My 2 year old laptop's battery health is at 71% after I've only charged it to 80% to take care of the battery.
My old laptop from 8 years ago didn't have a way to limit charge so it was always at 100%, I even used it as a server for a while after I got my new laptop, always plugged in always charging and the battery health on it is 69%

So what's the point in trying to take good care of the battery? I know heat plays a factor as well, but if anything, my new laptop is cooler than my old one. Old one had terrible airflow.

@newt I'll give that a try, thanks!

@newt Is this just a reporting issue or would this potentially increase my battery life?

@joey @newt

Yeah that's how the discussion started. My 8+ year old laptop with no thresholds and overheating issues was at 69% battery health and my new laptop with thresholds set and much better cooling was at 71% after 2 years.

@newt Why is it a Nazibook? :02_think:

Hello, I made lasagna for the first time. Not the best looking but it was delicious.

@Kuara @newt I checked from an account I have on sakurajima.moe and I can't see either of you.

@newt @Kuara This is what I hate about the fediverse, instead of an open platform, instances block each other and it becomes another "us vs them"

@gnu2 I ended up following lots of people from that instance who posts things of interest and adding them to a list. I also made my own instance to better understand how federation works :)

@gnu2 thanks for the tip, I'll try that

So following a #hashtag that's mostly used on a different instance won't show me the posts on my TL. I guess that's due to how federation works.
Does anyone know a workaround for that?
