You can't save any more money fixing a broken battery than by replacing the broken battery. Especially given the battery is one of the cheapest things to replace.
hey @ŠtěpánBartoš before you buy a new battery you can download HWMonitor by CPUID and check what the designed capacity and current capacity of your battery is
this will tell you the wear level of the battery and let you know if you should replace it or not :)
GTX 1070 is rated for a mere 150 W, which is right at the MXM power limit. We're talking about better than TITAN X performance within a laptop power envelope!
@DavidPostill No matter how you interpret it, your battery has 87.6% of its designed capacity remaining.
using 57240 as a 100% point, you can divide 50140 / 57240 and that gives you 0.87596086652690426275331935709294
the difference between the factory full charge capacity and current full charge capacity is 57240 - 50140 = 7100. if we take 7100 and divive by the factory full charge of 57240 that gives 0.12403913347309573724668064290706
those are where the two numbers come from. the wear level percentage is how much full charge capacity you have lost, and the % reported by batterinfoview is the amount of full charge capacity you have left from the total of the factory designed
since these programs can read the battery levels, I assume the battery controller and battery in your laptop are functional.
how long does it take to charge your battery from 10% to 80%? surely it's not 5 minutes right?
@CausingUnderflowsEverywhere Depends on the quality of the individual cells. Mine started about 97% of original capacity. Now it's 63% (and is being planned for replacement).
@DavidPostill That's a battery in excellent condition for its age.
I treated my old laptop's battery similarly (remove when not in use, refrigerate if laptop is plugged in for more than a few days) and it lasted me just as long as yours is.
@CausingUnderflowsEverywhere You are confused. It was @ŠtěpánBartoš who asked the original question. Then I tried the software you recommended and panicked when I saw 13% :p
welp. My laptop's stock battery might be failing. I have a spare on hand (genuine Clevo part) and had to use it today; the difference in battery life between the two was pretty telling.
Dammit. Unplugged my laptop while under heavy load and managed to trip the overload protection on it. The battery now claims it's discharged when it's not.
Does anyone know of an editor in busybox? I'm stuck in a recovery kernel, I can mount my main filesystem but I can't run any text editors due to libraries not being found
Remote server with inept IT staff that switched me to talking to eight different people, all of which suggested a solution which would destroy all data on the server.
I have the ability to mount this recovery kernel, or reboot the server with its regular kernel, but the regular kernel won't accept ssh.
Combined with the fact that my access to this server's recovery kernel is a terminal relay that updates the screen once every five seconds and randomly disconnects.
Great news, I was able to modify one of the files to allow the web application running on the normal kernel to act as system file editor so now I can pull my important files off and nuke the server
@BenN I wrote my first Powershell answer (I'm just starting to learn it). Can you take a look and see if it can be improved? It's very short superuser.com/questions/1077374/…
well, if the quotation marks are part of it, then it's a regular expression that matches zero or more quotes, followed by notepa, followed by zero or more ds, followed by another quotation mark.
I'm completely confused. $_filedescription -like $_match does what I want if $_match=""+$Args[0]+""` and I pass notepad as the argument. That is a regular expression match, no?
If you just need to look for a substring, which matches the regex .*YOUR_INPUT.* where . matches any character (including newlines), to determine if YOUR_INPUT is in the string, then Contains works, and you don't need to use any special syntax or wildcards, because Contains implicitly does that.
@BenN $_.Description.Contains($args[0]) doesn't seem to match notepad.
I have Get-Process | where {$_.Description -ne $null -and $_.Description.Contains($args[0])} | select Path, Description, ProcessName in GetProcessName.ps1 If I run .\GetProcessName notepad I get all processes :/
@MichaelFrank That's backwards. OP is trying to find process given a description. My answer does that - I was asking for advice to improve it. I can't get @BenN one liner to work. Contains($args[0]) seems to match every description :/
@BenN Now you know why (as a complete powershell beginner) I am totally confused :p. I wrote that answer knowing no powershell at all - starting from a couple of web searches
Scoping issue. The $args inside the foreach-object (%) scriptblock is local to that scriptblock. The following works:
"`$args: $args"
"`$args count: $($args.length)"
$a = $args
# this fails
0..$($args.length - 1) | %{ $a[$_] = ($a[$_] -replace '`n',"`n") }
$a
So it gets set to blank in the where block, but other variables remain unless shadowed
That's an interesting design decision of which I was previously unaware

Eh... I wouldn't have approved that edit. It should be retyped into text if it was going to stick around. But I feel like the question should be closed.
Is there a way to edit a file if there are no vi, vim, joe, mcedit? In another words is there a way to edit a file using just the shell commands?
