I can’t speak on which is the best. I haven’t compared them on modern systems.

But what I will say is make sure you’re not artificially limiting your power levels or clock speed too much. Big fat Intel CPUs like that are power hogs when active. They need to reach an idle state. I have a laptop with an i9 11950h which is the same thing. But with the power plan on the lowest I get worse battery life and performance than if I just left it on balanced. But it depends on the workload. If there is no idle then power save might be best. But if you’re browsing the web and not constantly scrolling then balanced might just be better.

Ummm… what?

My dynamic IP almost never changes. I’ve had 3 in the last 10 years. How often does yours change?

There’s also dynamic dns if yours changes often.

What makes them background? I still had to reboot my phone to complete the install.

Once you accept the certificate it being not blessed isn’t much of an issue. And just turning it on should just generate a self signed certificate on anything not a piece of shit.

A new Camera Remote feature allows users to press the Digital Crown on the AirPods Max 2 to take a photo and start or stop video recording

Uh… cool? Do you have to be wearing them to use this? Or can you hide them awkwardly behind your back?

They don’t normally do that for high end stuff. Like they’ll sell the iPhone 16 still, but not a 16 pro.

Maybe by you… Unfortunately.

Back to the ol pysx GPU days. Except physx made the game cooler.

iPhone: iOS

Main Android phone: grapheneos

Anything else: whatever it came with.

I gave up on custom roms like a decade ago and switched to iOS. Graphene is stable enough I’ll deal with it. Although I hate how annoying it is about locking the bootloader and root.

I do that with my tower fan and it’s incredible. Just zip tied the filter on and let er blast.

Mac OS is my favorite Linux distro.

Yeah but managing it fucking sucks.

On iOS with AirPods there’s spatial audio which does this.

Then you’re losing pcie lanes, and you have to deal with split storage or software raid which doesn’t always work the best.

VMs mostly. What are you hosting on Minecraft that isn’t using >=4 gigs?

Also ZFS.

Any AMD system that’s pretty new gets WAY worse battery life on Linux. AMD does some insane optimizations for windows. But it takes a few years before they make their way to Linux.

I think in the last 6 months there’s been some good work on this. But I have a similar AMD 6000 series system to them and I get almost twice the battery life on Linux.

Note, Windows has a “trick” of defaulting to “balanced” mode

That’s probably what most people want on a laptop on battery. Why would I want my CPU running full tilt for nothing? That’d largely why AMDs battery life on Linux is so bad.

“Better” isn’t what I use notepad for. I just want a place to put unformatted text.

Our printer at work is fancy and has a haswell based pentium and a whole 4 gigs of ram. It’s only a little over 10 years old hardware.

The printer also supports vnc for some reason. I haven’t figured out why.

And yet for games they are.
