Topic: Why does my computer sometimes stop charging at 95%?

Anonymous A started this discussion 14 years ago #22,972

Other times it stops at 98% or goes to 100%.

I would like a high-quality, professional opinion. So I'm asking here. Thanks.

If I turn my cell phone off, will it stop pinging cell phone towers during that time?

What really is OFF? Its still on so it can tell the local tower where you are located. The only way around this is to remove the battery. On some models and other unique situations even that will not keep you from being located.


Charging question just how old is the computer?

Okay.

Computer is a little over a year old.

If I wanted it to stop tracking me, what's the best way to do it? To be sure.

Is it PC or Mac?

Oh and very important - How often do you let it fully discharge (run down)

faraday cage.

see with one of these you don't even have to turn it off, just drop it in the pouch and go on about your dirty work.

Reason I asked is Macs are unique in how they manage recharging - In any case the general answer is you do NOT have a problem but that variation has every thing to do with lithium batteries memory.

So how much you can charge them as well as the variations has every thing to do with how much you ran the battery down before charging. Its best to on occasion do a full or almost full run down. When you do that and its good for the battery - It will charge to 100% and when it doesn't that tells you its getting on the worn out side. Doubt yours is.

Anyway its total normal to see that variation you have. MAC battery manager needs a full discharge for a manager reset which PC does not have. Mac way is better nor r i a Mac person in general.

i could imagine making something like this and sewing it into the pocket of a jacket or something.

Me? I would not stake my life on a floating Faraday shield. At the minimum one made with aluminum foil? Maybe for RFID devices. Peak pulse power for the Registration signal (its like a ping) is a bunch!

Real Faraday shields depend on a solid ground Me I would at least get some Copper foil. Aluminum wrap could even HELP get that Registration signal out depending on a few things.

Microwave ovens make pretty good Faraday cages, especially for the frequencies used (WiFi and cellular frequencies) by modern mobile devices. Finding a discarded, broken microwave and chopping the power cord off isn't too difficult or costly. Keep a small one in the trunk of your car so that the reptilians can't track you while you head out of town.

er yes yes HowSomEver its not going to be so very good without the power cord because that cord gives the enclosure that o so important ground.

This is a simple Physics problem. There are two independent Fields which are also Co-dependent. Electromagnetic and Electrostatic fields. One is sorta easy to block and the other is not so easy. If you mess up the Co dependency you may actually turn the shield into another antenna.

Reminds me of some very smart crooks who rented several Pensky trucks and fully covered all walls ceilings floors with copper - Did a super job with a torch to get all the seams solid. Then used it to transport stolen ultra expensive Lamborghini's Ferrari's Aston Martin's etc which all contain various fancy trackers. Great plan except that necessary ground. Maybe added high carbon things trucks use to drag on ground to kill static charges might have helped? All I know for a fact is that trucks was was tracked with cops waiting at the port with a ship waiting.

Fuck ground. It doesn't matter. You are blocking EM radiation, not lighting bolts.

Except if done incorrectly, you can turn the protection into an antenna. Not at all uncommon. That is exactly what the Penskey truck example did.

If you are building a large cage and actually need to worry about protecting yourself from lightning bolts or nuclear blasts or the EMP we will eventually have to set off to disable SkyNet, then grounding is a concern. Small cages, such as wallets or pouches, to shield against radio interference, block cell phones and mobile devices, or stop RFID will function just fine without grounding. The EM radiation that these small cages are designed to block does not carry a charge that needs to be bled off.
