Top-spec computers will always shit the bed when they aren't taken care of properly (bloatware, blocked airflow, etc)

- asdff 5mo agoEven for the arm series macs the max cpus run way hotter and spin fans sooner than base model in general tasks. Just how those chips are designed. They aren't designed to throttle to keep temps down, they are designed to give you all the horsepower knowing you don't care about noise and heat and care about performance.

- rationalist 5mo agoMy workplace installs a ton of background software on their PCs. God help you, if it's your first time logging into any PC there and it has to load everything in your account/profile for the first time. They don't last more than a couple of years before they start becoming painfully slow, even after being reimaged. Whereas my 10+ year old laptops and desktops are as fast as the day I bought or assembled them.

- rationalist 5mo agoIf the computer has been overworked in the past, it permanently slows it down. Heat can permanently change the electrical resistance of the metal conductors in the computer's components.
