💡 Automating Laptop Charging with a Simple Timer
Tired of #overcharging your #laptop #battery? I found a simple way to control charging cycles using a programmable digital #timer!
🔌 Setup:
I programmed my Electraline 58102 timer to turn on power for one hour every five hours (e.g., 00:00-01:00, 05:00-06:00, etc.).
This keeps my battery between 20% and 80%, extending its lifespan without any extra software or smart plugs.
✅ Works automatically, no scripts, no extra hardware!

Ovo and Good Energy customers to get refunds after overcharging
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-65631546
I think we could all do with a "refund" given the massive profits the energy giants Shell & BP have reaped.
An apology wouldn't go amiss either.

@Dale standard #overcharging in the US criminal justice system, unfortunately. Throw every possible charge at them and see what sticks / use the prospect of the penalties to negotiate down to a lower charge for the plea.
