Nintendo 3DS Battery Is Quick To Die and Slow To Charge 183
An anonymous reader writes with this excerpt from the Opposable Thumbs blog:
"The battery in the Nintendo 3DS is as bad as we had feared, and it's a major impediment to enjoying the system. ... With the screen at a reasonable brightness, 3D and wireless turned off when the game allowed it, and no sound, we were about to get to a little over 4.5 hours of playtime. If you like a brighter screen, keep 3D turned on, or if you have that speaker going, that time is only going to go down. ... Using the cradle whenever the system isn't being played is a habit you're going to want to pick up, especially with a charging time of around three and a half hours."

Thanks for the script! (Score:4, Interesting)
I must thank you for that script. I have used it almost since the first you posted it. I have modified it to fix some of my pet peeves, like "Hell," --> "Furthermore," or "For example," based on context... not perfect but covers 90% . The "Hell," idiom is way overused.
I also use it to change "geek" to "nerd" and "password" to "********". seriously, if you type your ******** all I see are hunter2 lol.
Not that I'm totally against profanity, but I recently read a post by someone complaining about unnecessary profanity in some thread, and I thought for fun I would see what it looked like if I used your script to fix it.
fuck --> befriend
asshole --> beloved
bitch --> classy lady
bitching --> making insightful comments
It of course doesn't always work but the internet seems more friendly and polite with it on.
Anyway, thanks a lot. It really does improve things.
