Sony Vaio Battery care function increases your battery life time and battery back up in the long run by limiting the max capacity of the battery to 80% or 50%. This means the battery would only be charged to 80% in each charge-discharge cycle. The backup would be lower in the beginning, but in the long run average battery backup would be more. Thus the battery capacity is not utilized fully.

Battery life will be about 80% of the one of the fully charged battery, however, this mode prevents battery degradation and is more effective if you usually use the computer with battery power.

Clear screen on cygwin

Some one may be wondering where is the clear command on cygwin. If we type either

cls

clear

Ctrl + L

Simple, just press Control + L on the keyboard and your command line prompt cleans up.
