The battery lasts about a mont in that laptop and gets worse quickly over time when not regularly charged.

I'm not sure if the short runtime is caused by the design-decision of using a rechargeable battery or a big power-draw from it.

For me this is also the first laptop that ever had an issue like that. Even my decade old thinkpad is still on its first CMOS battery.

It's a coin-cell battery. Traditionally it was used to keep the memory that stores the bios-settings and the real-time-clock powered when the PC was turned off.

By now the bios settings are stored ona different kind of memory, so it doesn't need power when turned off.

But the rtc still needs power when the laptop is off as well as other stuff (for example the circuitry that makes the power-button work)

In the framework it's also rechargeable, so you can't just swap it for a cheap one from the store once it runs out.

I have a 11th gen Intel Framework 13 running PopOS.

Everything is fine except the ~~bug~~ feature with the rechargeable CHMOS battery. On my model it only charges when the laptop is charging. (They changed that behavior in all later model afaik)

Since I use my laptop only sporadically I can't just pick it up and use it right away because that battery is always empty. When it's empty the power button doesn't work even when the main battery is fully charged.

I want it to be not there by default.

The people who want it can download it.

Keep your propaganda to yourself.

That's a bold move.

They'd better make sure the phone holds up and doesn't break within half a year or something.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned here yet is that windows 8 is out of support since January 2023.

It's good that you don't use it for anything because there are for sure as hell security issues with it by now.

But the crime already happened at that point.

No, because Apple doesn't allow 3rd-party devs access to the jit-api they would need to emulate 3DS games smoothly.

I'm not British.

What war?

idk, all the stuff that worked just fine before brexit maybe.

I believe there's a better way to teach people that without consuming the electricity of a small country.

I'm still assuming death is inevitable at some point.

If I get "death by plane crash" for example, I don't necessarily have to fly for this to happen.
