Yep, usually. May require a bit of work to open and take out. The heatsink is usually screwed to a plate not much different to a desktop gpu with a block on one side and a metal clip on the other. Gpu can need repasting after 7+ years as well

It could, but I am uncertain. My 3 top guesses are temperature, voltage then failing hardware. Temp is usually the cheapest to fix, but most time consuming. Batteries tend to be more expensive and a bit less involved depending on the laptop. Dell has had disassembly manuals on their website in the past. Haven’t looked recently though.

Hardware failing is just, you are screwed-ish. If you have software that works to underclock it, that is at least a workaround.

Edit: CPU is soldered to board just to be clear. Heatsink can be removed, repasted.

You say it is clean, but have you re-pasted the cpu? How are the thermals?

Also, It is on battery or wall power? Is it using the original battery? Thought there is the voltage isn’t stable.

Considering Nintendo has an eShop, I doubt it is tariffs. Hopefully they don’t try to tax digital goods next as it appears they have everything else.

I agree. There are times when I speak to someone that has an unfamiliar accent that my brain has trouble processing. They can be speaking fluent English , but I still struggle.

Wouldn’t it better to just stop acknowledging Tesla and stop pretending that it is a premium brand?

I don’t think it should have a significant effect on performance. On the other hand gamescope is broken on my system right now. There are probably plus and minuses of both.

Great. now how long till we can game without nesting the game inside gamescope?

Quantum computing. The nuclear fusion of computers. I wonder how long they will be 10 years away.

I am using a 4080 on Plasma 6 wayland. It works pretty well. DLSS works. I haven’t tried frame generation, but I think support was added recently. Occasionally I have a wake problem, but I believe that is bios related. I am encountering a gamescope blackscreen freezing issue.

Only stuttering I am experiencing is a Steam overlay bug and Bluetooth interference sometimes.

Compositor choice and how recent of release will effect your experience as they are all independent implementations and still improving.

I wouldn’t expect that a 20 series card to be a specifically buggier experience over the 40 and 30 series though.

I think this is what I am thinking of. Kind of a predecessor of modern machine learning.

I remember that as well.

Edit; moved comment to correct reply.

This isn’t exactly new. I heard a few years ago about a situation where the ai had these wires on the chip that should not do anything as they didn’t go anywhere , but if they removed it the chip stopped working correctly.

Yeah. Go into the system settings app, Autofill and Passwords. Select only the “AUTOFILL FROM” for Firefox.

Did you set Firefox as the default iPhone password manager?

Did you happen to enable Bluetooth LE-Audio mode for the Headphones in an app? If so you need to turn it off.

For a full 32GB at the max sustained speed(275MB/s), 32ish hours to transfer a full amount, 36 if you assume 250MB/s the whole run. Probably optimistic. CPU overhead could slow that down in a rebuild. That said in a RAID5 of 5 disks, that is a transfer speed of about 1GB/s if you assume not getting close to the max transfer rate. For a small business or home NAS that would be plenty unless you are running greater than 10GiBit ethernet.

Are you in IL? I just saw my neighbor doing that, but he has dementia. I think there are to many people who want a manicured lawn. Personally I don’t see why so many people like that.

I have seen this as well with a couple games(FarCry 4/5). Also Arch/Plasma 6 with Nvidia 4080. I don’t know if it is driver, kwin or dxvk related or something else though.

I haven’t figured out how to resolve it either.

You probably just had a program(s) use a lot of ram and that pushed some processes to swap. When the system needs it, it will be moved back. I’d +1 on setting up zram. Can be setup easily on most distros.
