I refuse to believe that RAM prices up 400% in a quarter is some market fluctuation. This is a supply-chain heist.

Every bit of hate directed at AI companies is justified and possibly, milder than it should be. It ought to be 100x more.

Every extra dollar you spend on a simple DDR5 kit is a direct subsidy for a tech-bubble. So a bunch of crybabies sitting in silicon valley can push out a hallucinating machine, scam some more VCs, help create the biggest unemployment hysteria in modern history, give multi-millionaire CEOs an excuse to lay off hard-working employees?

Burn it all down.

    High CPU usage in Windows 11 usually means a process is using more CPU cycles than it should. It could be due to excessive background apps, pending Windows updates, corrupted system files, or high-resource processes like antivirus scans and indexers.

    Fixes for High CPU Usage (Windows 11)

    Restart Your PC: This is the quickest way to clear stuck processes and memory.

    Use Task Manager: Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc, find processes with high CPU usage, right-click them, and select "End task".

    Disable Startup Apps: In Task Manager, go to the "Startup apps" tab, right-click unnecessary apps, and select "Disable".

    Update Windows & Drivers: Go to Settings > Windows Update to ensure you have the latest performance patches.

    Check Power Settings: Search for "Choose a power plan" in the Control Panel, and select "Balanced" or "High Performance".

    Scan for Malware: Run a full scan with Windows Defender, as viruses can cause high CPU usage.

    Disable SysMain (Superfetch): Search for "Services," find "SysMain," right-click to stop it, which can reduce background resource usage.

    Disable High Precision Event Timer: In Device Manager, find "High precision event timer" under System Devices, right-click, and disable it

      Well, that was a bust. Replaced the CPU on the motherboard - CPU error light still goes on as soon as it powers up and it's not POSTing - can't even reach the bios.

      Apart from replacing the motherboard I can't think of anything else.

        One of the shoulder buttons on my old is failing… 🫤

        This is one reason why I like : failing input devices can be repaired/replaced separately from the computer and display. And even if I get an entirely new PC, my old games will still work, going back 45 years.

        Unless their code does something so outrageously unwise that Microsoft bans them, that is. Looking at you, .

              Found one video with a test comparison:

              https://youtu.be/SSet5kP83VA

              If you watch, feel free to skip to the results summary around the seven minute mark.

              Too Long Didn't Watch: the open air case performs about as well as an expensive case designed for great airflow.

              You should at least pay attention to onboard components that benefit from cooling and maybe have fans mounted to point at those area... but even if you don't, the thermal performance is good.

              The end of the video cover the drawbacks of not have a case enclosure. No physical protection and no dust filtering, so you would have to manually blow the dust and other collected material off the components regularly (once a month or so).

                  After almost 5 years of using company-provided MacBooks, I’ve decided to have my own. My last personal laptop was a Lenovo IdeaPad Flex5, and it is now my daughter’s laptop, so I was without a personal PC for years. It felt like homelessness.

                  Switching from space gray company-provided M2 Pro to my own silver M4 Pro.

                  Also, I really like to set up new laptops and phones from scratch.
