If only that were what the MBPs actually did. The real rule is, dGPU when plugged in, iGPU when on battery, _unless of course Chrome feels like forcing the GPU on for no good reason, which it will do multiple times per day_ (any app _can_ do this, but in my experience it's mostly only Chrome, and sometimes electron nonsense, that does).

Any where I can read on forcing to use the iGPU on MBPs when plugged in at compile time to be used for the runtime of an application? I figure there are some speed ups/power savings i can get when running an emulator when i'm not too concerned about fps (and way more concerned about lag between from usb input).
