Don't charge a laptop to 100% capacity, that's a good way to lower the capacity of the battery after a while. Basically you're almost overcharging it, over and over again. That increases the wear on the battery. I'd suggest looking in the settings.

Batteries today have microprocessors that handle that. That is no longer true.

Wait, what? Are you a macfag now?!? How am I going to break this to Stallman?

Also, most devices nowadays manage their own power and charging, so you should charge them them until they say they are full.

unless you want optimum battery lifespan in which case you should charge them to 85

As usual, DW is correct.

You shouldn't, just buy a new one once it runs out.

Nah. I wouldn't even know if Apple stuff had that option because I don't use it so it means nothing to me either way.

Watching Louis Rossmann has vaccinated me against buying Apple computers.

Oh good. Richard Stallman was so nervous that you might have gone over to Apple that he was eating pieces of his toe skin.
