fun fact: older Dell laptops (and probably others) have a total number of charge cycles they will accept before they deem it "unusable" despite it still functioning. Afaik this is encoded at firmware level and can't be changed.

This is ostensibly for safety reasons, but something about it screams planned obsolescence to me.
