On modern CPUs they’re designed to “race to idle”. Consequently when they’re not idle they’re not very efficient. The biggest change that improves my battery life is adjusting how I do certain things. Instead of trying to slow things down even more to save power I just try to get them to finish quicker so my CPU can get back to idle (and efficient) faster.

Intel is really awful with this. AMD is better but slowly getting to Intel levels. E cores might change things up a bit, but I don’t have experience with them yet.

Quiet normally. Besides the fuel injectors which is 90% of what you hear in a modern direct injection car.

Intel is really good at making 300+ watt monster CPUs. Intel really fucking sucks at making a good laptop CPU. Apple is really good at making an incredible laptop CPU, but sucks at making a Mac Pro CPU.

Process node differences definitely play a part, but it’s almost like comparing apples to oranges.

TI made a lot of the early arm chips up until like 10 years ago. Last I heard of a TI ARM chip was like the galaxy nexus? They’re definitely not new to this space.

That’s actually great for how I use it (blocking porn communities)

t’s not just one reddit with one /r/weirdfetish. It’s potentially infinite reddits with potentially infinite /r/weirdfetish.

I’d argue that’s the biggest inhibitor. Sure the idea of a rogue mod on weirdfetish1 pisses you off so you go to weirdfetish2, but weirdfetish2 has 1/100th the user base of weirdfetish1. Instead of weirdfetish2 getting built up, the people who use it eventually just get bored and move on.

Also with reddit you could just make literally “/r/weirdfetish2” there’s nothing stopping you.

What OP experienced on reddit can’t happen here due to modlogs, and rogue moderation usually is called out here publicly.

Why would that stop anything?

There’s also value in not basing your image compression algorithm on a low resolution scan of a magazine from the 1970s.

It’s definitely been a thing for more than just a week. I saw a post complaining about this on old Reddit months ago.
