Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.
The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:
This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.
We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.
As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!
Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.
Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).
Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.
Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.
When will they add the option to sort processes by "reason your fans are blowing"
Sort by cpu usage then?
perhaps more like "power used in the last 10ish seconds" so that you can catch those sneaky processes that seem to go to 0% as soon as you open the task manager
Power usage trend maybe?
When I go 5 hours without installing a windows update for the drivers and the laptop suddenly leaves sleep mode in my backpack for no reason, draining the fully-charged battery in minutes and nearly catching fire
My laptop's cpu normally idles at 40C but whenever I do something moderately complex it immediately shoots up to 60X and the cooling fan goes brrrr. I've tried replacing the thermal paste and even the heat pipe system but neither helped. :(
40C is a decently warm idle temperature, is your cooling system powerful enough?
I don't know but there's not much I can do about cooling in a laptop. The laptop is 8 years old and I don't use it enough for this issue to be that big of a deal.
my PSU fan is clicking and im just llike "this is fine"
If its a modern intel laptop, its likely the PL2 clocks. The PL2 level is basically a time interval where the cpus run at a higher boost clock than sustained turbo, and ia defined to run at that for a short time period (e.g about 40 seconds) before clocking to the standard boost clocks (PL1). Its why laptops heat up fast and ramp very quickly. It makes processors seem faster than they are. (Similar to like running speed in a 40 yard/meter dash vs a marathon running speed)
The laptop has a 4th gen cpu, I think an i3 so it's probably not classified as modern lol.
I see. I also have an old laptop (4th gen i7). I personally use throttlestop to limit its turbo clock speeds just for sake of noise.
I decided to try undervolting my laptop's cpu and found the intel-undervolt tool. It seems that reducing cpu voltage by 25mV has solved the issue.
You sure it isn't crypto mining malware that will hide when task manager is open? Like the one described here.
70% of the it's either Antimalware Service Executable or a dozen microsoft edge tabs open in the background for some reason
See this is why I always leave the task manager open
For some reason i have a firefox instance that starts up on windows start and hogs a lot of CPU. Ive narrowed it down to ublock origin but i have never read that it does that so im just assuming its a bug and delete the process until the next reboot lol.
meanwhile my fans still screaming after the task manager says everything is below 20% (it was a goddamned windows update again)
