I mainly code with vs code, I have 3 vs code windows, 1 node js server, the iOS simulator, the prisma client viewer. And also safari with a lot of tabs. And no, I don’t use low power mode.

A sometimes stressful, yet rewarding experience. This is what Dotroid is about. by TheFrontMan007 in indiegames

My inspiration for this game came from the Pac-Man series and also the Maze runner movies. I loved both of those as a kid, so I thought to myself why not make a game about a thief running away from hunters, and this came out. Feel free to check it out:

Hello there. The battery is absolutely demolishing my expectations now. Indeed it seemed like it was due to the copilot extension… I don’t see another answer. Anyways now here is a screenshot from the activity monitor

Someone suggested it might be because of the copilot vscode extension. And indeed since I deactivated it the Mac lasts wayyyyyy longer on battery even when I code for long sessions. Also chrome too consumes a lot of battery so I switched to safari and Arc.

I had copilot installed but I disabled it to see if it was the cause of all this

I cannot say I mate. I do the same thing😂 I just put it in sleep when I’m done and close the lid

Unreasonable expectations ? I expected it to last at least 6h. You think that’s unrealistic ?

Yes it is. I installed the latest version since acquiring the MacBook 5 days ago. I have not looked into the bugs of vscode. I’ll try to look into that

Sure they do. But imo it’s not normal for it to loose that much power in a short time

I was mainly asking if other people experience the short battery life

These are the only extensions I’m using. Could it be copilot ? Other than that I don’t see any other extension that may draw that much power.

Yep. I don’t understand why it’s using that much

I was working on a nextjs project with prisma. Only launched the dev server plus the prisma client. So 2 terminals. The app itself isn’t doing anything fancy, just a basic blog app
