The MacBook already charges slowly by LiPo standards, I'm guessing they picked a charge rate beyond which slowing down further was giving deminishing returns. You'd definitely get more longevity out of it by shifting the 0 and 100

What to batteries have to do with clothes dryers...? You're comparing a consumable good to a household appliance. Household appliances are expected to last 5 years. 7-10 is pretty normal.

Considering the 64 bit support problem has been going on for over five years now and the magical 3GB limit is increasingly absurd on modern hardware, I wonder if they've considered just giving up on VS and doubling down on VS Code. It

I stuck with VS Code. To be honest, I don't think it's even in the same league as ST or Atom due to the amount of integrated tooling. The integrated debugger, git, and task runner management is a god send. VS Code is also the only
