LoL
Well took the plunge and opted to reboot.
I was just afraid of it somehow borking on me.
Anyway - happy to report it's on 18% and everything back to normal.
damn...such an anticlimax
no renewable energy, no never ending source of energy - nothing
and to top it, 18% waaaaaahhhhhh wheres that charger
from free energy to expending more energy to go find the charger, plug it in, connect it to the phone, check that the phone charges, and eventually charge the phone
phew im tired already
