And CRTs dont???

As soon as you use a digital input you lose any real latency advantages. Plus modern digital displays have such low latency the difference really doesn’t matter.

There is no meaningful data for the OS to capture if it used as a display for externally connected devices.

Except that some of these devices are periodically “screenshotting” the screen and harvesting data from that.

Pair that with automatically connecting to open wifi networks and nothing is truly safe.

The surveillance is mostly done on the inside of the car, not the outside. Parking sensors don’t really provide useful data for them to harvest, but that is why they cost so much to replace. If you don’t care about parking sensors you can just replace your bumper without them, the car doesn’t really care after you tell it “you didn’t ship with parking sensors”.

Are you really going to yell over someone accidentally taking the wrong ham and cheese sandwich?

We use node.js with puppeteer for some of our web crawling at work. It’s pretty straightforward once you have a basic script to launch it. If you havent already I’d highly suggest installing vs code. You install node.js, then using npm (node package manager) install puppeteer and whatever other dependencies you might have. Someone out there probably has a basic js file out there that will open chrome, or just ask an LLM (I just use ChatGPT, they’re all the same shit). From there you just need to navigate to your pages, then use a queryselector and .click() to click on your elements. It’s all javascript from there.

Pro tip: write your queryselectors in your browser using the inspect element/console tab, then put it in your JS file. Nothing is worse than being 10 minutes into a crawl and you’ve got a queerselector.

You’re going to want to do a lot more reading ahead of time then. It’s not hard, but you really need to know some basics about javascript before you start.

Now they’re are doing it? There is nothing new about this, this has been a thing for YEARS.

Oof, in only a couple years it was worthless.

Are you on Windows or Linux? On windows 11 go to settings > power and battery > power mode and if you set it to high performance it almost doubles the TDP of the CPU. On windows 10 click the battery and drag the slider to high performance. If what I read online is correct the T14 and the T15 are the exact same heatsink and motherboard so unless the 1" gap from the end of the heatsink to the vent is that much of a problem they should perform exactly the same, just like the later T14 and T16 models. But 4 years is more than enough time for the thermal paste to be toast. My P1 ruined it’s paste in less than 6 months, but that’s also an i9.

But that’s the world of modern Intel CPUs. Turbo boost as far as you possibly can until you can’t turbo anymore. Then in 6 months when the thermal paste is ruined you’re searching for a new machine.

Change your thermal paste. These machines (as do all modern machines) run hot, and their paste doesn’t last long if you’re a heavy user. Find a thermal paste that’s thick in particular.

The pump out effect is really drastic on these modern CPUs if you’re constantly hitting 100% load.

The only thing I’m really curious about is how far back the CPU gets throttled with the dGPU active and busy.

On both of my machines when I render a video using my GPU the CPU is still the limiting factor because of the codec I chose. On my 11th gen machine it took like 5 minutes before it was power throttled down to 25 watts. My gen 6 takes longer to power throttle and only goes down to 35 watts, but either power level that sucks. I already know the gen 7 dials back the clock speeds, but I’m mostly curious how far it goes and how quickly?

The easiest way to test this is just open a video game that’s taxing on the CPU and GPU, I don’t think the CPU throttles with light loads like if you opened furmark. Maybe benchmarking software would cause it to throttle.

Let me know how the thermals are on that machine. I ended up paying out the ass for a refurbished gen 6 because it comes with the 4090 and a MUCH bigger heatsink. From what I saw initially in the reviews the performance is worse not just because the 100 series has worse IPC, but the machine doesn’t actually boost as much since it’s more thermally limited.

HOWEVER the machine gets a LOT better battery.

My gen 4 would get anywhere between 30 minutes and 2 hours of battery life unless I’m doing literally nothing on it. This gen 6 gets like 4 hours unless I’m heavily taxing it. But from people online I saw them say 7 hours is easily doable. And having a GPU that doesn’t use 20 watts sitting idle sure helps.

Which series? T/P or one of the economy options? The T, X, W, and later on P series have been the only models people really like.

We have a few T series at work and they’re not bad. My T14 Gen. 1 doesn’t thermal throttle at all as long as its thermal paste isn’t toast. It will run at basically its full all core boost speeds all day long. The newer 12th Gen. machines dial their clocks back a smidge under full load, but that’s because they have 2x the cores of my measly 10th Gen. machine.

Also I have a T14s AMD and that thing is a BEAST for such a small machine. 35 watts out of an AMD 6 core is no slouch for something that small. And I easily get 7+ hours of battery life out of my abusive use.

They didn’t. They did kinda change the goalpost though.

Which model did you get? The i7 or the i9? The i7 models have a minimum guaranteed TDP of 28 watts, while the i9 is at least 35. But 35 watts on such a high end CPU is dire. The Gen. 7 also killed their high end GPU options, but maybe that leaves more power headroom for the CPU.

That’s still better than my P1 Gen. 4 which throttles down to 25 watts. 25 watts on an 11th Gen. i9 is AWFUL performance.

Fully autonomous (no driver needed) or is level 3 self driving enough? (tesla straddles that line)

Ban them for a year or two.

I think valve game’s longest ban length is like 5 years.

More than just the cellular radio.

I think this was built into the SOC itself, or the GPS module, but it runs 100% independently of your OS, even on custom firmware.
