And this is the only way to set the charging limit on your laptop, which is awful practice.

Oh, and of course it's so bad, that if you once uninstalled it, you need a special cleanup software which may or may not work, but most likely you're done and can't install instgain.

All to set the charging level which, say, Framework exposes in BIOS.

I know there are some Linux-based ways that are supposed to safely write the threshold to EC, but none worked in my case (reasonably new model, supported by every piece of Linux-based software I checked), and one of them flipped the VMD Controller support on, which makes my nvmes invisible to the installed OS.

Awful, terrible piece of software.
