Lion. 2010 MBP battery life continues to be fucking disgusting and I could fry an egg on the base. Firefox (Flash?) and Reeder keep forcing it into discrete graphics mode for some reason.

don't use firefox!
― caek, Thursday, 20 October 2011 09:27 (twelve years ago) link
If I close absolutely everything I get 10 hours. Ideally then I can't blame Lion BUT this never ever happened on 10.6.
― Autumn Almanac, Thursday, 20 October 2011 09:52 (twelve years ago) link
10 hours is.... quite a lot?

Yes but I was getting 3–4 with stuff open.

I barely got 3 from my first MacBook w/nothing open.

seriously!
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 20 October 2011 12:37 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, I seriously wouldn't be complaining about 3-4 hours of battery on a MBP! But agreed that Firefox has become a useless piece of crap since the upgrade. I've been using Safari more these days because it's more usable, but I still don't like it very much. (For example I click on the drop-down bookmark folders in the bar and it sometimes takes three or four clicks to activate them.)

chrome is really the shit these days

i hate that it doesn't do password auto-complete, though. You have to type in the username and *then* it adds the passwords. I'm always forgetting my usernames, so I prefer it just to fill as soon as the form laods.
― stet, Thursday, 20 October 2011 13:31 (twelve years ago) link
3-4 with 6 or 7 applications open is all ive ever gotten from my mac laptops
― max, Thursday, 20 October 2011 13:37 (twelve years ago) link
chrome does p'word autocomplete for me! on some sites, at least... some times i wont remember the pword no matter what. but yeah chrome is the best--less of a memory hog than safari, plus greater customizability
― max, Thursday, 20 October 2011 13:40 (twelve years ago) link
sometimes it* wont remember the pword or username
the best advantage safari has is the address bar autocomplete
― max, Thursday, 20 October 2011 13:42 (twelve years ago) link
oh, I wonder if this is sites where I have stored multiple passwords? Safari always chooses one in that case.

AA, I used to get 5-6 hours under normal work, 8-10 just playing music with the screen off on my 2010 MBP. now it's 2011 and i get 3-4. i haven't upgraded to lion (because lol it is a pointless upgrade). that's pretty normal deterioration of battery life. are you sure this is was new with lion and not just because your mbp battery is now > 1 year old?
― caek, Thursday, 20 October 2011 15:03 (twelve years ago) link
lion is awesome fuiud
it's worth it for the sandboxed security model alone

Yeah, it dropped like a stone the day I installed Lion and never came back. I don't use the battery enough for it to have deteriorated that quickly over 15 months.
I'm only sticking with Firefox for a couple of plugins that don't have proper Chrome equivalents.

Lithium Ion Batteries age irrespective of how often you discharge them, in fact it is worse to keep them fully charged than at ~40% state of charge than full if they are not cycled.
― American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Thursday, 20 October 2011 20:22 (twelve years ago) link
You should run them all the way dead a couple times a month.
Really, it sounds to me like one of the cells in your battery died around the same time you installed Lion.

also my iphone-ipad tethering is fucked in ios5, but I'll give them a chance to fix that
― Autumn Almanac (Schlafsack), Thursday, 20 October 2011 21:38 (twelve years ago) link
maybe it wasn't lion, but re: how often you use your battery, as ed says, batteries do not work that way.
― caek, Thursday, 20 October 2011 21:52 (twelve years ago) link
sigh

forget it
Buckled, ditched Firefuck for Chrome, installed ScriptNo + AdBlock Element Hiding Helper, closed Reeder, now reliably getting 5–7 hrs battery. Sliding between full-screen apps still hits the battery but it's better than the shit I was getting before.

I've installed Chrome for everyone in our office. It's the only browser worth using on OSX right now.
― brotherlovesdub, Friday, 21 October 2011 21:08 (twelve years ago) link
There are minor niggles but the trade-off is 40% less battery time so

that sounds a lot like he's just using the ipad as a monitor - all the work is being done on the remote server.

Cloud will rule harder when iwork syncs to macs as well
― Autumn Almanac, Sunday, 6 November 2011 07:21 (twelve years ago) link
I would think that'll be another major Mac OS revision in the future, when they figure out how to finally stop exposing the filesystem to users or something.
― whoop, up the butt it goes (silby), Sunday, 6 November 2011 07:23 (twelve years ago) link
iWork already syncs to Macs, they just don't expose it in TW apps because the file formats arent compatible. You can find the files in yr Library folder, but they're useless.

quick first experience...it's not choking on my library like iTunes does. It's fast. Light on features so far but a good start.
