Alex was a software developer, always juggling tasks, managing projects, and staying on top of countless files. Each day, Alex began by logging into their system. The first thing Alex did was to check the Battery remarks in the settings, which provided them with clear guidance on whether to plug in the charger or proceed with their day, based on the battery status.
