I’m in IT and I was a computer Tech. I enjoy building gaming PCs and I know a good bit but this is really frustrating me. As I said, I’m currently driven by spite and hatred of Windows, especially 11.

I’ll play a bit and keep an eye on my SSD temp and I’ll run OCCT later. Thanks!

Mission Control? Do you mean Mission Center?

Sorry, wasn’t sure which SSD I had the Windows Partition on and needed to look up commands to check. Looks like I’m using the newer Sandisk WD Black SN850X for Linux.

Yes. I can’t find anything beyond my own post complaining of my specific issue. I’ve also added more hardware detail and images of a few of my graphs since my link seemed to be ignored.

Cooler, storage and OS?

Added more detail to the Hardware Spoiler. NOCTUA NH-D15S. Temps don’t seem to be an issue - as I mentioned in the post, usage/load goes down over time, eventually so much that so do my temps.

As mentioned in the post, OS was Bazzite, trying Tumbleweed now on a whim to see if it was a Bazzite issue. It’s not, still happans.

First, always check ProtonDB and see if other people have the same issues or tweaks to fix.

I’ve edited my post for clarity. I’ve checked for similar reports and posted my own experience on Proton DB. I described what I found in the beginning of my post - nothing specifying decreased performance over time, at least the last time I checked.

Second, get some system metrics, and check logs to see if anything obvious is showing.

Did… you look at the graphs? There are a lot of them. I’ll see if I can post screenshots here - I’ve not tried that before.

Edit: Are there some system logs I can check for more information?

During one ASL argument I witnessed, outside a Six Flags if I remember correctly, I saw something that stuck with me. One person literally turned their back from the other person. It never really struck me until then that it’s so hard to ignore someone yelling at you, but all you have to do with ASL is not look.

Then it will be that much harder to deny that are in that group, you disgusting brown black gay trans progressive educated compassionate person Democrat terrorist!

True. They might lose that sweet sweet AIPAC money.

Yeah, at this point it’s honestly a better deal for whoever endorses Mamdani than it is for Mamdani.

I don’t know how any reasonable person could have lived thorugh the Biden and Obama presidencies and not concluded that they’re fascists with different messaging.

HOLY SHIT. Now THAT is a fucking LOL.

Tom Homan

Oh, I’m well aware of where that jackass came from. I’m no fan of the Democrats’ immigration policies, drone policies, or many other policies but HOLY SHIT are you off your rocker.

That is like comparing Joe Biden’s uncomfortable shoulder touching to Trump’s literal raping of women and children. Yeah, both are bad, icky, not cool but fucking LOL trying to equate that shit. You must be fucking with us.

I don’t disagree but I think there is more too it. Many forces working in tandem to push people into marriage.

Most simply, marriage is glorified by society. It’s considered the ultimate declaration of love (within normal circumstances). Humans often feel the emotion so strongly and wish to express it. Society tells them this is how they should do it. It’s also viewed as an achievement or a measure of love by many societies. You aren’t committed (married)? Do you have cold feet? Do you not love them enough to marry them?

I may be viewed as one of those people for saying it, but there are a lot of pressures to conform to those around you. There is a certain life script - a series of things that those around you have done and expect you to do because… that’s just what you do. You find someone, get married, have kids, etc. If you don’t do these things or take too long to do these things you are defacto weird. You’ll be slowly ostracized, gossiped about, avoided, suspected. You won’t share the life experiences of those around it. It will be awkward. You won’t fit in unless you manage to find enough atypical people to surround yourself with.

Also, most governments create a society where it is beneficial to marry, to encourage stable families and population growth. Certain circumstances can negate the benefits or even counter them, as some commenters have brought up, but in most cases married couples are given boons from the government.

If you had proportional election you would have more parties, because the rest votes don’t dissappear.

The US election system is from the 1800s and outdated.

So, would the better option not be to fight for a better system or infiltrate one of the two parties and change it from within?

I think the biggest problem I have with the way the US has been working is that we just vote for the lesser evil and call it a day, thinking we’ve done our part. We’ve done all we can do. It makes things simple. It makes us feel good.

The real solution is a long, hard fight for change that will actually solve some of our problems. It involves convincing others, fierce public debate, and may result in violence. You will not be alone, but there will also be countless others who may not agree with your solution and will fight you every step of the way. Your opposition may be inspired by a genuine passion for a different solution. They may have an irrational fear of change. Some may simply benefit from the status quo and prefer to protect what they have than solve any problems for the rest of society. It’s so complicated and it’s just so much easier to offload that work to politicians.

Unfortunately, the most powerful among us know this and work as hard as possible to convince the politicians that they know better… or they just buy them out.

Debate the right? They don’t debate in good faith.

Three concerns:

• Heat - Will degrade faster and perform worse than it likely can because it will throttle itself
• Upgradability - Looks like only SSD and Memory are serviceable.
• Warranty - How is customer service? I have heard mixed reviews on most mini PC manufacturers.

Jesus fucking Christ this is getting old. Give people a good fucking reason to vote and they’ll vote. “That narcissist is more fascistic and more willing to support genocide than this corporate hack that only dabbles in appealing to fascists and at least performatively complains about small bit of the genocide… why the fuck didn’t you vote for them?”

I get it. I’m politically active and I know it’s a fucking game that needs to be played. I voted for Harris because I understand that one is significantly, objectively worse than the other. However, I can put myself in someone else’s shoes and empathize.

…wait to be presented with a pretty, pretty pony. No, strike that: a unicorn.

How about just a choice that doesn’t make me feel like we’re slipping into a corporate hellscape? Hell, I’m getting tired of the game myself. Every year I vote for the lesser evil party and every year it feels like both parties get more evil overall. D’s are neoliberal cowards eating billionaire dicks and willing to sustain the status quo and R’s are just fucking fascists. The D’s make sure the R’s get some of what they want to keep the D voters motivated to vote D and kneecap any D’s that might rock the boat.

I get that the fascists are for real and not a threat to be ignored. Hence, I do my part. That just isn’t all that motivating anymore, especially when the lesser evil bets on winning votes from moderates by… appeasing fascists and begging for donations from billionaires? I guess they think it’s safer than rocking the boat?

Work to actually motivate people. Elevate candidates that care about something other than their own power and influence, or at least listen to people who genuinely care.

I know it doesn’t make you feel superior and better than everyone else but if you keep at it you’ll actually make a difference.

The same thing that the billionaires have been doing. Paying fealty and demonstrating loyalty in the hopes of avoiding attack or maybe even getting rewarded.

LoL. Thanks for the entertainment.

I’m sure that when a medical form lists that as a condition, they 100% include sleeping in its definition. I’ll be sure to tell that to the AI adjudicator that cancels my policy for lying about my medical history when I actually start costing my insurance company money.
