Being stuck at an airport I tried my best to get the most out of the battery of my Thinkpad laptop.
So I ran powertop and decided to change, by way of the BIOS settings from nVidia to Intel video.
The typical power drain went from ~23 Watts with nVidia down to around 13-15 Watts with Intel, I would say that's significant!
The result was I got nearly 5 hrs out of the battery of this almost 3 y/o W520.
Because it is over two years ago I stopped experimenting with Bumblebee I wonder does anyone have recent experience with that project?
Another question came up, changing this setting in the BIOS writes changes to it's memory, is there a chance of wearing out the BIOS memory?
The last one is I noticed the TeamViewer daemon was running, where should I look to disable it's autostart?
