These "rules" people give you are just lies to make life difficult: • When starting a car, turn off the fan, AC, lights etc. otherwise [some unstated bad thing happens to your car] • Disconnect your phone/laptop from the charger when fully charged, else battery life reduces

1. Whatever savings you end up with are not worth the daily hassle. (Similar to saving the last sliver of soap: forum.wordreference.com/threads/vulcan) 2. I vaguely believe that both were true of old technology, and are fixed now. I refuse to educate myself further and find out the truth.

An AC is an extra cylinder that can strain weak engines on starts, esp on hills etc. At the very least you get sluggish acceleration. Modern chargers for high-end electronics have circuitry to prevent bad stuff if you wobble between 99-100%, but it still affects cheap stuff iirc

Don't you dare educate me on this and make my life difficult. I read somewhere that modern cars' ignitions have electronics that temporarily disconnect everything else at startup time. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Also, I am also assuming that laptops and mid-range-and-above phones have the aforementioned safeguards, which is what I was primarily thinking of. I have faith in these beliefs and you can't prove otherwise because ...*checks notes* ... there is no RCT.
