  Control fans on Apple computers

  

Temperatures are about 50-60c average on the CPU (I use Macs Fan Control to monitor it, didn't want to pay for iStat Menus). I leave the fan control on automatic right now and sometimes I do hear the fans but they aren't anywhere near max. Sometimes bursty workloads can kick the temps and fans up a bit though.

  macOS app to set battery charge limit for Intel MacBooks

I don't see it being a problem. I too use something similar to u/TerminatorXPS15 charge limiter to keep my device consistantly in around 80% state. I don't use my macbook in portable mode so battery charge cycle is still at 2. = )
