    Working out of cafes, anywhere not at home, short trips, airports, anywhere you don’t want to be looking for an outlet or bring a charger. If it needs to be plugged in all the time…

    I never said that. What do you mean by they don't know? What are they going to do even if they did know? It's not like they can (short of an armed rebellion) demand to have another…
