Have the system do something intensive and see how much the temps climb. Let it work for a few minutes and see - that will tell you if your system is thermal throttling or not.

Yeah, that all looks okay. Did you put the system under heavy load while checking/monitoring?

You literally ‘print’ to pdf. Instead of a physical page appearing from the demon box, it will give you a prompt of where to ‘print’ your file. Windows has it too, though I always use the pdf export and not the print. But in a pinch it’s good.

penis? No wait, that doesn’t sound right…

Unsure if joke or not, ha. I don’t even remember what I set in my bio for FL, its been a couple years since I set that account up…

Why make 4 cylinder engines when you can get 12 cylinder engines instead?

(cost, hardware requirements or restrictions, use case…)

This grinds my gears any time that a product is touted as lasting X time. Did you put it through a typical use case or scenario for that X time? No? Then you cannot definitively say that it will last that long.

Based on their bullshit statement, I can last 7 years pounding someone’s ass relentlessly without pause for any reason. Trust me bro.

Thermal throttling is when the system (usually the cpu) becomes so hot from the lack of cooling provided to it, that it limits its performance to save itself from certain death - going so far as performing a hard shutdown if the situation doesn’t improve or stabilize. AMD chips usually throttle at 80C, Intel chips 100C, but it could be a few different components. You need to run software that can properly read and report the temperature of various parts in your system to see if you might be hitting the throttling threshold.

I know software to do this for windows, but not any for *nix.

My Pixel dis/enables it on a press. Long press for devices.

(the joke here is getting fined for driving a car and yet the cyclist is, in fact, not in a car)

I was 110% a Google fan until about 9 years ago, when Project Fi was headed towards public release, and devices purchased from them (effectively through the Google Store with a different sticker on the box) kept mysteriously going missing in transit, and the customer got an empty box/a brick/whatever. This is annoying on its own, but G/Fi cs response to these instances were awful. As I was a Fi user (woo closed beta gang), and I bought my devices thru Fi, I became concerned that this might happen to me. That thought quickly snowballed, and I started migrating out of the G ecosystem because the realization that their cs is useless and if I ever have a dispute or situation, they can just delete my account without giving a single fuck.

To pay a company money and not receive some assurances that my data won’t be wiped out of the blue while I am asleep, is - in my opinion - fucking stupid as hell. I don’t know how the apple situation is, but until proven otherwise, fuck both of them for anything you care about.

Drunk cyclist: oh no! what will I do for transportation now?

DC: wait

42, says an online calculator

No escape from reality

And yet lots of it is hoarded by people who think that being shiny and heavy are qualities that are worth lots of money

“this rock I found is special” “why?” “it’s shiny and heavy”

And some poor dumbass was like “fuck yeah gimme that shit”. Same with jewelery…

We already have the slow agonizing death part down to a science

Watching? Some of us higher beings prefer lewd art instead. Come across something really spicy, set it as your wallpaper and pass it around like a collection plate for all to appreciate.
