Ugh Windows 11 is installing.

What's with Windows 11 and laptop fans? I'm barely using the processor or Intel Arc GPU and the fans go haywire all the time.
Yeah this fan stuff is bonkers. Windows 11 seems to boost the CPU frequency a lot more often and for longer than Linux does, and the same applies to the integrated Arc GPU. Absolutely wild.
Used to be that Linux had the fan noise and heat when playing YouTube, but now it's Windows 11. This is bizarre.

Even at like 2% CPU it's rocking like 3Ghz. Why? That makes zero sense.

@Kancept People paid good money to see me suffer:
@thomholwerda I forgot about that! Newborns do that to a person...
-
@gunstick @thomholwerda that probably checks out, except that my company laptop has some extra crap and the fans never spin down, not even after two full days of work (8h+8h)
@portaloffreedom @thomholwerda
The thermal paste has dried up, so you have bad cooling. -

@thomholwerda There are two ways to make my notebook's fans scream: Do something that's actually compute intensive, or just boot the Windows VM and let it idle.
Since the early 2000s, my slogan has been "Windows has no place on laptops". The reasons back then were completely different than today (specifically, reconfiguring Ethernet in the pre-DHCP days was too much of a hassle), but the principle itself stands.

@portaloffreedom @thomholwerda ah, no, that happens only on old laptops.

@thomholwerda maybe telemetry or defender (malware scanner) running in the background?

Update on my adoring fans: got a big Windows update today and it seems to have fixed it? It could also possibly be related to this Dasharo Coreboot issue:

Update on sleep/wake issue: switching Dasharo Coreboot from S3 to S0ix fixed that problem. Sleep/wake no longer an issue.

Wait, here's actual proof. This is my life now. You paid for this. You sick nerds paid money to see me suffer.
You're on a list now, for sure.

There's no Mastodon/Fedi application for Windows and that sucks.
No, the one you want to mention to me now is garbage. I tried them all.

Sleeping seems to hurt the Windows 11. Won't wake. Not sure yet what's going on.
I promised I'd use new Outlook. I'm using new Outlook. It's miserable.
@thomholwerda Oh no, don’t use the new Outlook, it is funneling your mails to Microsoft servers! 🫣

@thomholwerda No dark mode? I can't handle all the brightness of the default white mode in Windows. I set a nice dark theme with purple accent colors, otherwise I end up like Cillian Murphy in Sunshine.

@kaidenshi I kind of alternate between the two throughout the year. All light mode right now, but it'll change in a few weeks or months.

@thomholwerda Gotcha, like some folks will set theirs to change with sunrise/sunset, you're doing basically the same thing
