  • I’ve been using AlDente for awhile:

    Good feature set, some cool visualizations of charging activity (as cool as watts going into a battery can be…). Been very happy with it so far, keep my laptop at 80% pretty much all the time (mostly docked).

  • Absolutely! I welcome it in any case due to using MagSafe stands throughout the day.

  • The charitable thinking was that it’s only on the new models because they actually modified the power delivery circuitry to allow bypassing the battery for power. As in, a reasonable hardware limitation that prevents any older models from doing it.

    The less charitable thinking is that it’s arbitrary software lock, which is unfortunately not entirely out of character for the Apple either 😅.

  • Alternatively, this just means it will keep draining/charging to keep it at a steady 80%, with the battery still fully involved with providing power to the phone.

  • Apple @lemmy.world

    iPhone 15 can limit battery charge to 80%. Does this mean there’s now battery passthrough?

  • I appreciate the small tweaking and tuning you perform as the rounds progress. A bit more tinkering than others in the genre. Some nice, light decision making until you get a good snowball going on. Hard to feel overrated when < $5 :)

  • It works fairly well. A "daily driver" if you don't mind tinkering. Installed some basic dev tools, runtimes, and container workloads. You'll miss some QOL and efficiencies compared to macOS, and I couldn't quite get the trackpad to feel as good, but that's pretty par-for-the-course when it comes to running a non-macOS OS on a MacBook.

    Since dual-boot is the default install option, doesn't hurt to carve other some space for Asahi and give it a whirl. You're intended to be able to use both on the same system as needed.
