English term or phrase: turned everything down
Going through a chapter after editing can take some time, more time than usually afforded by my laptop computer’s battery. My laptop wasn’t a “newfangled, lasts for 8 hours on one battery” laptop, but one that would do three hours on a good day if I didn’t push it hard. Unfortunately, I needed more than three hours to finish what I needed to do. This is where creating a custom power plan came in. I turned everything down. The screen gave off almost no light, the processor was restricted to a few percent of its maximum speed, and every noncritical device was switched off
