@ilyamiskov I think sitting at 80% is much better than sitting closer to 100%. I’ve heard 50% is ideal long-term but 80’s a good compromise for convenience. Not sure if there’s generally anything valuable from charging/discharging
English

This is definitely a nice setting, but if we take let's say a Macbook that's always connected to power and we limit it to 80%, would that already improve the long-term health of the battery even if it's still constantly docked and connected to power? Or would it still need the electrons inside the battery to flow at least every once in a while, so discharge-charge and so on?
English

As far as I know, keeping your battery-powered devices such as laptops, tablets and phones permanently connected and charged at 100% is not good for battery health.
Knowing this, why isn't there a mode in macOS / iPadOS / iOS that the user can willingly enable that would prevent the devices to constantly stay at 100% when connected to power? Let them automatically fluctuate between 20 and 80% throughout the day.

@Shpigford @maybe I'm so proud of everything I helped build at Maybe. It was truly a pivotal time for my life and career.
English

tl;dr At the beginning of the year we made the decision to shut down Maybe Finance (@maybe).
Over the past five years, we explored a number of directions, from the original personal finance app through legal tech, marketing automation, B2B finance, and financial APIs. None found the traction or economics needed to build a sustainable, venture-backed business.
We're now in the process of, to be very clinical, liquidating all assets.
A couple dozen domains, 40+ git repos (including one of the most popular open-source personal finance apps ever), 100s of Figma projects with thousands frames of design. It's...a lot.
You can see all the details on that here: maybefinance.notion.site/asset-sale
I'll write more about all of this in the future but the reality is it's pretty raw at the moment. It was my first big swing after my last exit and it just...didn't work. ☹️
Regardless, I'm thankful for the dozens of amazingly talented individuals who were involved over the years as well as the nearly 1,800 investors.

@anxndsgn Just a regular 2D canvas right now but might need WebGL for better performance

Hey @laravelphp , This is from a mobile screen (Samsung S25 FE - Android 16). I saw the spacing issue on two pages, especially the bottom one. Laravel Boost and Laravel MCP.
Can the community PR this, or is it internal?

New little project: trying to get AI to write cool shaders.
Try it out → shaderai.com
(it's slow and not very good yet)

@isHarrisRyder Yeah might try only disabling until the cursor has moved away for a second
English

@actualTimWilson could trigger the animation once the cursor has hovered away?
English

@TheBaamAhmed Yeah that might ultimately be the solution here, was just experimenting to try to reduce clutter
English

@actualTimWilson just enable/disable them as needed
thats a much clearer UX pattern imo
