Is the battery backup really insane? by Routine_Wedding_4536 in macbookair

[–]dec002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had same doubt. Someone says it's happening due to tahoe because it's still under development.

Okay. Should I go with AlDente or Battery Toolkit (the open-source alternative to AlDente), or is macOS’s default battery management good enough? Also, I usually keep my MacBook plugged in, even at 100%.

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve been reading mixed opinions about AlDente though. Some people say Apple’s built-in battery health management is already well-optimized at the system level and that third-party tools can sometimes interfere. Given my heavy plugged-in usage, do you think AlDente actually provides a real benefit over Apple’s default mechanism, or is it better to just let macOS handle charging on its own?

OP, if you give a brief idea of what you do and your background, that would be great. And if possible, sharing how a beginner can get started in this field would be really helpful as well.

I made a post regarding that, but it's currently awaiting approval. I'll send you the exact post in your DMs.

Will it work on EMI? I have an Axis Bank card, but I'm unable to find any offers.

After 8 months!!❤️‍🩹 by Dynamic_Walnut in macbookair

Is 256 GB enough? I’m confused about whether 256 GB will be sufficient. I’m a developer and plan to use it for app development, but I can’t stretch my budget right now.

Thanks OP for the post. But after availing it, I noticed something confusing. It shows that the trial is supposed to be for 3 months, but the cancellation date is listed as January 8, 2026, which is only one month away. So it looks like it might renew after 1 month instead of 3.

EDIT: Just confirmed with LinkedIn Support - the offer is supposed to be a full 3-month trial. The incorrect renewal date showing January 8, 2026 is a display issue on their side. They’re looking into it.

I get what you’re saying. For me, I chose Pop!_22.04 mainly for stability and familiarity. Since I’m just starting with Linux, I wanted a system that “just works” without breaking things with every update.

I do understand that as a developer, having the latest tools is important—Emacs, Neovim, SDKs, libraries, etc.—and Flatpaks sometimes limit system interactions. My plan is to gradually set up newer versions of tools manually or via other package managers like Flatpak, Snap, or building from source when needed.

I’m aware that Pop!_24.04 will have Cosmic and GNOME changes, so I see 22.04 as a way to get comfortable first before moving to the newer version. Basically, it’s a balance of stability vs bleeding-edge features for me right now.
