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

- Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels 1 week ago:
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
- Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels 1 week ago:
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
- Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels 1 week ago:
Not really, my CPU is a 65W CPU. When it chugs hard the VRM is not even warm. My cooler is much weaker
- Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels 1 week ago:
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
- Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels 1 week ago:
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
- Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels 1 week ago:
The processor is not made out of water so the boiling point of water doesn’t affect it
- Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels 1 week ago:
The VRM temperature is a different sensor. You can have 69C VRMs when your processor is 95C
- Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels 1 week ago:
Browsing the web is not idle
- Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels 1 week ago:
It just happens, it’s a lottery
- Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels 1 week ago:
Not true, 95C is the rated safe operating temperature
- Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels 1 week ago:
The 7000 series had the Intel behavior of just clocking up until like 105C and staying there indefinitely
That’s why people thought the 9000 series was disappointment - AMD went back to balancing power efficiency and performance
- Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels 1 week ago:
No it shouldn’t slow down at 90C, it should clock up until it can sustain exactly 105C and stay there. That’s the optimal performance point.

I transcode video with nvenc, I don’t need Intel
- Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels 1 week ago:
My AM4 box draws 0 watts on idle. I turn it off when I don’t use it
- Comment on Can we please stop arguing about whether Bluesky is decentralized? 1 week ago:
It’s a benefit corporation which means the board has to consider the benefit to society, employees, etc.

But with those two things I have a good time
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 1 week ago:
Watch veritasium videos, they are well researched and informative. I have sponsor block and ad block so I don’t get annoyed

Honestly, at 3m (10 feet) I can’t see the pixels at 1080p. My corrected vision is no longer 20/20
- Comment on Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs 2 weeks ago:
No, I want only one DP port and to have a separate box that selects sources. That way I have the ports I want
- Comment on Taco Bell rethinks AI drive-through after man orders 18,000 waters 2 weeks ago:
Kiosks are better. I can browse the menu and make up my mind, add and remove items until my order is right. Then from my side the order is always correct, nothing is missing, nobody mishears what I wanted
- Comment on Mastodon says it doesn't 'have the means' to comply with age verification laws 2 weeks ago:
You’re not solving any issue by losing privacy. The site itself “knowing” you’re John Doe can’t tell if that’s correct or not. Only the government can verify that, so why give the info to the site?
- Comment on Mastodon says it doesn't 'have the means' to comply with age verification laws 2 weeks ago:
What stops non-anonymous certificates from being sold?
If John Doe views way too much porn, then you expect the site to shut him down? They have no ability to track other site usage. The authorities have to block him after the 10,000th download.
At that point, why does the site need to know? Either the government blocks someone’s ID or they don’t
