Apple Removes the 'Time Remaining' Battery Indicator In New macOS Update (loopinsight.com)
Apple has removed the "time remaining" battery life indicator with the new macOS Sierra update following complaints from several users of new MacBook Pro models. Apple says it stands by its 10-hour battery life claim in the new MacBook Pro models, and adds that the battery life indicator didn't show accurate information. From a report on The Loop: You can still see the image on the top of the screen, and you can see the percentage, but you will no longer be able to see how much time is remaining before your battery dies. [...] Apple said the percentage is accurate, but because of the dynamic ways we use the computer, the time remaining indicator couldn't accurately keep up with what users were doing. Everything we do on the MacBook affects battery life in different ways and not having an accurate indicator is confusing. Besides the apps we are working on all the time, there are a lot of things that are happening in the background that users may not be aware of that affects battery life.
I used to work at a place where if you put an "Out Of Order" notice on something they'd fix it by removing the notice.
We (well I, they volunteered me because I used to work in a bar) once changed a water container (after waiting four hours for maintenance to do it). Fuck me, the song and dance they made how it could have caused a disaster and so on.
I will add that, unlike them, I did it properly; I peeled off the hygiene seal rather than leaving it in place so it got rammed inside the container by the spigot. Cunts.

I used to be an operator on a Burroughs B4700 mainframe (which shows you how old I am). It used to blow these 100 amp fuses in the power supply cabinet periodically. We'd call Burroughs, they'd send someone out when they could fit it in their schedule and we'd be down for hours. Finally we found the spare fuses in the engineer cabinet so we'd pop the breakers and replace the fuses ourself. One day a Burroughs FE happened to be in when a fuse blew and we started to replace it when he blew a gasket, telling us how dangerous that was. He proceeded to start changing the fuse but neglected to throw the breakers - and knocked his ass across the room.
To stay on the subject: the B4700 did not have a battery indicator.
They can take my LifeAlert pendant when they pry it from my cold dead fingers.
Apple makes more money off their customers when said customers have facebook open than not. Letting them realize the impact it has on battery life is therefore detrimental to profit.
