    Disable discrete graphics (currently nvidia only)

  • Not sure if you'd want to on a new computer, but you could always try to repaste and undervolt (which is enabled on tigerlake-H processors!). If you don't need to use your DGPU often, you can try to disable it with BBSwitch.

  • TLP

    TLP - Optimize Linux Laptop Battery Life

  • Other than that, you can also try using TLP which allows you more granular control of your processor. I assume that "more battery life tips" also mean lower temps.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
