What about a software solution? "200% faster after connecting your Samsung phone via USB-C and your Mac can utilize unused memory of your mobile device".
While it was actively being used, the battery life was always excellent, it was only towards the end of 1000's & 1000's of charge cycles did it start to degrade. IIRC, when I got rid of it, the "health" indicator showed 68%, but again, that was...
July 1992, but back then the were called "Powerbooks" :)
It ran very well until early 2007 as my road warrior companion, when things (battery, screen, nic) started dying rather quickly, so I moved on to the more modern MacBook Pro shortly after...
TeleFragger.....That Sir is what we in the engineering design world refer to as a "colossal, conglomerated clusterf*ck" of epic proportions, hehehe :D
It's makin my brain hurt just from looking at it, and I would most likely have a heart attack...
It's actually one of the 500 piece (or whatever marketing crap they say) screwdriver/electronic repair kit with a bunch of various small bits. Super handy, and a killer deal when they're only like 20-30 bucks.
But to answer your question... No...
Those days are over, they'll charge as much as they can now that AI is here. I don't see things slowing down before this launch, they're not going to need to move consumer gpus.
Rumor has it AMD already dropped out of the high end race, which I would not be surpised with given the lackluster performance/watt of the chiplet design. Now your 5080 can cost $1599 and the 5090 can be $2599, aren't you excited?
This nonsense only proves one thing:
That some folks have more $$ than brains, as the saying goes....
As well as the infamous "Stupid is as stupid does"
"The cloud AI" already knows where you were, where you are now, and where you are going next, so what's different now ?
Track me, slack me, I don't care, cause I don't go to places I shouldn't, just don't jack me !
So the REAL question now is...

Absolutely wild that they think this is a "convenient feature". A bit sketchy to me.
Without reading, let me guess how this works, and then click the link and see if I was right.
It tracks the location of your phone constantly when it does have power, and sends that to the cloud for "find my phone purposes".
Then if you use...
ace is the place !
Unless of course you wanna buy an assorted bag of them from me for $5.00 :D
But if you can specify the exact size in mm, I'm pretty sure I will have some, seeins how I've built many rigs over the years that were equipped with...
