I'm using the free version.

How to calibrate? The fullcharge > deplete battery?

Restarted.. it goes to 87 initially and back to 86.

Internal battery optimisation... in the Battery settings?


Turned off

Even 1 hour can cause the hub warms, then more than 6 hours, the hub gonna be another level lol...
I hope hot usb hubs wont damage the laptop :')

What's your charge limit % setting? did you accidentally changed it?

I set it at 85% since the first day i use it.
Thanks for the link.. I'll try to do that.

I mean the reason why you're using AlDente is to prevent the battery sitting at full charge if you use it plugged all the time

so why would you want it to go back to 100% when the mac goes to sleep?

the only time you want a full charge if that you need to work outside without power for several hours

I do intend to not fully charge the macbook
Just curious with the apps as it won't work when the laptop goes to sleep.
Before this, there's time when it'll charge to 100 when i forgot to turn off the charger.
But it's not happening just now...

wont la, the heat level will just maintain like that i guess..

are you using amphetamine app or smtg that prevent system from sleeping while lid is closed?

If it maintains, it will be good, will look into it...thanks...

As far as I remember... i don't install such apps...

hmm no idea then ... hopefully a restart can solve it

al dente safe? won't cause short circuit?

is this still recommended over M2 MBA?

the price difference is one of the consideration, but consider this is a 2020 product by Apple, typically will the support will end anytime soon to support the M2 MBA?

Support for it won't end anytime soon (subjective) but it definitely means it will end 2 years earlier compared to the MBA M2. If you are worried about lifecycle and support, just get the MBA M2 and not be worried about support periods. Honestly, most Macbooks run for long time and even after support. There are plenty of 3rd party repair shops as well around here who are able to help with repairs and stuff.

I’ve been using Al Dente for the past one year. So far so good no issue yet.

Any one having issues with kernel task eating up majority of the cpu power ?

my m1 mba does not goto sleep after closing the lid, this issue happens after i update the os to 12.5

Anyone experience this before or know how to fix it?

Anyone having any trouble buying apple care plan?

I bought my MBA back in late Sept 2021 using student benefits.

Now, I've been trying to buy the apple care plan, but i am unable to do so. any one experiencing similar thing?

Me.

If you didn't bundle the AppleCare Protection Plan (APP) during the purchase, you only can call the Apple Support to add the APP to your device.

They will add the APP to your device, then you will receive an email from Apple, you click the "Pay Securely" link inside the email and make payment (RM799.00), wait 1-2 days, you will see your coverage extended here.

I see, okay thanks mate.

In that case, I will have to call them to do so for me already.
