Comment Re:Laptop Cooling Places 5090 Ferrarri Engine in Y (Score 1) 30

Why? And why would you limit it to laptops? Literally all CPUs and GPUs whether they are laptop or high end desktop PCs have this problem. It's why the watercooling crowd get a nice performance boost in benchmarks even without changing any settings on their PC. The thermal envelope is just a design feature in modern PC components. You want to know actual performance, go look up benchmarks for your particular device. If you're not happy with something return it. There's no reason to throw yet more meaningless confusing data at consumers who largely already don't know what they are looking at.

Desktops for gamers etc are usually correctly specced, even if not, then adding a $100 3 fan radiator and cooling is easy. With a laptop this is almost impossible without creating somethign that is no longer a laptop. My desktop can fuilly utilise the GPU without the fans ever needing to go much beyond 50% regardless of how long I use it. many of these gaming laptops the GPU is limited within a few mins of heavy usage unless you have it sitting on some huge laptop cooler thus defeating the purpose of it being a laptop.

the reality is for what they are often trying to build you could actually build a custom system that just does what you need for less, or buy one that is more bare bones with the expectation of building the rest with standard devs not SAP consultants running at 2 to 3 times the going dev rate. For instance I look at the most recent one I watched collapse. $150m budget, $200m over budget and still a minimum of 2 years away from completion. This was mostly just payroll and HR records.

I don't understand how they get anyone to sign up for SAP anymore, even in just the last 5 years I have seen all of the large SAP projects I have visibility of self implode due to massive budget overruns and under delivery of the product. It seems every SAP project on top of the many millions in licensing will cost just as much if not more in worthless overpriced SAP consultants that struggle with even basic IT concepts.

firstly people don't generally become immune, they become significantly less susceptible. If the number of people getting the virus significantly increases then your "immunity" becomes less and less effective and your chance of getting it increase regardless of vaccinations. Herd immunity is a key part of the effectiveness of vaccines as by the majority being less susceptible small outbreaks become manageable, as herd immunity wanes it places everyone at additional risk.
