I just disabled PBO on two motherboards because I didn't want a space heater or damage another cpu. One older cpu went flakey with "cpu errors" after two years and would only run at reduced load.
In the olden days you never ran hardware above 80 c. A linux utility for monitoring power is ok, but I'm done frying silicon for a few more mips.

They've also started banning people from being abusive to Claude.
Now, I can't get the image of Claude wearing a top hat and tails singing "putting on the ritz". For the love of God don't humiliate him.

...getting ads for an 80s cover band made up of two teenagers...
I saw that too, youtube must be running a dog and pony show for their ad buyers. See how wholesome and pure our platform is, cue the perfect family safe videos.
Truth is I get Party Drug ad videos for a morphone/viagra pill so I can party my dick clean off. Come to think of it its back to school time, to shop, pre holidays, must consume time again.

Being chided for poor performance is part of having a job!
Not publicly in front of a crowd. I'm gonna go there: Like in a neck and wrist stock on the public square, where we can fling poo at them?

I don't see any benefit or synergy.
Maybe not synergy but they are "removing barriers", mostly from your wallet to their bank accounts.

it now take 3 searches to get what you used to get in 1.
I think you meant to say, you have to pull up three times as many ads than before. Just a coincidence maybe, sort of.

The next time an ad appears, consider what it represents. Not merely a product being sold, but a bargain being honored.
The "bargain" went out the upper story window with sick puppies on Tv and Cancer kids who don't get the donations from abusive ads. If the Ad people want responsible ad consumption then they have to clean up the toilet bowl of filthy ads out there. Advertiser want all the money (private gains) with a free for all of crappy ads galore (public losses).

It reminds me of a friend's toddler who would smash a toy they no longer wanted rather than give it to someone else.
I have also seen this and the parents are usually ok with it. Its their planet and their choice, other people are an illusion to them. Gasping larger concepts like the planet are foreign to them. The math and logic are also foreign to them. Everybody hates foreingers? Just ask a MAGA who says "we're hurting the wrong people?"
They shouldn't be trying to hurt anyone at all.
