Hmm, I have the air with m1, and my battery life is insane. Like 20 hours, even with a parallels vm running some of the time.

I do however have no idea what discord is. Isn’t it some kinda forum?

Also using safari when on battery doubles your life, fwiw.

Budding Slack competitor that started with a focus on gaming. If you couldn't guess from the context of its eating battery like crazy, it's a webtech "application".

Discord is like Slack, with video calls. I’m using Safari.
