It is soo good. A tech company i just got offer from. In their onboarding app, they let me join the union on the first day.

This is what you see in the company with strong union.

No, you're not supposed to go beyond 80%. Fire that fool immediately. /s

Fuck apple and it's "AI powered" battery charge protector for my laptop that says it'll stop it at 80% (or 85%?) based on your usage habits, but always charges it to full because fuck your battery. I'd bet money they don't give you the option to permanently set it and not be AI driven because they know the battery dies sooner because their AI battery manager sucks.

I may be triggered.

No, they give you the option to cap the charge percentage at 80% but you’ll need to buy iPhone 15 to get it 🙃

I'm specifically talking about macbooks.

My laptop is of course at 100% despite what this says, plugged into my wall outlet, like usual.

That means your battery (which can hold 94% of its original specified charge) is at 100% of 94%. Not indicating 94% and never going higher (because the 6% is unable to hold a charge). What it can hold, is full, so 100%.

...

I understand how to read.

Ignore the 94% it's the part below it.

It's supposed to stop charging my battery at 80%. It (edit: almost) always charges my battery to 100% despite the setting.

Some phones will allow you to select battery protection - 100% at 80%, 0% at 20%
