Is Break/Fix Hardware repair business at end of life?

Ironically most of my boomer clients sit there and leave the laptop plugged in 24/7 lol...then on the rare case they use the battery they wonder why it doesn't last long at all.

And no matter how much independent research you can point to that's peer reviewed that says try to stick, essentially, to charging only when levels get to approximately 20% and stopping at 80%, you've got the crowd of endless deniers.

At least the manufacturers have gotten smart and a very great many are now building AI charging schemes into their devices by default. I've been using the simple "stop at 80" that's on my laptop since I first got it, and make a point of taking it off charger and allowing it to run down to near 20 percent, sometimes a bit less, but not zero, before charging again. The phone I just bought has a "straight 80" setting as well as an AI setting.
