The new meta is Power Profiles Deamon: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/upower/power-profiles-daemon/-/blob/main/README.md
Otherwise you should see if power management is enabled for all your pcie and input devices (using powertop for example). If you run a nvme ssd, make sure it is allowed to use all power states (bit more involved topic).
Good luck :D

If you have an android phone, plug it into the macmini via usb, connect to wifi and enable usb tethering.

The sherp vehicle does just that.

X handles fractional scaling terrible as well lol. Has caused terrible tearing and framedrops for me on a Framework 13.

I know.

No, but laptops often do :)

There are, but are recommended against. Since they expose all the pins in a way it doesn’t happen normally in the connector. If a device is not 100% perfectly protected you might send 20V in a data line that’s expecting <1V, therefore frying something.

I doubt that a clean Windows 11 install causes issues. If anything it has better power management on 13th gen.

Framework Laptop 13 with 13th gen Intel.

Doesn’t sound normal to me. But those newer CPUs can scale the frequency extremely fast, so looking at the numbers in Task Manager might not be too meaningful.
Didn’t have any heating/fan issues on a 13th gen Framework Laptop 13 in either Windows 11 or Linux. But haven’t exactly looked at the clocks either. And don’t have access to those notebooks currently.

But the hardware vendors can mess up either thermal paste/cooling in gerneral, or force weird clock behavior via the bios/efi/acpi tables.

I don’t have evidence. That’s why I added the rumor in the title and mentioned it on the end of the post. It just never happend before in the youtube app like this. Could be pure coincidence. The only thing that concerns me is the language they use. It’s very suggestive they’ve done this on purpose. At least it sounds this way in German.

This happend on the app. Seems a bit odd, that I have to completely restart it when blocking a video. Whats next, logging in and out after every comment?

The old version of the ONN 4k streaming box has lineage support :D
Apart from binary blobs this should be as foss as it gets.

Not that you will read 300+comments, but cancel and go with starlink. They probably call you back and offer you an uncapped plan :D

Buy a framework. Only Linux issue is screen tearing on X11 with fractional scaling. Wayland is fine.

This also works perfectly on Steamdeck :D Works with every audio/bitrate I throw at it.

In German there are also derogatory uses for the forenames “Kevin” and “Otto” for example. Often used to depict not well educated persons that have made extremely stupid decisions/choices.

Geoguesser?

WefW

The frequency of updates is insane. Multiple updates a day at the moment lol. Still, I kinda miss Sync. I’m hyped for that.

Firefox consumes a ton of power for me, for some reason (Apple M1 Pro).
