WTF was this guy doing to barely get 4 hours out of a MacBook Pro charge?


Possibly Docker for Mac.

I have to quit Docker for Mac if I want more than ~3 hours from my late 2017 MBP. If Docker decides to do whatever it's doing when it uses 300% CPU for no apparent reason, that can end up being "I have 25% battery; time to look for a place to plug in!"


When doing iOS dev (with the discrete GPU off and the recommended screen brightness) I barely get 2 hours per charge On my 2016 MBP 15”.

If I’m doing general writing and browsing, it’s basically 5 hours.
