘climate crisis’ is not widely accepted, but partisans shout about it. It is a very vague claim and hard to define or prove. By Reuters standards shouldn’t this include a balancing view? Certainly, many people believe that there is such a crisis, but lots of people don’t. The idea climate change threatens the health, safety and economic well-being of people worldwide is an assertion, not a fact.

   The other little-known fact — something that only a close reading of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports would reveal — is that while 90% of climate scientists agree the climate is warming, far fewer are sure that CO2 is the culprit.

   My Reuters credentials meant that I had easy access to the world’s finest climate scientists. To my amazement, none of these would say categorically that the link between CO2 and global warming, now known as climate change, was a proven scientific fact. Some said human production of CO2 was a probable cause, others that it might make some contribution; some said CO2 had no role at all. Everybody agreed that the climate had warmed over the last 10,000 years as the ice age retreated, but most weren’t really sure why. The sun’s radiation, which changes over time, was a favoured culprit.

   My reporting reflected the wide range of views, with Reuters typical “on the one hand this, on the other, that” style. But even then, the mainstream media seem to have run out of the energy required, and often lazily went along with the BBC’s faulty, opinionated thesis. It was too much trouble to make the point that the BBC’s conclusion was challenged by many impressive scientists.

   It’s even worse in the American media as statements about climate change are published uncritically as scientific facts. Part of the problem is the dearth of reporters trained as climate scientists or scientists in general.

   It’s now derisively referred to as “bothsiderism”: carefully giving both — or all — sides of a debate while allowing the reader to draw their own conclusions. Winton points out that this used to be a fundamental tenet of Reuters journalism that has now disappeared.

   The debate about climate change is far from over. I’m not a scientist so I don’t know enough to say it’s all man-made or not. But politicians and lobbyists have decided that we are all guilty. They are in the process of dismantling our way of life, ordering us to comply because it’s all for the future and our children. If we are going to give up our civilization, at the very least we ought to have an open debate. Journalists need to stand up and be counted. The trouble is that requires bravery and energy, and an urge to question conventional wisdom.

   With politicians and media conglomerates pushing the climate change agenda, it’s safe to say that the global warming narrative is set in stone and will be impossible to stop. All we can do is continue to push back with the facts and hope that the worst of what’s being proposed goes by the wayside.

      1. AAPLy yours: Silence that idiot asshat Al Gore first; then we can discuss other folks idiocy. That liar has been profiting by $100s of millions if not billions by squatting in a chair on Apple’s Board of Directors for 20+ years and sowing his crazy falsehoods about global warming since the 1990s and everything he’s threatened has failed to occur.

   2. …global cooling, global warming, ozone depletion, overpopulation doomsday, rising seas, miami inundation, cow flatulence and famine, oil depletion, constitutional crises, threats to democracy, super hurricanes, russian collusion, killer bees, phonecalls to zelensky, masks, school closures, lockdowns, barriers to business, border crossing …activists continue to find their cudgel.
      …if it isn’t a half-truth or outright lies, it’s a perkins-coie pee-tape or a subtle change to the definition of a critical word.
      …as a relatively young person, the most heartbreaking for me is the trust I’ve lost in those I should be looking to for guidance, for goodness, humility, honor, for ethical conduct.

      1. At least in the case of the ozone layer, when we all stopped using the chemicals causing the problems guess what? It’s repairing itself. Last I read by 2040 it will be back to 1980 levels. Which is a good thing.

         The best way to learn who to trust is to educate yourself, and not just in the way that folks like “First Then” want you to. Read a lot. Find scientific studies and cases that cite sources. Be skeptical, of everyone.

         I’ve in the past worked with and talked to real climate scientists and what they had to say was alarming. But don’t take my word for it, go find some yourself.

            There, fixed it for you…

   3. It’s interesting while making claims about a lack of independent thought, your post is full of quotes from others. If you practice what you preached, you’d be a nicer person.

3. Thanks MDN, I didn’t know of this and was able to turn it off. I’m so sick of this damn virtue signaling crap, and if I could just shove a lump of coal into my iPhone to charge it that’s exactly what I’d do.

   1. I swear the depth of idiocy amongst MDN’s commenters has grown exponentially the last few years. But I’m confident that Apple will come up with a way to tap into the crap coming out of their mouths and use it as yet another green source of energy to run their business with. It certainly appears endless and growing! So keep talking bud, your life may not be a complete waste after all.👍
