It’s very important for these internet people to be recognized as right by a group of anonymous strangers. Failing that, they very much need to make those strangers feel bad in the process.
Comment on The half-assed implementations of battery charge limits...
cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 days agoAll of you are reading way too much into it. Turning a computer on and off doesn’t hurt it. Leaving it on all the time doesn’t hurt it either. A MacBook will last at least ten years if taken care of decently.
As far as the battery thing, mine’s still at 100% output (not charge) after 2 years. I set the charge limit to 80% (OP is incorrect — macOS 26.4 didn’t set the charge limit to 80%, it didn’t set it to anything, it gave you the option to limit charge to 80, 85, 90, or 95% charge, or disable it if you’ve enabled it) and it’s fine, I imagine it might last a few months longer, but I don’t expect it to radically change the physics of Li-Ion battery degradation.
Batteries are still a consumable item. MacBook batteries are generally known for their reliability and longevity, though.

You’re right, I guess I still think calling something a feature implies that you can turn it off.
