    iPhone Running personal records

    I cannot recommend the Workout Sessions app enough for tracking e.g. your personal records for e.g. running, cycling or for other workouts. It has no ads, tracking (unless you want it to use GPS), uses Apple Health data e.g. retrieved from Apple Watch but also works great with Garmin watches...

    Battery Health Plan

    Was handed down a 2019 15” MacBook Pro and am going to use it in a remote office. As it will be stationary on a desk the entire time, wanted to know the best way to treat the internal battery. Apple recommends fully discharging it once a month. Do I just keep it plugged in the rest of the time...

    Battery Insanity

    I've stumbled into some minor obsessive insanity regarding the best battery health practices for my new 2020 MBP 13-inch. This machine replaces a 7-year-old late-2013 retina 13" that was always plugged in when not in use, including overnight. Those practices run contrary to much of what I'm...
