   "Storing 1000 pictures in your phone gallery consumes as much energy as charging 8 phones"
   
   I'm afraid that's not how it works, I'm sorry but this is BS.

     @enigmatico Ehh, writing to NAND flash does take a bit of energy, as to write, (relatively) high voltages are required (as handled by a charge pump), but the working voltages are pretty small and the energy required to read is far less.
     
     Assuming that very unoptimized proprietary software is used that saves the images byte-by-byte, I'm thinking that ⅛ to ¼ of the battery would be drained by the time the 1000th photo was saved on any recent tracking device.
     
     The actual amount of electricity stored in the battery is negligible even so - charging a tracking device every day for a year ends up costing ~$5 in electricity if I remember correctly.

     @realercatgirl@wetdry.world Eeh... I mean, they don't increase their prices every 6 months like Telefonica does. And they rarely have issues, and when they do, they usually fix them relatively quickly (usually one morning). And the connection and speeds are good, so... yeah, not too bad.
     
     But this article is BS.
