Sagebrush posted:microsoft why This has reminded me that work enforces the "max performance" power plan on our workstations, so the minimum processor state is 100% I've emailed IT about it like "maybe this is unnecessary in 2022?", but meanwhile I've been seeing a lot of these fuckin menus when I go to change the plan back to something sane for the 17th time that day

I have some noise-cancelling headphones for when I'm WFH in my tiny 'office' I wonder how much power we're wasting as a business per year because of some stupid bodge that's probably been in place since the pentium 4 era

I bet users were complaining that "my PC feels slow" and looking at the power profile and claiming that their CPU was at 0%. (Of course their PC probably was slow as poo poo, but it was due to bloatware and the fans caked with dust.)

which in turn reduced me to using a linux to try to play music. you might find this hard to believe, but I couldn’t do that either because the linux audio didn’t work
