  • I don’t believe that because this isn’t about capacity calibration, but more so that the battery voltage is almost constant between about 20% and 90%, though varies by battery type, and no matter what, the controller can’t exactly know how much the battery is actually charging and discharging so it has to guess the current state. I’ve seen this happen on a Dell XPS laptop I have from work, I manually set it to limit charging to 80% since the built in “Primarily AC Use” mode cycles it around 95%, and it doesn’t do the occasional recharge to 100% by itself, so about once a month it would jump from whatever percentage it was at to 7%, even from 80%.

    I bought a new laptop with 16 GB of DDR5 (8 GB soldered and 8 GB socketed) as it was super cheap for an 8840HS, and was planning to buy a 48 GB SODIMM for 120€ but held off on it for multiple reasons, thinking “it can wait and I can make do with less memory for now”

    Yeah that 48 GB stick now costs 500€ which is just 50€ short of the entire laptop…
