Many don't know that Lenovo is a Chinese company who owns other prominent companies
I am not against Lenovo in any way, they have been making excellent products over the years, I am just surprised that many don't realize that it's a Chinese Company, despite them being such a big player in the PC market. Lenovo first acquired IBM's PC division in 2005, which majorly consisted of the Thinkpad and ThinkCentre models.
Other facts,
In 2014, Lenovo acquired Motorola Mobility which consisted of their Phone Business. In the same year, Lenovo purchased IBM's Server business.
In 2017, Lenovo obtained a 51% stake in Fujitsu through their PC Joint-Venture.
There are other companies that Lenovo ones, what do you guys think ? Do you think there are others worth noting ?

Limit Battery charging on Laptop ?
I have a Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5i running a 10th gen Intel i5, I tried using TLP to set the battery charging limit to 80 but it always went over 80, but I did this using the TLPUI, where it mentioned that it was for Thinkpads, but I assumed that it should work in general. Is there any way to limit battery charging at all ?
