    The state of modern technology is so unhinged that not only has it been a basic feature of the core operating system for almost a decade, enabling it on any device that doesn’t intentionally break the feature is literally just creating a specific text file with the desired charge limit as an integer.

    echo "80" > /sys/devices/platform/google,charger/charge_stop_level

    I wish we owned the things we bought. 🙃

      Why would you want to own the stuff you buy? Imagine the overwhelming burden of ownership crushing you and you won’t feel that way anymore.

        You’re right, how short-sighted of me. Thank you corporate overlords for saving me the burden of managing your text files for you.
