  1. Is there ANY WAY I can get a notification that I need to plug my laptop in when I drop, say below 35%? I’m so darn busy that I don’t notice it until it drops to 18, to 22, to 28%. I don’t even look at the percentages indicator while I’m working. I need something to pop up so that no matter what, I plug it in at that time and NOT after that.

  2. Thank you for this post! Big Sur was driving me crazy in that it defaults to NOT showing battery % – who thought that was a good thing to hide by default??? … seems like determining the battery % would be the #1 reason someone would click on the Bluetooth icon but Apple hides the info in Big Sur by default. Why they make changes like that is beyond me. Sheesh. Thanks to your post, however, I’ve stopped pulling my hair out now. 🙂
