macOS recently introduced the ability to limit your battery to only charge up to 80%, a feature that I personally appreciate as I'm mostly using my MacBook plugged into a dock and it's arguably a great way to limit the ageing of the unit.

There's just one huge problem. Well, two actually. Firstly it doesn't allow me to set a minimum charge ("start charging when battery is at X%"), so when it falls to 79% it just tops it back up to 80, not a big deal but slightly annoying. The much bigger issue is that the charge limit apparently isn't being saved to the battery firmware itself so when the MacBook is turned off and plugged into my dock it just keeps on charging to 100%...

Similar issue with my Pixel 9 Pro, it normally sticks to the charge limit quite well, but multiple times a month I'd say it just randomly charges to 100% regardless. Apparently that's to calibrate the battery or something? As far as I know you have to do a complete cycle to calibrate a battery which 80% to 100% isn't, also I don't think a Li-ion battery needs to be calibrated this often, does it?

To contrast, KDE Plasma retains the limit at all times, lets you set a minimum amount and actually tells the battery to always stop charging at that amount.

Am I just not getting something about this?

That's just what I do. I don't think many people just leave their computer running 24/7.

Why not? There is no point in turning it off. Just close the lid and it goes into a deep sleep mode. It’s super efficient and it’s ready to go instantly if you need it.

It’s don’t know anyone who turns their MacBook off when they don’t use it.

[–] colourlessidea@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 day ago

Adding on, I don’t think I’ve turned off my MacBook in years. The only time I remember turning off a MacBook was when I put it away in storage for a while.

[–] FireWire400@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I've never really been a Mac user primarily so I just adopted the best practices from Windows and Linux. If macOS is supper efficient that way then cool.

I still wouldn't leave it on 24/7.

Do you also turn off your phone at night? Or your tablet?

[–] Pika@sh.itjust.works 1 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

Personally, I don't think mobile devices such as cell phones or tablets should be lumped into the same category as personal computers such as laptops and desktops.

Like, sure, they are technically still computers, but they are treated more as always on assistants.

Myself, I leave my cell phone, smartwatch and tablet on 24-7. Only restarting when I have an issue, it needs an update, or the battery dies. However, my desktop, game consoles, laptop, and TV's are turned off as soon as I'm done using them. (Although the TV doesn't actually turn off because it forces a rest mode.)

edit: I got OCD on my list orders

Lol. Can't tell if lying, genius, or psychopath.

[–] FireWire400@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Definitely the latter

Laptops yea. It's just like your phone.

[–] scytale@piefed.zip 3 points 1 day ago

I don’t leave mine running 24/7 either, but I fully cut off the power when I’m not using it. The dock is plugged into an extension cord with a switch so I can easily cut the power after putting the laptop to sleep or shutting it down.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I don't know if I'm typical, but neither desktop or laptop are ever fully off for me under normal circumstances, sleep mode is the default
