Back in the day I had a laptop with an Nvidia 7800GTX Mobile graphics card that I had over clocked to match the specs of a desktop 7800GTX. It ran at 117 Celsius under load and never had an issue. The system would shut down if I pushed the clocks and got to 120C, but 117 was fine. That system ran great for many years, and I'm guessing still works today.
These chips are designed to run at high temps. I never understood people trying to keep their GPUs at 45C with insane cooling when you could comfortably run at 90.
To be clear, not every chip is designed to handle temps above 70C, but TSMC manufactured ones generally do.
The other complication is the turbo/boost modes, which often are temperature based and throttle back after around 70C or so. Not sure to what extent that applies to steam deck, but Linus Tech Tips didn't see a performance benefit of having a beefier cooler in the deck, just less temps and noise.
I really hope the fediverse is different. At the very least, that it can evolve in a way that we don't have these jarring "migrations". People can just move to a new platform that federates with the old one, and slowly/gradually move over to the better thing.
Either there is a reason or there isn't. If there's a valid reason to move to a different instance ethen people will. If not, then what's the harm in using lemmy.world? More importantly, people won't move off of reddit if their initial experience with Lemmy is negative or confusing.
Lemmy.world is by far the best experience for a new user. You can convince people to move to a new instance once they're already on lemmy.world. Starting off in a random instance is much more confusing.
I got the XM4s refurbed for $99. Best 99 bucks I ever spent. I can definitely justify paying more from a practical standpoint, but the risk of losing them is too damn high. I lost one of my Pixel Buds A series after like 3 weeks. Pretty disappointing, but at like $60 I can handle it. I can't imagine losing a $360 earbud.
I like the Buds Live a lot but they make my ears hurt after about 2 hours. My XM4s are more comfortable. I wore them on a transatlantic flight with minimal breaks and no real issues.
It takes time to get used to new ear buds. Wear them for 4+ hours a day for a couple days in a row, then give your ears a break for 2-3 days so they can heal. Then try the buds again. They probably won't be as uncomfortable going forward.
It's awful. I would never go there to discover an app. I download most apps these days by searching for them from my launcher and then clicking the link to search the playstore for that keyword.
Joining lemmy.world is a very straightforward replacement for reddit. "Join Lemmy.World" is a much more effective message than "do some research about various instances, register with one that federates with other instances you find interesting, and subscribe to specific communities by searching for them".
