18 hours battery life is mostly marketing. Not even sure how to test that, maybe on 20% display brightness with no programs running, other than the OS...assuming it doesn't take screenlock/display off into account?
Benchmarketing. It has hardware support for video codecs so it can play video efficiently in particular even though people traditionally think of that as something processor intensive.
The question is, what's the battery life when you're doing kernel compiles or GPGPU.
That feels about right to me too. I don't know if I'm usually just doing more computationally intensive stuff than most with my 16" M1 Pro, but I think the only way I could get anywhere near the advertised numbers is if I basically just had Safari open and the display on half brightness.
And not to beat the already long dead horse any more, but toss in some electron apps running in the background, I probably average somewhere around ~7 hours or so. I'm not convinced the 10+ hour lifetime is possible if you've got stuff like Discord/Slack/VS Code open.
But in terms of when I am doing truly evil things to it, I am surprised it lasts as long as it does, be it max CPU compiling or all of this morning when I was toying around with stable diffusion, it gets around ~4 hours or so.
Yes, I think the parent comment was referring to the need to either check in the HTML or have it generated server side: "define a CI task that uses Emacs to export to HTML".
Yes, this was the idea. Note taking in plain org is very convenient as you can back it up in a git forge (GitHub or GitLab) and notes can serve as a wiki for a small organization.
However, rendering is missing some features. By using a CI task that generates HTML (using Emacs, but on the cloud) it's possible to overcome this (hopefully temporal) limitation.

Plus, the first sentence.
The guy's name is Donato Giannotto.Not being mean, just fun to say.
Edit: not at all funny and irrelevant, apparently.
