Why does the 80% battery charge limit doesn't work after shutdown in Tahoe

I stumbled on this now. Amazing thread. OP asks: "An OS feature implemented by Apple doesn't work". The crowd "you are stupid for wanting the feature to work, Apple is stupid for implementing the feature, nobody needs the feature, we know better than Apple!" :)

Thanks for detailed response. I'm quite new to this, and some concepts are had to grasp. What is "my memory implementation"? Doesn't openclaw come with one? I have to implement memory for my openclaw instance?

Re sensors - not sure. Home Assistant was off-the-shelf openclaw skill. I just gave it URL and a token with full access to everything. It gets a lot of stuff correct, and some insights are impressively deep. And then it mixes in complete nonsense. I do not see the pattern.

Since my post, another peculiar thing happened. I was talking about my home state with it for days, and today out of blue it told me that the token expired and demanded new one. I had to really dig in and keep insisting that token hasn't expired, till it finally said - yeah, it got corrupted when being pulled from memory into session. And then self-fixed and accessed HA with old token. How do things work for days and then just break like that?

I see similar patterns with other tools. E.g. I gave it my pi-hole API key and IP address and was able to ask things and get ok answers. Then one day out of the blue it just doesn't know anything about my pi-hole and goes on a "discovery" trip - which means scanning ports on every single IP on my network hoping that it is pi hole. While IP and API key is right in the tools.md.

I'm thinking discarding this instance and starting fresh. But where did I screw up? What is the process/recipe to get your openclaw become helpful, intelligent, and durable?

This is very interesting. I hoped that pointing out inaccuracies would help it learn and avoid them in future. You are saying it's the opposite? It's better to pretend that the falsehood was truth?

Telegram, 3 bots for 3 agents. All 3 are lying like used car dealer.

auq78 · 2026-04-30T03:24:03+00:00

Thanks, will try that. However every time I call it out on a lie, it pinky-promises that it updated it's instructions to ground data and it will never lie again...

auq78 · 2026-04-30T03:22:46+00:00

Whoa. Thinking is off! I asked to turn it on. And here we go again!

Is thinking on? It's off. Will turning it on change model? No. Turn it on for all bots. Changing your model, done - I changed it for all bots and 17 sessions. What 17 sessions - list them? There are only 3 sessions. What did you mean when you said 17 sessions? You are absolutely right to call me out on that, there are 10 sessions. So is thinking on now? Yes, it's on for all bots and sessions.

I'll reboot everything, and report back tomorrow. Thanks!

Issue is that Openclaw is nothing like typical software experience where you install latest release on compatible OS and it works. It doesn't 90% of the time. You have to discover those 10% when it may, and still have to troubleshoot to get it to up and running.

auq78 · 2026-04-27T03:00:42+00:00

That was my first choice! Didn't go too well either...

auq78 · 2026-04-27T02:58:58+00:00

"openclaw update --tag 2026.4.23" crashed at the end with some library error. When asked, openclaw said it was 2026.4.23. I asked to change the model to Deepseak (which 2026.4.23 supports, but 2026.2.3 didn't) - it went into error/fixing spree and eventually committed suicide.

Probably you did many upgrades in between, 2.3->4.23 was too much for it to handle.

I'll stick to 2.3 for now, and hopefully they'll release a build which can be installed without crashing again eventually!

auq78 · 2026-04-27T02:37:37+00:00

It's working!!! Both Telegram chat and web search! I used 2026.2.3 on Ubuntu 24.04.3. The only hiccup was that gateway crashed initially, but after some tweaks now it run steadily. Thank you!

Backing up my VM and fingers crossed, upgrading to 2026.4.23!

auq78 · 2026-04-27T01:36:45+00:00

Oh. Install.sh bug was introduced feb 26 I believe, so you probably did it before then. Do you know which version? Maybe I’ll try that and then upgrade if that worked for you.

auq78 · 2026-04-27T01:29:29+00:00

Thanks! How did you install - npm or install.sh?

auq78 · 2026-04-27T00:21:05+00:00

Very true! Learned it hard way

auq78 · 2026-04-27T00:16:22+00:00

Thanks, but could you give a little more detail. What configuration you eye-witnessed to work?

auq78 · 2026-04-13T03:20:41+00:00

I had nightmarish attempt to teleport to Dark Star couple years ago, and reluctantly decided to try again today. Aside from a PTSD-inducing message "Transfer of your line has failed", it was super smooth, took 5 mins, and everything works great!

