Should I keep my laptop powered on all the time?

You cannot overcharge the laptop's battery
Related: Debunking mobile phone, tablet and laptop battery life myth

It is important to understand the basics of how standard lithium-ion (Li-ion) and lithium-polymer (LiPo) batteries work in modern equipment. There are a lot of myths about batteries.
These batteries cannot be "overcharged". When you reach 100% charge and keep your notebook powered on, the charger will stop charging the battery. The laptop will run directly through the power cord. After the battery is briefly discharged, the charger will start up again and stop the battery. By charging the battery, it will not damage the battery.
As time goes by, all batteries wear out (for some reason)
As time goes by, your laptop battery will always run out. The more charge cycles a battery passes through, the more it loses. Different batteries have different ratings, but you can usually expect about 500 full charge cycles.
This does not mean that you should avoid discharging the battery. High-power storage batteries are not good for this. On the other hand, it is not good to let the battery run out of power every time it is used. It is not possible to tell the laptop to charge the battery with about 50% of the battery, which may be the ideal choice. Most importantly, high temperatures can also cause the battery to wear out more quickly.
In other words, if you plan to put your laptop battery somewhere in the closet, it's best to keep it at about 50% of the charge and make sure the closet is quite cool. This will extend battery life.
If you can, please remove the battery to avoid fever
This is one thing: the heat is not good. Therefore, if your laptop has a removable battery, you may need to remove the battery from your laptop if you plan to insert it into your notebook for an extended period of time. This ensures that the battery is not exposed to all unnecessary heat.
This is especially important when the laptop is running very hot, such as a powerful gaming laptop running demanding PC games. If your laptop is running cool, you won't get much benefit from it.
Of course, many modern laptops no longer have a detachable battery, so in these cases, this technique will not work.

But should I not plug in?
In the end, it is not clear which battery is worse. Keeping the battery at 100% capacity reduces its useful life, but running it through repeated discharge and charge cycles also reduces its useful life. Basically, no matter what you do, the battery wears out and loses capacity. This is how the battery works. The real problem is what makes it die more slowly.
Laptop manufacturers are everywhere. Apple has suggested not to plug the MacBooks all the time, but they are no longer included on their battery recommendations page. Some PC makers say it's okay to always plug a laptop into a power source, while other PC makers suggest there is no obvious reason to object.
Apple once recommended charging and discharging the laptop battery at least once a month, but it is no longer doing so. If you are concerned that your laptop is always plugged in (even if it is a PC laptop), you may need to charge it once a month for security reasons. Apple once suggested doing this to "keep the flow of battery juice." However, whether this will help depends on the device and its battery technology, so there is actually no omnipotent answer.

Occasional discharge and charging can help "calibrate" the battery
Occasionally charging your laptop fully can help calibrate the batteries on many laptops. This ensures that the laptop knows exactly how much power is left and can show you accurate estimates. In other words, if your battery is not properly calibrated, Windows may think that there is actually only 20% of the battery left at 0% and the laptop will shut down without warning too much.

By having the laptop's battery (almost) fully discharged and then recharged, the battery circuit can understand the remaining charge. Not on all devices. In fact, Apple made it clear that there is no longer a need for a modern MacBook with a built-in battery.

This calibration process does not increase battery life or maintain more energy, only to ensure that the computer gives you accurate estimates. But this is one of the reasons you don't want to plug in your laptop all the time. When you unplug the power cord and use it for battery power, it may show you an incorrect battery life estimate and die before your expected life.

The laptop's battery won't run out forever, no matter what you do, its capacity will gradually decrease over time. All you have to do is hope that the laptop's battery will run out until you can replace it with a new one.

Of course, even if the laptop's battery capacity drops, you can continue to use it anyway, just plug it in.

AWS and Vodafone focus on bringing new opportunities to enterprises through 5G and edge computing

The issue of turbulence in the global environment has caused many leaders to ask: What creates a competitive advantage? At a recent Amazon Web Services (AWS) telecom seminar, Jennifer Didoni, head of Vodafone’s business 5G cloud and services (ennifer) Didoni) answered this question at the right place at the right time in her speech, and moved to Edge. Didoni said: "Competitive advantage comes from being able to obtain actionable insights at the right time, in the right place, and with the right people." This concept is the same as my book "Instant Experience: Using Mobile and Big Data to Deliver Value"-- The written content is consistent. Just-in-time experience (RTE) is the product, service and workflow It can provide a person with correct information and services when needed or expected. These experiences provide consumers, employees and partners with information and services that they need (or hope to have) when they need it. Mobile, computing, big data analysis ...

Playing with mobile phones hurts the eyes and hurts the brain. US media: Every day "sun" blue light will accelerate aging

图片
According to the US media, a study on fruit flies found that Drosophila, which is exposed to blue light for 12 hours and 12 hours in the dark, has a shorter life span than flies that are completely in the dark or under blue light filtered light. According to a report by the United Press International website on October 22, research on animals shows that exposure to blue light from smartphones, computers and household devices every day may speed up the aging of people, even if the blue light does not reach the eyes. According to researchers at Oregon State University, blue light from LEDs can damage cells and retinas in the brain. It has been reported that the retinal cells and brain neurons of Drosophila exposed to blue light are damaged and their climbing ability is also impaired. The report also said that some fruit flies are mutants that do not have long eyes, but even mutant flies can cause brain damage and exercise damage when exposed to blue light. The researchers say th...

Apple will release a futuristic iPhone with no holes and no holes next year

图片
According to rumors, a spherical iPhone without buttons will be available next year. Allegedly, this game-changing device will have a completely glass body, removing all holes, ports and other external features. Users will be forced to charge wirelessly instead of plugging in their phones and using Bluetooth headsets instead of wired headsets. The news came from prolific Apple leaker Jon Prosser, who often predicted them before Apple ’s upcoming new product release. According to Prosser, Apple intends to release the iPhone without an interface sometime in 2021. He tweeted last week that Apple ’s ultimate goal is to release only iPhones with no ports or vulnerabilities. This may sound far-fetched, but Apple did submit the design of this device to the US Patent and Trademark Office earlier this year. It looks a bit like smooth high-tech pebbles, Apple described its invention as a "six-sided glass shell." Technically, there are "buttons" on the side of t...
