CPU thermal throttling - any idea on how to test (or even fix) this?

Check for tons of pet hair stuck in the fans or the vent paths. Seriously.

Ahh so it was the Lyft operators phone recording.

This is a lesson to go through your app permissions to see what has access to your mic or camera and turn off those permissions which you don’t want it to have.

I can argue that VR is niche only because high res lightweight displays aren’t available at scale yet.

One place I can see needed expansion beyond 8k is displays in VR goggles. Think about trying to emulate a virtual monitor experience of 2k (1080p) using 8k displays at a distance. As in, think about sitting at a desk in VR and looking at a “monitor” in VR. The actual physical displays producing the image are 8k, but must take your entire field of view. So only a subset of that 8k can be used to reproduce the “virtual 2k monitor” in VR. Here’s an image for reference:

Now move your face close enough to your lemmy viewer that that picture is taking up your entire field of view. Now look how big that 2k block is. Now imagine you want that level of detail at normal “monitor distance” in VR. That’s going to take more than an 8k physical display in your VR goggles.

I’m wondering if this is less about technological expansion and more about decoupling from western controlled (and fee charging) standards bodies of HDMI and VESA (Displayport).
