that makes sense.

not familiar with the specific app you’re using. am I reading that right, that you’re throttling on power, current and temp?

if so, there’s not much you can do. but if it’s just temp throttling, you can get better fans/cooling.

if you’re already satisfied with fans/cooling, then yes, you’re pretty much using it to it’s max.

to be clear: throttling on power and current means you’re getting as much as you can out of the hardware you have (without over clocking or similar). although, make sure your CPU governor is ‘performance’.

throttling on temperature alone means you’re not getting the most out of you’re hardware that is technically possible, it means you’re hitting the thermal TDP of the system. for some systems (laptops, generally), there’s not much you can do there. but for others, you can tinker with cooling.

it’s often the people saying “don’t listen to all the drama” that are making drama.

chill out. the guy has relevant concerns, and they matter deeply to him. …and they matter deeply to us, the users of Linux. Rust in the kernel is a good step forward, but processes need to be in place not just for code, but for people who will be dealing with a new language in their formerly-c-only environment.

win hearts and minds, don’t just kick the nest and blame the hornets if they sting you. recognize needs, even of those who are stubborn, and address them.
