I laughed at OP misspelling “fan talk” in the throwaway account’s name. Then I flagged this, because it’s the third time this past week that someone has tried to rabble-rouse about fan noise with a link to poor data and/or extensive discussion threads with terrible quality data and no summary.
A meta-analysis of this discussion would have been super interesting. A link to Apple’s equivalent of a Reddit post is not, especially from a throwaway account.
I feel bad for the people with fan noise but this is not the way to handle it. Please do better. Collect data, measure power draw, and most of all document how you performed your tests so that you can start asking others to perform those exact tests, to your specifications. More science, less complaining, please.
- antalk 7y agoLOL, no. I’ve been a HN reader for years, and this MBP fan issue is driving me nuts for a while now, I wanted it to get some attention. Then I realized I don’t remember my HN password, that’s why the new account. My name is Antal. K is the initial of my last name. Glad we cleared that up. But the last part of your message is noted, thank you. Next time I will do so.
- floatingatoll 7y agoApologies re: name assumption. There’s always a lot of throwaway accounts with blank profiles and they’re impossible to tell from genuine content with any certainty. I’ll not comment about account names in the future, it was a bad call.
