How to Check Laptop Battery Health

What it does

Learn how to check laptop battery health before buying a used laptop. Check battery capacity, cycle count, battery report, wear level, and warning signs.

When buying a used laptop, most people check the processor, RAM, storage, screen, and overall physical condition. These are important, but there is one component that is often overlooked: the battery. A used laptop may work normally when connected to a charger, but its battery could have significantly reduced capacity. Once you unplug it, you may discover that it lasts only a short time. That’s why it is important to check laptop battery health before buying a second-hand laptop. You don’t need to be a technical expert to do this. Windows includes a built-in battery report that can provide useful information about the battery’s original capacity, current capacity, and, on…from amcitsolution.in

  Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

  Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

  I trained a 125M model to autocomplete piano on-device▲598

  I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
