| Jul 8, 2021 at 14:18 | comment | added | Flater | I wouldn't say "proactive" here, though it is commonly thematically relevant. Proactive means charging the phone. OP seems to be focused on asking about knowing that the phone will be used in the near future. Being proactive requires forward-thinking, but the two are not the same. A "lazy oracle", if you will, is forward-thinking but not proactive. I do agree on the "forward-thinking", by the way. | |
