Happy with your Surface Pro 3's battery? Well, here's a setting that will cut the charge by half

Re: I thought this was a solved problem

I do that all the time too, as my laptop-thing's battery is also the whole lower half of the bottom, which means that if the battery's out, the whole laptop would lose its center of gravity, as well as the touchpad circuitry dangling from underneath. So I thought I'd keep the damned battery in there.

But judging from this article, this seems to be harmful practice.

What do you think?

Edit: Articles like this one: https://www.guidingtech.com/66018/keep-laptop-plugged-in/ assert that keeping the battery in the thing doesn't harm it. So who's correct? Them or M$?
