Keep laptop battery charged between 50 to 80% (or other custom limits). At home/office it can turn off the smart plug that the charger is connected to, and while away it will popup a message when the specified limit is breached. Home/away is detected using the Wireless network name.
#
#
##************************************* INFO SECTION *******************************
#
#
# This script tests the current battery status and uses that information to :
# a) AT HOME: Turn the smart Plug on/off
# b) AWAY: Alert the user
# See all available battery info using Get-wmiobject win32_battery |Format-List *

When you have multiple languages configured and are using alternative English keyboards, the US English keyboard keeps being added automatically, This unnecessarily complicates language swithching, but can easily be solved if you have admin permissions.
reg delete "HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Keyboard Layout\Preload" /f
