Tips for saving battery

1. **Reduce brightness!**
Screen is the biggest power consumer
2. **Close tabs!**
Close excessive tabs in your browser, if you don't need them. More opened tabs means more cpu throttling -> more power consumption.
3. **Away from browsers**
You can watch YouTube videos directly in //mpv// or //smplayer// with //mpv// as engine, thus avoiding using web browser for this. //youtube-dl// can also download (or forward direct link to other programs) videos from wide range of online video websites.
4. **Turn off wifi**
Turn of wifi if you don't need internet. This can save some power.
5. **Enable** [[Recommendations|Hardware Video Acceleration]]
