"A House of Dynamite" von Kathryn Bigelow.
Ein Film, der zeigt: wenn es hart auf hart kommt hat niemand irgendeine brauchbare Antwort auf irgendwas. Frustrierend realistisch, grauenhaft plausibel. Sehr unangenehme zwei Stunden, macht absolut keinen Spaß. 10/10

IMHO: Zur Abwechslung mal ein richtig guter Film, der absolut sehenswert ist.
Wirklich erfirschend, leider nur schwer zu finden unter all dem "Popcorn-Krachbum-Kino" Zeugs. Das Ende ist super!

I do have an Intel 14900HX CPU running with (), so far, so good.

But it is only running on 2.2GHz, it is able to run at 5.8GHz but it does not use this option.

Is there anything I have to activate, to install, to do so that my CPU is using it's full potential?

paladin OP ,
@paladin@mastodon.online avatar

@pyte Not even once till now .... yesterday, it compiled shaders for over 30 minutes on CPU, all 32 cores on 100%, cpu was 2.2GHz (from btop).

Power settings (Tuxedo Control Center) was on "Max performance"

paladin OP ,
@paladin@mastodon.online avatar

@pyte Just checked PowerSetting options both in control center and also in kde options "energy mode".
In there is no option to turn on/off that affects the cpu clock settings.
In tuxedo's control center, options are on "max settings" but with no effect (still only to be able to slide from 0.8 - 2.2 GHz).

Any hints, maybe @tuxedocomputers

BIOS option is on "performance mode" (highest avail)

paladin OP ,
@paladin@mastodon.online avatar

@tuxedocomputers It is an Intel Core-i9-14900HX. Do you need anything more?
In tuxedo control center, i can see that my "max performance" profile has a blurred option in the profile overview that read "balanced", other profiles have "silent". Maybe this is a hint.

Thanks for helping....

@tuxedocomputers attached 2 screens of tcc, spec overview here: https://bestware.com/de/xmg-focus-17-m25.html

3rd image kde-sysinfo screen
BIOS setting is on "performance mode"
4th image is cpufreq-info output

Do you need anything more?
And thanks in advance for your help 🙂

@tuxedocomputers Yeah, tried it. bestware support told me, they are not in charge, cause they only sell the hardware and I should use windows, then it all works.
I still believe that there is a demand for this (not only on my side, there should be a lot of people having this problem) and that there is a way to implement a solution into the system that can be easily used by endusers (like me).

@Satiah You installed it via usb-stick? How was this going, just put it in and boot or did one need to adjust the BIOS for this? Any tips?

Okay, now we are talking: Is it possible to turn it off on a XMG? I do know, that this is not possible on a new acer predator 18, so this is a very important question for me.

@voidstar @Satiah @novacustom Thanks for sharing, i did take a look at your suggestions. Unfortunatly, they do only offer up to 16" size. I want to have 17" plus, so there novacustom will not be an option for me ;-)

@voidstar @Satiah @novacustom Normally, I would chose @tuxedocomputers , but they do not offer a 17" gaming laptop, so sadly, I have to elsewhere...

Outside the tech world, everyone talks about public figures like Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Sam Altman, and others. However, those in IT or with CS background know that people like Dennis Ritchie, Ken Thompson, Alan Turing, researchers and mathematician are the ones who truly built this industry. Sadly, they don't get enough credit or movies. People these days worship grifters and I think it is really sad.

Why does Jenkins have a bad reputation around here? Why do you hate it?

paladin ,
@paladin@mastodon.online avatar

@nixCraft Can't say. We do use more than anything else and Jenkins has the great advantage to run on your platform, with all the settings you need. If you update it regularly, it makes no problems.

IMHO: Tools like Jenkins have to solve a problem, not to look nice; I think, that is something most people mix together and get confused when things are not looking “nice”.

So, to be short: I'd prefer Jenkins over all the rest.

Info: using it in a test/build pipeline.

If you could describe yourself in one command, how would you do it?

a) sudo rm -rf /* - Destructive person.

b) grep -r "answer" / - Searching for answers and information about the universe.

c) cat /dev/random - Thinking about being creative with unexpected outputs!

d) man {command} - Always try to explain things when asked.

e) ls -l /dev/null - Nothing of value contributed to society.

f) fortune | cowsay | lolcat - Add random wisdom, but mostly nonsense, to the conversation.
