I had a nearly identical issue with an iphone, and it was the battery. The apple store employee was sure that the battery was fine because the "diagnostic" didn't show any battery problems.
But after insisting for half an hour that I wouldn't leave with anything except a battery replacement, they gave in and swapped the battery. Worked perfectly afterwards.
Anecdotal evidence: I've seen so many posts of WoW players swearing to log off for 1 day in protest of recent events. One whole day. Meanwhile posts of players cancelling their subscriptions are few and far between.
Players won’t cancel until they’ve tried and like an alternative. Final Fantasy 14 has had a massive surge of wow players so it’s not like players aren’t looking for alternatives. If they like other games I’d expect many cancellation in the coming months.
I spend more time at /r/wow than I probably should. Lots of people cancelling. Lots of people uninstalling if they've already unsubbed. Or at least claiming to. It's the internet so who knows if they're telling the truth. But there's lots of noise in that direction.
Hope the people who sometimes do population estimates in WoW will report soon. Would love to know if the actual data matches the noise.
The article does not claim that it is unpaid. If they were working unpaid hours that would be a serious legal issue and state and federal regulators would be getting involved.
Amazon has a quota for firings/quitters(referred to as URA). Managers must terminate a certain number of their employees per year. The allegation is that some people are hired for the sake of fulfilling the quota for managers who want to keep all of their current reports. In other words they are hired for the sole purpose of being fired later so that managers can have a better firings metric.
Absolutely this. I have a 16'' mbp and it constantly throttles, even when I manually set the fans to full blast and use a cooling pad. There's no way to sustain the 45 watt tdp for more than a few seconds.
Anecdotally, my outdated i5 quad core is much snappier than the mbp i7 8 core because it can go all out at 69 watts/max boost for hours and not throttle for a second.
Disable turbo boost. Throttling is not directly linked to any temperature sensor, and turbo boost almost instantly causes throttling, which then takes some time to return to normal because of a back-off algorithm.
I’ve used the software that lets you modify all the CPU flags and nothing helps. Killing turbo boost sucks, having a frequency in the 3.0Ghz+ instead of 4.4Ghz+ is brutal when you are single thread bound.
This is exactly it, the thermal ceiling leaves almost no room to use the full 45 watt TDP. The fact that this problem isn’t a huge PR nightmare shows just how “pro” the typical buyer’s workload is.
