Conflict of opinions about laptop battery use - which is the best way to go?

The current issue of PCWorld Magazine States that you should NOT use the battery if your laptop is plugged into the wall outlet or surge limiter; I have a HP laptop three year with Vista & IE 8, FWIW.

"However, when I disconnected the battery while using my laptop at home, got significantly lower screen within minutes, and I was soon harassed with ' the power of your battery is up to xxx percentage of power (to paraphrase here) - please connect" or similar messages.

The magazine went on to say that unpluging the battery will extend it's life, which makes sense, but I do not know how to handle this problem.

Thanks in advance!

    Can someone tell me which is the best way to have a client to download a folio on their ipad to review customer?

    Hi Winstonian,

    Ask the customer to download Adobe Content Viewer on iPad on the App Store. Then they need a free account Adobe DPS https://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com. Sign-in on the Adobe Content Viewer app.

    You need to share the folio of the producer Folio for e-mail, once shared, they will be able to view the folio on Adobe Content Viewer App.

  • [ADF, JDev12.1.3] Which is the best way to define the properties of CIU/fragments of pages. Is the approach that I have used a good choice (for a beginner)?

    Hallo,

    in my app, that I have a lot of pages and fragments in which properties (for example rendered text, disabled, Selected,...), lots of user interface components must be set, before/when the page is displayed, depending on the session and pageFlow scope attributes.

    So far I have created for each page/one backingBean brought bean fragment in which I defined an attribute for each property defined (e.g. 2 properties for each UIC: UIC is 10...) "I have 20 attributes to manage in the bean).

    Then, I linked each attribute of the bean to the respective UIC property. You can see in this my thread (unfortunately without answers ) [ADF, JDev12.1.3] backingBean bean: a lot of properties to set for lots of CIU... is better by using the properties of the binding or access code (created by ID) UIC? a small example. I put the attributes the bean Builder (or in a function of 'action' if the APP properties must be set based on the interaction of the user).

    I would like to know:

    • If it is a good approach / recommended / safe or if there is a better way;
    • If the scope backingBean is OK, or if a larger scope would be better.

    As I asked in the thread in the link above, the situation can become difficult to manage if the PPP for which setting, properties are very different.

    So I'd like if there is no alternative that I can use to get the same result with less effort.

    For example, using the class ComponentReference or invokeOnComponentAPI could simplify my life? And their use could I always use backingBean brought beans?

    Thank you

    Federico

    Federico, please understand that this forum has no sla. I have other work to do, who pays my bills. I will do my best to help, but you can not expect the instant replay.

    (1) you must not use the bean to init your beans. You can delay load or init your beans instead.

    (2) as Frank and says you can use a bean to view range and use it to make your calculations as long as you know how their parameters go to the btf

    (3) you should always use the reference of the component if you bind a component to a bean. Make a habit of all scopes.

    As we do not know how you calculate the State and how often it changes while the Working Group is on the page, it is difficult to give further advice.

  • Expansion of data store which is the best way?

    Hi all

    I want to help you on the extension of a data store. I have a HA cluster with three hosts (5.5 ESXi). the army actually share a single data store where all the virtual machines to run. the data store is created in a midsize V3700 storage ibm. the host is connected with the CF. But I want to extend the ability of the data store. I think that it is possible to do this in two ways:

    -creation of a new volume of the midsize IBM and by mapping it to all the host then developing the data store for the new LUN (extension) created.

    -expanding the existing volume of storage IBM midsize directely. While it is the ability to store data directely is increased.

    I need your help because this cluster runs mission critical VMs. Also, I read in VMware documentation that it is not recommended to use more than one number of logic unit by the store of data that each data store should be in a separate logical unit number.

    How would you propose?

    Can you do the manipulation without stopping the virtual machines?

    I'm not familiar with the storage system you use, but these storage systems are generally several controllers that can be owners of LUN presented to the hosts. With the help of only one data LUN/store you are actually 'wasting' performance, then you can consider to introduce a different unit number logic with the second controller of storage as the owner LUN and create a second data store for your virtual machines.

    Regarding resizing datasore. With ESXi 5.5 there is no more need to use extensions, i.e. to present another logic unit number and add it to the existing data store to increase its size. You can simply increase the LUN size up to 64 ~ to, rescan storage on your ESXi host adapters and then increase the size of the data store in the Properties window.

  • Using a cluster, the best way to do it...

    I wonder is there is a better way to group the controls to the right of the vi (see table). So that when you click on an arrow all the box copy this action.

    Chaz

    You're wrong matching data types. You must place the cluster within a table.

    Range of table matrix Cluster-> table control

    Drag and drop your cluster within the table.

    Or right-click on the tunnel exit in your loop and select Create-> indicator

  • What is the best way to use the Y50-70 battery please?

    I bought the laptop y50-70

    but I want to know what is the best method to use the battery.

    and the best way to recharge.

    NOTE *.

    IAM always use the cable and I gave the battery except a few times.

    Thank you very much..

    Best way to use the battery, if your laptop should ALWAYS be connected in-

    Go to eat energy Lenovo - should be a RED icon in the system tray - and choose the mode for a better health of the battery (or battery Protection or health of battery optimized mode).

    I don't know what the energy Manager version you have, but the option must seem similar. What it does is, it will keep your battery charged ONLY up to 60 percent and will increase its service life.

    Dave, I used CCleaner for many years.

    The way I used it, was to PERFORM the "cleaner" 3 times. Until the last race... happens, with 'o bytes. "

    Then, on the option 'Registry '.

    Yes, with the "register" option, too. "' With NO disaster! And, with the choice of NOT make backup copies, when you are prompted to do so.

    Same process run, too, until it says: "no problem found"!

    Are passed to the Glary Utilities, lately. It's a good program better, to find errors 440... to his 1st round.

    He did trying to mess up my computer? NO!

    It works better, because I DID used the program "Glary Utilities".

    There are 6 'process' to run on the logon page, it is unchecked, check it and you get a thorough 'cleaning '. There are more options available with this program it is with CCleaner, use "at your own risk!

    Who I am still 'in progress' to be, is, the REMOVAL of "Duplicate Files". As I don't want to delete the ITEMS, in this case, it removes EVERYTHING and causes HAVOC with my computer.

    CCleaner does NOT have this option.

    Once I have understand, I well a machine "squeaky-clean".

    Hello

    the answer is not simple.

    The Lenovo powermanager should do the job for you.

    Maybe you are able to load automatic loading in settings powermanager.

    I Don t know if the option in the new versions of powermanager is chosen as standard.

    Maybe it isn´t a switch or a checkbox, causing the Manager already does.

    But it won´t affect your battery when you leave it plugged in AC.
