Not applicable to today’s issue. You can’t just sail to the US randomly on a boat anymore

Immigrants like me, who immigrated legally

That’s some poet, as a naturalized American I disagree. Let in people legally, with high skills and leave a bit of room for the really unfortunate (people from war-torn countries)

Because it’s not fair for people who don’t have a border with the US, like Ukrainians who have more reason to come during a war. We should have a tightly controlled southern border and be letting in asylum seekers

You don’t have the skills to be offered employment in the US? Why should Americans care about the billions of uneducated poor people? Certainly can’t take care of the whole world

I didn’t say we shouldn’t grant asylum to Ukrainians, that’s legal immigration. In fact, the illegal immigrants sour everyone’s support for asylum seekers. Why should a Mexican crossing the border in peace time be more worthy of living in the US than someone who literally got their home town taken over during war?

Undocumented means illegal. It really rustles my jimmies when people complain about sneaking in when my family had to struggle so much to immigrate legally.

They are credible threats now. I think Bluesky is a bigger threat to Twitter. Some posters said when they posted about Russia’s war they got better interactions on Bluesky because X downranks the topic

Just checked the laptop first:

It’s 9.8w on idle (including laptop screen and RAM and everything) and 16.8w scrolling a website

That’s 50% more power usage. Over 20 seconds up from 196 J to 316 J

The CPU usage is 10%, but the energy usage is NOT 6.5 watts (with 65 watts being 100% usage)

That’s not how CPU usage works

Not really, my CPU is a 65W CPU. When it chugs hard the VRM is not even warm. My cooler is much weaker

So clearly it will be using much more power when it’s loading the site. These days as you scroll down the page it will infinitely load more stuff. Can’t call that idle

My CPU boosts to 4Ghz at 1.5V loading a website

That’s hardly nothing. When it’s not doing anything it goes back to 500Mhz at less than 1V

The CPU is not doing anything when the system is turned on! I don’t run Windows spyware so it only does something when it’s told

When it’s not doing anything

The processor is not made out of water so the boiling point of water doesn’t affect it

In fact you will get the best performance at 95C because to decrease it means to decrease the clocks

If you mean to get a better cooling solution that would be better, but then running it at 95C with that better cooling solution would be better again

Once you reach a cooling solution that can take it to the maximum clocks, then there will be no performance benefit between 70C and 95C at the same clocks and you can reduce the fan speed to hit the higher temperature at less noise

The VRM temperature is a different sensor. You can have 69C VRMs when your processor is 95C

Browsing the web is not idle

It just happens, it’s a lottery

Not true, 95C is the rated safe operating temperature

The 7000 series had the Intel behavior of just clocking up until like 95C and staying there indefinitely

That’s why people thought the 9000 series was disappointment - AMD went back to balancing power efficiency and performance