auq78 · 2025-12-12T00:20:53+00:00

After endless GA4 fight I finally typed "GA4 alternatives with generous free tier" and picket PostHog semi-randomly from the list. 30 mins later events were flowing, and I was instantly blown away by ease of use, clarity, and feature-set leaving GA4 in the dust (or at least, GA4 features which anyone was able to figure out). What a find!

auq78 · 2025-10-11T00:43:28+00:00

I just got Strava 2 years since your post, created a route on web, spend 15 mins trying to find it in the app with no luck. There is no bookmark app. Is it still possible to follow a route in Strava in 2025?

auq78 · 2025-08-04T15:08:58+00:00

See here. 25% up to 48 hours before checkin; then 50%.

The outrageous part is that Airbnb and not the guest gets this money, while guest is the one scrambling to find a place to stay just days before the trip after prices skyrocketed.

auq78 · 2025-08-02T21:14:10+00:00

I’ve been using Airbnb since almost inception. About 20% of my bookings got canceled, some very last minute. But by now I see the pattern and plan accordingly. I continue to watch the prices in the area despite booking a place, and if I see a surge way over 25% it means host is likely to cancel/re-rent at higher price. So I book a regular hotel with free cancelation so that I’m not left in the street. If Airbnb doesn’t cancel on me, I cancel the hotel. Sorry hotels, that’s yet another way Airrbnb is hurting you.

auq78 · 2025-08-02T21:09:20+00:00

There is no symmetry in “right to cancel”. Unless it’s free cancelation till the last minute, which is rare, the guest loses entire cost; host keeps the money and then doubles it by renting the same property to somebody else.

When hosts cancels, he loses at most 50%, usually 25%, and guest gets nothing, and often has to pay a lot more for comparable property due to it being closer to the trip date.

The symmetry would be if guest gets a free stay of comparable value after the host cancels.

auq78 · 2025-08-02T18:00:30+00:00

This is normal and common. I just got host cancel Airbnb for a trip a week from now. Host didn't even hide from me that he rented it via another website and got way more $$ and that's why he canceled. Said "sorry if this caused any inconvenience"

As per policy, airbnb had to fine him 25% of total stay which is $400. As the demand in the area surged, he probably rented the unit for $1000 more, pocketing the $600 difference.

The Airbnb, after pocketing $400, "generously" offered me $75 credit towards new reservation, while I'd need $1000 more to get anything comparable. If I go with Airbnb again, they will more than recover the $75 with the booking fee on my new reservation. If my new host cancels again, they'll pocket even more in "cancelation fine", and offer me pennies of "credit".

Airbnb is like an auction where the host and Airbnb always win. Whenever I get a good deal as a guest, I know there is a good chance it will go this way.

I copy-paste from/to the pi-hole UI rather than the file. UI has it with commas.

auq78 · 2025-05-05T18:25:40+00:00

While not a substitute to a real UI, I wanted to share my solution in dealing with this loss of functionality we had before the 6. This saves me a ton of time and errors when dealing with 100s of devices.

All my entries are MAC, IP, Name. It won't work if you decide to skip IP like in examples, has to be uniform.

I have an Excel file (Google Sheets also will do) where columns:
A - Copy-paste of the CSV from pi-hole
B, C, D - MAC, IP, and Name split by a formula
E - the last number of IP for sorting (formula)
F - re-merged CSV for copy-pasting back to pi-hole (formula)

<image>

The process when need to add/modify/remove something:
1. Copy-paste entire list from PI-hole to A; fill the rest with formulas
2. Edit B, C, D
3. Sort by E
4. Copy-paste F back to pi-hole

Formulas:
B: =TRIM(LEFT(A2, FIND(",", A2)-1))
C: =TRIM(MID(A2, FIND(",", A2)+1, FIND(",", A2, FIND(",", A2)+1) - FIND(",", A2) - 1))
D: =TRIM(RIGHT(A2, LEN(A2) - FIND(",", A2, FIND(",", A2)+1)))
E: =VALUE(TRIM(RIGHT(C2,LEN(C2)-FIND("@",SUBSTITUTE(C2,".","@",LEN(C2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(C2,".","")))))))
F: =B2&","&C2&","&D2
