@ajsadauskas @fuck_cars, Air pollution as a cause of global warming is even more outrageous, if we know some facts that increase the desire to find out, how long some politicians and lobbyists can last hanging by their reproductive glands.

Some historical facts:

@Zeoic @Cethin, it’s just fair, I don’t ask either when I gut all this shit out.

@ijeff, the one I use most is this one right in the browser, it save locally by default in Html (also PDF and Text) and you can copy a webpage in it without loosing the UI and links. Works also great in mobile and as PWA.

@kylemsguy @pizzahoe @catfish @frostwhitewolf @CorruptBuddha @legion02,It sure is a bug if the system wakes up without user intervention, this shouldn’t happen.
But I think that the cause is that some service remains active, this would explain that the system wakes up but also the heating.
Therefore, while MS does not fix this, it would be advisable to shut down the system to avoid this. This, if you use an SSD is not such a big difference to boot it.

@kylemsguy @pizzahoe @mechoman444 @catfish @frostwhitewolf @CorruptBuddha @legion02, the only cause may be that some process is still running. In Windows quite possible with so many telemetry and threads of some stupid services, which causes so many new words that you invent to disable them on a new PC.

@kylemsguy @pizzahoe @mechoman444 @catfish @frostwhitewolf @CorruptBuddha @legion02, maybe, it is clear that the standby power is very low, depending on the active modules, and that it does not need much cooling.
Although in a closed space with the ventilation slits covered, it is possible that heat can accumulate. Normally for the laptop to wake up from standby requires a clear intervention, such as pressing a key or opening the screen, not very likely when in a case

@legion02, Yes, this confuses many that turning it off with the default power button enters a Quick Start modus, well this, in Stanby. Normally nothing happens, apart from continuing to drain battery life and naturally it can get hot if put in a bag.
This currently with an SSD does not make much sense, since there is not much difference between Cold Start and Quick Start, same as I always desactivate Hibernation and Index service, 2 of the worst Memory hogs. Index also not needed with an SSD.

@legion02, and it usually does on Windows and Linux as well, and it shouldn’t be a warm-up reason. But if it is put in a bag that prevents ventilation, even a weak voltage can heat up the Laptop. The same if it is used for example, which I see sometimes, to use it on top of a cushion or on the knees, because this covers the ventilation slits, the same also if they are covered by dust.
In any case, something is wrong if the Laptop gets hot, except in heavy use, eg in gaming or similar.

@legion02, I dont use sleep, I shut down the system, more if I put it in a bag to carry it to an other site. It’s logical that the system still in Standby also need ventilation.
With modern systems with an SSD a Cold start is only a few seconds slower than to start from Sleep mode, because of this the last mode isnt really necessary, apart a cold start from power off avoid a lot of crap in memory and reset the counter of using time to zero, save battery and is healthier for the system.

@legion02; ???, not even using Windows my laptop (a cheap one that cost me €350) heats up above 50º when I play a 3D FPS game or when I render to an Image. If it gets too hot it can depend on too many things, that your Sys Specs are too low, that the ventilation does not work well because it is dirty, that the thermal paste needs to be renewed, there are too many applications that are loaded at boot that take up too much RAM…
In any case, it is not normal and requires you to check it.

@legion02 @CorruptBuddha, don’t blame laptops, blame Windows. The difference between PC/laptops and Mac is compatibility, to use any OS you want, Mac is only compatible with Mac, apart from costing twice as much as a PC/Laptop with equivalent system performance and features.

@Evkob @Gargari, this is not so clear, Mozilla has made a pact with the devil some years ago and is sponsored by Google, it even employs several Google devs who develop FF, the risk of depending on outside investors. Chromium is certainly from Google, but it is, just like Gecko, FOSS and therefore every browser developer is free to gut it, throwing out any Google API, which they are doing in Vivaldi (leaving some to the user’s choice in settings), no homecalls to Google.

@stebo02 @worfamerryman, not only for privacy, its also to bypass country restrictions, eg, try to watch a movie or serie in the German publicTV in their official Homepage, from other country, even of the EC. You can’t without VPN.

@Black_Gulaman @soyagi, at the moment, but M$ isn’t much better anyway, both are userdata hogs, like also Amazon and Meta, because of permissive or even inexistent privacy laws in the USA.

@MapleCoffee @gsa32, apart from copyright claims from xvideo.com

@fuser, apart of Vivaldi social, the instance made by the Vivaldi browser for it’s users, I’m also since long time ago in Lemmy.ml (with another Nick), also conected to Mastodon.

@fuser, with Mastodon you can even logging in Pixelfed. I love the #fediverse.

@fuser, the fediverse has nothing to do with monolithic social networks, controlled by large multinationals. It doesn’t matter if you use an instance of Lemmy, Friendica, Diaspora, or Mastodon. etc., are really of the people and independent of large corporations and linkable with each other. Here in Mastodon I see posts of all these in my Timeline and I suppose you too, like the one where I am.
