Does Netflix drive everyone's CPU up to ~4,000 - 5,000 rpms every time? Is there anything to do about this? My fan goes crazy and it's really annoying. It's generally in Chrome but it does the same across any browser. I don't have many other programs open and only 2 or 3 other tabs open.

adm posted:gfxCardStatus? it will keep you restricted to integrated graphics. Awesome, thanks for all the info everyone. This is working well so far. Another question: With my MBP, my wifi sometimes takes upwards of 5 minutes to connect to my home or work networks when I bring it out of sleep. This is whether I just leave it alone or actually go up to the icon in the corner and either select the network name from the dropdown list or manually go into "Join Other Network," click "Show Network," and select it from there. It doesn't even have the "scanning" animation, it just doesn't do anything at all no matter how many times I select it. Eventually it will connect, but that's really annoying if I have to clock in at work and I'm just sitting there for 5 minutes waiting for my computer to get its act together.

I posted this in the hardware thread a couple of days ago but as I kept editing it I realized it was more of a software issue: I have a Macbook Pro with Lion, connected to a BenQ external monitor via Mini Display > HDMI. It hasn't given me any trouble since I bought it a year ago (and upgraded to Lion after it came out), but over the past week it's started to do something really bizarre only on the external monitor: all windows, when I drag them over from my Macbook's screen, are completely black. Some windows will only be black for a second and then flicker to their normal state. Some windows won't change from black no matter what I try to do (including browser pages and videos), and are completely normal when I move them back to my Macbook's screen. There aren't any minimize/close/expand buttons, just an entirely black window. I don't recall doing any software updates at the time, nor do I remember installing anything that would have changed system settings. None of the connections are loose and none of the cords are cheap brands. My desktop background appears normally on the external monitor, too. I'd be happy just to reset my display preferences and be done with it, but I have no idea how or if that's even the problem. Here's a random screenshot of Chrome on my external:  Also strangely enough, as an experiment I tried mirroring the displays and it made it so that windows were black on both my Macbook screen and my external.

Anyone's CPU going a little nuts with VLC 2? I have a video open in it and it's eating up 26% of my CPU, while the same video is registering as ~10% with 1.1.5. What an I do, here?

Using an external monitor, is there any way I can mirror the taskbar and dock without having to mirror the entire screen?

Okay, so I just stupidly installed the new version of Silverlight without checking which browsers its compatible with, and apparently Chrome isn't one of them. But for the life of me I can't seem to find the previous version of Silverlight anywhere, the 4.x. Oldapps.com seems to only have the windows versions. I found this but it says it doesn't work with the newest Chrome either. e: I tried that last link anyway and it looks like it worked. Oh well, nevermind. vvv Yeah, was just assuming that they were listing the newest version on their site, didn't bother to check which version I had. Seems bizarre that the newest version doesn't work on Chrome anyway. Unless it just got screwy on my computer. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 19:18 on Mar 23, 2012 |
