# check settings depended on charger/battery
pmset -g custom
# let system use dedicated graphics card when charger plugin
sudo pmset -c gpuswitch 1
# let system use graphics card auto switch when using battery
sudo pmset -b gpuswitch 2
# let system use auto switch on charger/battery (my default setting)
sudo pmset -a gpuswitch 2
