^ mostly ram and power delivery components

[vital galleon]

1. True but not gonna do 5W alone
2. Sure losses but 5W is horrible efficiency
3. It's a freaking laptop
4. It's the same consumption as idle cuz OCCT was only program running
5. Same as 4
6. Wasn't benchmarking the RAM

[dusty crane]

Ram uses power always

[vital galleon]

Yes but then same as 4

[night belfry]

ram is used for literally everything and when you start stressing the CPU, it stops downclocking, and it also uses more power when active

[vital galleon]

If you end up in the case 4 then its taken into the 5W idle power

[dusty crane]

Manufactures can up the tdp of chips some too so it might be like 18

[night belfry]

look at dram read/write bandwidth in hwinfo when running stress tests unrelated to ram ;)

also clocks

[vital galleon]

Running Linux, what is HWinfo

[night belfry]

ehhh, not sure where to get in linux

[vital galleon]

Anyways time for sleps

[night belfry]

you can also open zenmonitor on linux and look at actual package power instead of guesstimating

[next pecan]

Or lower them

[dusty crane]

Ye

[next pecan]

I have manually lowered my tdp bcs manufacturer set it too high for the cooling system

[dusty crane]

I’ve been fairly fortunate at being able to up mobile chip wattage except for the one mobile Xeon I had

[dusty crane]

Oof

Same with one of my laptops but I still upped it lol

[night belfry]

I have manually set my TDP to 50 watts (from 21) and then rely on thermal throttling to keep it around 40

[dusty crane]

100c pegged at 22w from a 15w stock chip

[dusty crane]

That’s what I do with my surface

It sits at 42w lol

[night belfry]

But eh, who cares. The cpu really doesn't that much, it'll protect itself.

[dusty crane]

Ye

[night belfry]

If anything only the battery does, which is why I don't do that when charging/running on battery

The idea is to take advantage of unused electrical capacity on local grids, which the Span smart panels can pinpoint.

LMFAO

"THAT SUBURB STILL HAS CAPACITY, FIRE EM UP"

My lights dim as I hear the fans on the DataCenter9000™ on my roof kick into high gear, pulling the air from my living room to cool itself

[misty briar]

Why stop at houses
Strap a datacenter to my car daddy

Thanks google. You’ve been the best advertisement to alternatives search engines

@shadow tangle I have just tried using 2 gpus for the first time, 2nd just for frame generation, im actually surprised it worked

A little on the hot side but it worked

[brittle fox]

Gpu 1 (3070ti) rendering the game
Gpu 2 (titan x) running lossless scaling to generate frames

Even with fans on 100% I managed to get the 3070 to 80°

[hollow tree]

computers

[primal turtle]

yes

[ebon basin]

New gpu guys, is this tuff?

[primal turtle]

it sure can game

some iGPUs are faster than it but better than nothing

[ebon basin]

Yeah it's quite the upgrade from my last GPU

This one just takes up so much space yk

[tough estuary]

its not about the size, its about how you use it

[ebon basin]

I guess

[misty briar]

Dead chat as usual, but here's a spicy treat

Music time!!

[dusty crane]

spicy?!

[misty briar]

Indeed

[sage chasm]

on windows XP✌️

looks like it at least

[ebon basin]

Windows 10😭

Windows 11 is hot ass I refuse to upgrade

[sage chasm]

fu‪ck yeah i thought I'd never find anyone else who is like that

[vital galleon]

I am like that
I switched to Linux instead of accepting my defeat

[grim horizon]

just... stay on 10?

[sage chasm]

honestly i don't think i hate windows enough to leave windows all together

[vital galleon]

hell nah I'm not going to stay on an insecure OS

[grim horizon]

did we forget about ltsc

[vital galleon]

I know I got free ESU bc I live in the EU but that's not the solution

even France itself is abandoning Windows

well tbf they already did in the late 2000s with Gendbuntu (custom Linux operating system for the Gendarmerie)

I am proud of France...

they prefered switching to Ubuntu rather that using Windows Vista or 7 which were ALSO controversial versions at the time

[ebon basin]

Sorry I don't want to become a furry or work in IT down the line

[vital galleon]

you literally treated our entire police as furries

they already use Ubuntu

[ebon basin]

🤷‍♀️

[grim horizon]

an OS does not automatically make you either of those things?

this comes from someone who doesn't want to use linux as of now either btw

[vital galleon]

ya I'm not gonna become rich because I switched from Android to iOS

[grim horizon]

great example

[ebon basin]

Shits a joke

Every furry I've known has used Linux at some point or another

[grim horizon]

we weren't having a joking conversation

[vital galleon]

the opposite isn't true though

[ebon basin]

You don't have to be in a joke conversation to make a joke😭

[grim horizon]

i'm not going to take it as a joke in that scenario

[vital galleon]

every square is a rectangle but not every rectangle is a square

[ebon basin]

Sorry you guys can't handle humor, loosen up a bit

[vital galleon]

yk we take clichés seriously

[ebon basin]

🤷‍♀️

[vital galleon]

there wasn't even any mark of sarcasm in your sentence

[ebon basin]

How would you know that😭 it's a bunch of text

[vital galleon]

emojis or just formulation of text

[ebon basin]

Sure man

[vital galleon]

even punctuation

[ebon basin]

The larp is unreal

what the heck does live action role play have to do with computers?

Plenty of clock left

[hollow parcel]

is the aur package for the server just broken? or is there a workaround

[misty briar]

Welcome to 2026 old man 😔

[vital galleon]

welcome to enshittification

[sage chasm]

pile of my first windows computer 🥹 ✌️

whats left still works btw

Only thing I added on was tape

[strong swift]

i think you need to restart your pc

[sage chasm]

naw bro this thing doesn't even have a cmos battery left

i need to physically plug it in

[vital galleon]

my first Windows computer is still in one piece

[sage chasm]

mine would be too if it wasn't for my brother testing the screens durability

[solemn iris]

I just updated to Kernel 7.0.10 and for however unstable BeamNG was, it's much much more unstable.

I'm curious if there are any other bleeding edge Linux users out there that suffer a similar decline of stability

[tough estuary]

i havent seen any issues

[solemn iris]

Using the LTS helped

[thorn finch]

still on 7.0.9 but no stability issues. must be GPU driver related maybe? or VRAM

[vital galleon]

I don't even have kernel 7.0 available 😭

I have to wait for Ubuntu Backports to make it available for 22.04 repos

since LM23 is based on it

[solemn iris]

It's only BeamNG that I have issues

The Linux port was never stable, despite not always owning the same card.

[vital galleon]

the Linux port is very stable for me but I'm on kernel 6.17

[solemn iris]

It's been unstable for me even back then
