They have a safeguard feature where the power is switched to adapter and battery does not charge after 100%. It is actually recommended by some people. I have been using Macbook Air since 2013 and the battery held its charge above 1300-1400 charge cycles. After 6 years I started to the “Service Recommended” message but all is still working fine. It still gives me 3-4 hours of backup. I guess its fine for now, but sometimes I need to use that power port for something else. its a bit a annoying to have to be constantly plugged in to use it this way. 24 minutes ago, Bird Bird Bird said: https://smallbusiness.chron.com/prevent-apple-laptops-sleeping-closed-67516.html This ? MacOS Big Sur doesn't have an Energy Saver option. I did do what it said in the battery settings, and that didn't help. You see in the steps given, it says 'plug in your mac to the power source' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With amazon i can live chat/ call. With flipkart I start chat and they call. Response time is also like 3 days. They don't give a sh*t unless you start bashing them on twitter. I did the same. Received a call from Flipkart social media team and my issue was resolved. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The battery in my Office mac started bloating up because it was always connected to the power source (post COVID wfh). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Bird Bird Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 Looking for a chair for 10-12 hours of use.

I recently was looking to buy a chair for wfh as well and mainly found that ergonomic work chairs are much better than these. These gaming chairs have a shallow lumbar support, body ends up hunching into the cavity while mesh back in a work chair is able to contour around you. Have a look at something like this: https://delhi.featherlitestore.com/product/helix-high-back-mesh-chair/ https://ergospace.in/collections/office-chairs/products/elan-high-back-mesh-chair-wfhc-33 These chairs don't come cheap but are definitely worth it in the long run. I bought the later one from the physical store, got it for 20k and really happy with it. Also, don't buy these online, you should really go and try these out first, each chair has wildly different comfort and support. You'll have to feel the foam for the butt support, don't go on online reviews. Many shops in Gurgaon, otherwise you can try Kirti Nagar as well, you might be able to get a better deal there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't go for gaming chairs. Get an ergonomic chair, check out featherlite they have stores in all major cities so you can go and try and maybe get a better deal. I have had a lot of back problems since the past 4-5 years and I use featherlite at home and work, these chairs provide great support and are comfy. https://www.featherlitefurniture.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you use your office Mac with a monitor? I essentially want to keep the lid closed and work on the monitor, but it won't let me do it unless I'm constantly plugged in. I always see these youtube setups that have macbooks closed, connected to the monitor. Wondering if they have a workaround, or are they also always connected to power?

Ergospace looks good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try this app (dont personally use this): https://apps.apple.com/app/amphetamine/id937984704?mt=12 I use a dual monitor setup with my Mac but I dont work when unplugged. Mainly because intelliJ and our Jetty app server are power hogs and Mac tends to throttle when not plugged in. I discharge manually overnight or when workload is light by keeping the lid semi closed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soultrader92 Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 Didnt know where to ask this so posting here. Is https://gamenation.in/ a legit website?

You might also like to try Geeken. Idk if its better than FL, but I've been using this Geeken chair for 4-5 years now and its still like the day I bought it, very comfortable. They have a store in Sector-9 Noida, which should be somewhat close by. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
