Sure, the standard Intel drivers would randomly throttle my CPU into unusability or completely disable turbo boost for hours. I switched to the acpi driver and used the performance and powersave governors when appropriate. This, however, resulted in even worse battery life and somewhat subpar performance.
Oh, and to be clear. The Intel driver would disable turbo boost even when the laptop was plugged in and the CPU wasn't running hot.
I had other issues when the CPU would run hot, but that turned out to be a faulty sensor triggering BD_PROCHOT. In fact, this was the issue that ThrottleStop allowed me to find and solve.
EDIT: The reason why I knew that this was a faulty sensor and not BD_PROCHOT doing its job was because I manually measured the temps on various components, each of which was completely within its normal operating temperature.
Interesting. I'm having trouble with my amd laptop stuttering a lot. It is worse under load of course, but even without any I can see random input/output lag.
Amd is developing a new governor (amd_pstate) for their cpu, you may have better luck with it ?
On my laptop it works well and helped reduce the number of spikes. It requires a recent cpu and kernel though.
I've found that random stuttering is often an indication of a drive about to go bad, especially if you have a spinning drive attached.
That said, I saw a lot of fan curve, temp issues in the later Intel macbooks... I had a $4000 macbook pro i9 that was effectively unusable with background services or Docker containers running at all.
They may not have permission to share it. They may just be acting coy because the scope of the conversation. They may just not know it. They may feel it just doesn't matter. Who knows?
A S76 QA engineer shared more details on Reddit.
> The chassis and motherboard for this product are manufactured by a company called Emdoor. The final assembly will be done in-house at System76's Denver factory (the same place Thelios and Launches are manufactured.)
is the touchpad better? Have to agree with GP that clevo touchpads are bad, i have the orpy5 and the touchpad is the worst. Its bad on windows too so it isn't just some linux driver thing. Super easy to do stray palm presses and send the cursor to random places.
Can you elaborate how you find gas more convenient that an induction stove?
I've worked in a kitchen with gas and I found it awful. It was harder to clean, you had to be really careful to not burn yourself when you had to do a quick wipedown. Making sure not only that you turned it off, but that anyone else there wasn't forgetful either.
Induction like I have at home now is so convenient. I have no worries. It responds super quick to temp changes, it automatically detects if I have something on the stove or not, so no fear of wasting power. You can't burn yourself. The surface is flat and super easy to keep clean.
If the power is out I can cook my perishables for fun, it does the fire thing when you sauté which is somewhat cathartic.
I’ve only rented one place with a gas stove and it was mind blowing how good it was compared to those god awful glass top electrics (which I own now) despite it being ancient. Hated the oven though, hence gas range / electric oven.
It's nice to see more collaboration.
With the apparent interest in bevy, is there any chance that you will try to integrate the UI project xilem with bevy? Seems like it could be a great fit, and if it happens before the bevy project chooses a direction the two project could probably both benefit. Bevy for the great xilem architecture and xilem from the big community of developers that bevy has
I'd love to see work along these lines, and hope to talk with Cart soon. However, I'm stretched thin as it is, so certainly won't be leading any such integration work. My main goals for 2023 are to get Vello in real usable shape, and there's quite a lot to be done there (the roadmap is in draft and will be published soon, probably today).
I use this for my radeon RX 5700XT: https://gitlab.com/corectrl/corectrl
You can use it for cpu as well, but i havent felt the need to fiddle with any settings there.
Remember on the other side of every advertisement is a business desperately trying to reach customers.
We could certainly do without the tracking, dark patterns and other unscrupulous behavior but at the core, advertising is businesses trying to reach new customers.
I mean I still block ads and recommend ublock origin to people I know but I also see the other side of it.

I think my biggest gripe is how dramatically we undervalue people's attention. Not just the businesses but as a culture as well. Studies are finally coming out shining a light on the incredible long-term harm the attention economy has on people's mental health
> Also read: "a business that thinks its entitled to dozens to thousands of people's attention"
true, the vast majority of businesses probably don't deserve the attention they're trying to get via ads.

Well we've got a market now, and one of the things they're pretty good at doing is establishing pricing, so we can measure it a bit more now.
The attention economy is pretty broad -- I do wonder how much of that is mixed up with the various platforms' attempts to get you addicted so they can also serve you ads. The old internet with banner ads on pages/blogs you went to didn't seem quite so bad for mental health in particular.
For example I don't think people suffer mental health issues from recipe sites with lots of ads and autoplay videos, despite how annoying and wasteful it is.
Remember that advertisers have the majority of the power in this relationship because they're the ones with the money. If advertisers demanded that ad networks only showed ads in an ethical manor they'd comply. Advertisers don't however, because they don't care.
You don't get to play the game of "oh this thing we're trying to do is ok" but ignore the fact all your methods to do it are are unethical and you know that and you still continue to use them.
Post needs to have the title updated. Even though it is called OpenMower it is not open source, it uses the CC-BY-NC-SA license. The readme of the project has been updated to remove the claim that it is.
I think there is a certain difference between the show pausing for 5 minutes to show me an ad of a brand new Jeep, that has absolutely nothing to do with the show I was watching, and the character in the show using a brand new Jeep with the logo prominently visible. The first one gets in the way of me enjoying the show, the second one does not.
The comparison between a long ad break and a single minor product placement isn't a fair, I've never seen a single 5 minute ad for a car on TV. But I guess it does answer the question of how some people think.
I got bitten by this bundle of reviews thing. Amazon was made available in my country some time ago.
I went on there to buy video capture device to help convert my parents old tapes to video.
I found the device listing I was looking for, with good reviews. Placed my order.
Then a counterfeit showed up, completely different from the spec sheet and the image on the listing.
I filed a complaint, but they wouldn't give me my money back unless I paid to ship it back to half way across the continent, where they sent it from. Despite them just sending me a piece of electronic waste rather than the real product. Nor would they do anything about the listing.
Disputing the transaction with your card issuer is the only answer companies will understand. The company wins as long as more users eat the losses (essentially giving Amazon free money) than those actively fighting for their money back.
