15 years later, and Linux Power management still doesn't work on laptops, among many other things, that's why I switched to mac.
U can still run linux in the cloud, where it works well.
- gcr 3y agoGoogle Meet lasts about 1h 20min on my 2021 M1 MacBook Pro, so it seems about right
- jwells89 3y agoIf this is using Chrome it’s likely because Meet uses non-hardware accelerated codecs there. Under Safari it’ll use accelerated h.264 and be much easier on battery.
- herodoturtle 3y agoThis comment caught my eye - because I'm using Chrome too. Is there a way to enable hardware accelerated codecs in Chrome + Meet? (I have no idea what that means, I'm just quoting you) I checked my Chrome settings and "Use hardware acceleration when available" is enabled for what that's worth.
- jwells89 3y agoNot sure. There’s extensions that force YouTube to serve h.264 so it seems like something similar should be possible with Meet.
- sgt 3y agoDoesn't seem right. I used Google Meet for a few hours the other day and it was still at 93%. This is a MacBook Pro M2
- 1970-01-01 3y agoNot sure why you were downvoted, as this is Ask HN, and you replied with a fact. Power management is my GOTO retort when I meet a Linux fanboy: "Linux runs the US nuclear submarine fleet!" "Of course it can run there, they have unlimited power available."
- jamespo 3y agoSo does the power point that 95% of laptops are plugged into and they don't charge $200 for 8gb of memory either.
