Apple's new 80% battery limit feature should not be limited to the iPhone 15
That's true. I evaluated it, but it wasn't of use to me as I keep my Macbook plugged in with the lid closed.
I eventually tried this instead :
https://github.com/DevNulPavel/osx_battery_charge_limit
I use it to keep my battery level indicator pegged at 70%. Often doesn't persist after a system update, but it's just a quick terminal command to reapply the setting.
I use my Macbook in clamshell mode, and I use sleep mode when I'm not using it - receiving power from a Thunderbolt dock. It's handy to pick up exactly where I left off on resume. Plus, I use two LG screens where one of the two doesn't switch on after a cold boot, and it's annoying to unplug and replug to activate it. Sleep mode gets around that.

Patch iMac 2013 and use as 2nd Display
Target display mode was removed somewhere around macos high sierra. It’s just controlled by setting an smc key so you might be able to make a program set that smc key for you. The key itself is explained here https://floe.butterbrot.org/matrix/hacking/tdm/ and a similar approach to this for setting a limit on how much the battery charges could be used to set the key https://github.com/DevNulPavel/osx_battery_charge_limit

We have created a way to have an external power-off button
We have created a full user manual on our GitHub site with instructions on you how to configure the Pi, and there is also example code for how to integrate it into your own software. But you can also just run our pi-battery-widget on your desktop GUI, which takes care of everything. Lots more info on our website news page for things like remote monitoring (code also on GitHub), and an assembly video on Youtube. Hope that helps!
