    Has a battery charger utility/manager for Mac laptops (PPC or early Intel) ever existed?

    Using AlDente or other battery charge limiters

    Is using charge limiters like AlDente bad for your battery? The app page says that it might confuse battery calibration and cause turning off at e.x. 40%. Are there anybody who uses AlDente? How is your battery health on your macbook? Have you noticed any drawbacks?

    Mac Pro 2013 Owner - Upgrade to MacBook Air M1 16GB worth it?

    Hi all, My work on Mac OS is mainly with Logic Pro X and non-Apple plugins and VSTs. I'm currently running a Mac Pro 2013 (8-core/64GB Ram/2TB NVMe) and I know it's certainly overkill for the type of music I mainly work on (Hard Rock / Alt Metal / Acoustic). I also own a MacBook Pro 13" from...
