Irony being, one of the biggest benefits for me of the M1 power consumption is that it can run quiet and smooth even with all the corporate spyware on there. It can even run MS teams along side that and docker too which also permanently consumers 100% of one core, while still staying completely silent.
It's crazy to think you have these opposing teams of engineers, the Apple ones working away to optimise like crazy to reduce power consumption and the compliance software teams thinking up new ways to profligately use more.
- smoldesu 4y agoSure, but running Docker and Teams will put an M1's CPU at 70c when a similar x86 Linux box would run it at ~40c. Maybe Apple's fan curves are to blame here, but I much prefer a Linux laptop for local dev.
- voltagex_ 4y agoWhy is Docker's VM not idling?
- sudosysgen 4y agoBecause macOS. It's not a container, it's a full on VM.
- raarts 4y agoI run Docker on M1. Definitely idling. It must be one of the containers. Try running Docker stats to find out which.
- zmmmmm 4y agounfortunately it does it even if I kill all the containers. It's a well known issue and they have been circling around with attempted fixes, regressions etc for a long time [1] [1] https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/6166 https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/6166
