Well, here goes nothing, sometimes to move forward you have to leave some things behind. From now on I will no longer be making chip annotations and will only be contributing to media in limited capacity. Minecraft testing TBD, but for now on hold too. Thank you all! 😉

@compguru910 I'm using a TUF A14 (AI 7 350 + 5060) since I mainly needed an ultrabook that can occasionally game. I'm amazed what Asus managed (noise from reviews seems similar to the 7i Pro, albeit less power to deal with) but ultimately there is only so much you can do in a 1.45kg laptop.

@GPUsAreMagic I will say though, I recently switched to a Legion 7i Pro with a 5080 and 275hx, and as far as gaming laptops go, that one is by far the best for acoustics.

Apparently the key to making my laptop silent while gaming was... INCREASING the dynamic power share amount between CPU and GPU. Really curious how it figures out where to allocate that dynamic power budget, the CPU was using 35W, now its being forced to 25W - same FPS. 1/2

So clearly it isn't a simple "CPU isn't at power limit, take the leftover budget" case, since the CPU WAS using its full PL. If I allow 15W it only takes 10W again, so it also knows starving the CPU to 20W is too low. 2/2

@yoColinZ @IanCutress SOCAMM also in general has a more suitable size/outline for servers to stack more of them in a smaller footprint, contrary to the silly PMIC notch on LPCAMM.

@yoColinZ @IanCutress It is very similar, but more server focused. AFAIK: LPCAMM had some issues with reaching high speeds (one of the reasons why the Framework StrixHalo machines are soldered instead of LPCAMM), so NVIDIA more or less made their own SOCAMM which is now being standardized as SOCAMM2.

Just held a 256 GB SOCAMM2 LP5X-7500 module. Tasty. There'll be 64 of them in an 8-way Vera blade.

@kokolordas I'm glad this doesn't really affect me much given Discord's competence at fixing bugs. I only really enable the dGPU when I know I will be using it for games or something heavy, otherwise it stays fully powered off to save a few extra watts compared to idle standby.

@GPUsAreMagic every time i buy a new laptop and trying to maximize battery life by doing the same thing as you, i get reminded what a PoS software discord is :)

Btw Discord closed the issue as "fixed" 2 weeks after reporting it, no option to follow up, the bug is still NOT fixed in the latest canary build as of today, 2 months after the issue was closed. And no response in support DMs when I asked about it 🙂

This is quite amusing, I've had my TUF A14 in GPU Eco mode for so long the NVIDIA driver got completely removed during an earlier Windows update. I guess Eco mode works a bit too well at times.

I love waiting for my work laptop to charge for 10+ minutes on Monday before it can even turn on because the firmware is so buggy it goes from fully charged to completely flat over just a weekend in sleep. Oh yea it also hangs on POST if I have the dock plugged in... 🙃

Can't escape M.2 drives even in games. Also don't leave them out in the open like this, not good for longevity!

@IanCutress At least you know not to expect internet and prep for it unlike me on the train a few weeks ago spending half the train ride just turning data and hotspot off and on repeatedly to make it pick up again 😂

Just got an email that on my 15 hour flight on BA later today there's going to be no WiFi. Are you freaking kidding me? What is this bullshit in 2026.

@KBobTech @IanCutress @Fujitsu_Global With a 31Wh battery? Idk about that, on top of it being a health hazard just like any other PWM or otherwise flickering display.

@IanCutress @Fujitsu_Global OLED please on any device over $1200

@IanCutress Was very much running button nav on android, immediately got used to swipe gestures on iOS. Work android phone is now set to gestures since having both confuses me to no end. Android gesture nav is just extremely poorly implemented and bad compared to iOS IMO.

1000%. I need immediate, dedicated functionality. I also want the return of physical left and right click buttons on laptops.

@MillerTimeDog @IanCutress Had a bit of spare time and was in the mood to do some (very crude and basic) storage testing. About what I expected from dailying these drives, minus the 9100 PRO apparently hating VM-amplified mixed I/O, but the startup time represents daily use quite well IMO.

@GPUsAreMagic @IanCutress Gotcha. So no point chasing one down. Funny with my DDR5 rigs doesn't seem to matter anyways because just posting is 30 seconds now.

Just rock Optane. Proper Optane. If you can. There are dozens of us!

Hello Fiber, finally 😆 Despite all the really annoying issues and initial mistakes in the deployment, @TMobile_CZE support people were all amazing and handled it REALLY well Maybe a little untrained when it comes to specialty things like bridge + public IP, but overall amazing

@MillerTimeDog @IanCutress That makes two of us... I guess in that sense I'm lucky modded Minecraft is still a single-threaded insanity making it measurably beneficial to buy the latest CPU every generation LOL (Zen 5 was a nice 40%+ uplift over Zen 4 there) 😂

@GPUsAreMagic @IanCutress Yeah I figured I just have an itch to tinker and PC hardware hasnt had many reasons to have fun for seemingly 4+ years. Intel going backwards, AMD ghosted on its 9950X3D2... Apparently my 13900 is gonna still be bleeding edge in 2030 the way things are going. (Optane too)

@MillerTimeDog @IanCutress Ah of course, I remembered the T710 review but forgot they removed the P5800X from that review and didn't check before posting. From the 9100 PRO review, by proxy the T710 is also quite similar to the Optane in this benchmark. servethehome.com/samsung-9100-p…

@MillerTimeDog @IanCutress As tested by ServeTheHome in SPECworkstation Storage here servethehome.com/crucial-t710-2… Optane isn't necessarily the universal king of the hill anymore. Ofc still wins in raw 1T RND4K, no doubt, but "real world" it is a bit more complex.
