    There’s software to check how many mAh most laptop batteres are able to take up and deliver, compared to what they shipped with. Modern ones even have how many complete 0-100 charge cycluses the battery have gone through. You can check if you think there’s something dodgy about the battery. I’ve actually seen laptops factory shipped with smaller batteries than ordered.

    But knowing linux and seeing you had an issue with the power profiles I’d think it’s software related hah. Is there a discrete GPU onboard it’s using instead of the power-saving one perhpas?. Also, did you turn off that awful “dynamic background” on youtube that continually taxes the CPU?

    No offense to your post, thanks for sharing…

    But I’m just drained of nostalgia and enthusiasm. I grew up with the X-Files. I’ve seen every single episode of the original run at least three times. I have them all collected, including the movies and two damn spin-off series.

    But after a decade of everything being remakes, revivals, ressurections, returns… It’s been a rowdy riot of rectal ripping retronostalgic ravaging. I couldn’t care less that there’s talks about more X-Files. If they actually manage to squeeze more out of this dried up sponge I’ll just ignore it.

    To the modern media producers all I can say is go choke on your 90’s nostalgia.
