ELI5: Why do computers get so enragingly slow after just a few years?
Use a tool like smFanControl, Macs Fan Control, or Stats to manually set your fan speed to 100%. This is noisy and reduces the lifetime of the part, but it means you can force your device to cool down, even when the OS doesn't want to.

Charging a lithium battery to 80% only?
It's not possible to set a hard limit in macOS without third party utility like AlDente [1].
I was referring to the built-in "Optimised battery charging" feature. When this is active and has decided it will cap charging at 80%, you get a "charge to full now" option in the battery menu.
Linux: TLP for most manufacturers[6]
And honestly if your device can’t automatically limit charge, I concede it probably isn’t worth the micromanagement. But these kinds of devices have small, cheap, and easy to replace batteries anyway.
It’s a heck of a lot different to drive to the Apple Store and spend $250 for a MacBook battery versus the $30 battery and afternoon of work for Nintendo Switch.

Pro Tip: Use this nifty charge limiter¹ on your macbooks to limit your laptop charging. I can see a noticeable improvement in my MBP battery life.

Apple's new 80% battery limit feature should not be limited to the iPhone 15
Related: for MacOS, AlDente allows you to set a battery charge limit.
I've been using it successfully for around a year. It works pretty well sans a couple quirks due to hardware limitations e.g. if you plug in with the screen closed (sleep mode) it will charge fully to 100%.
- I hate my MacBook's “smart” charging

OpenGL 3.1 on Asahi Linux
> This is interesting, am I correct in thinking this a feature implemented by Apple and now supported by the Asahi team? Does that mean that macOS supports this charge control feature?
It does, but in a weird way. You can turn on "adaptive charging" and it will randomly decide to charge to 80%.
If you want to properly control it, just install the wonderful AlDente utility ( https://apphousekitchen.com/ ). Then you can manually control the max charge percentage. Mine is permanently set to 80% because I never really use even 40% of the battery on my M2-based laptop.

Group Menu Bar Icons
I do not like that a lot of background apps I run (some of which, because of the shortcomings of the OS; like Rectangle, Al Dente and BlueSnooze) show up in the menu bar.

Is it fine to leave M2 MacBook on charge for days at a time?
You can try an app called Al Dente It keeps the battery at a 80 % and moves between a value you can set…ex from 70% to 90% during the day, plus you can schedule a circle of discharge and top up where it goes automatically down to 20%, back to 100% for 1h then again to 80%. Plus it has other neat features as it’s not allowing to charge when the battery is too warm and other minor things

Which apps do you install first on any new Mac?
All the other ones that I'm familiar with are reasonably well summarized, but it's way off on AlDente!
