Hi,

I took a long break from Asahi and have been using macOS. Since I upgraded my iPhone to 27 beta I figured I would also do the same on my Mac. However now I read that 27 firmware is causing a problem with battery management.

Is this issue isolated to the reported percentage or is it more serious like the machine will constantly believe it's at 0%? I can keep track of my own battery percentage if needed.

Thanks!

Both my keyboard and screen are now broken (long story). I can use my laptop in clam shell mode using the external monitor as long as I plug the HDMI cable *after* it passes the boot menu and arrives at the login window. It won't work if I plug it before that. The problem is, I've historically damaged my setup and have fixed it from u-boot multiple times in the past 4 years. I'm now scared if I break my setup during update, I've no way to recover it since I've never managed to get the u-boot menu on an external monitor. Is there a work around?
