<rennj> The song is also featured in the "I Dream of Jesus" episode of Family Guy, in which Peter Griffin overhears the song at a diner and it turns out to be his favorite childhood song.

<Anarchos> Is there a mean to control the fan of a laptop on haiku ?
<rennj> acpi failure if the fan is running full tilt
<Anarchos> rennj no, it runs normally, but this fan is a chinese spare part, and it is noisy. same behaviour on win7 so no driver failure
<rennj> well the bios/efi/uefi should throttle stop the cpu from melting..doesnt mean its running optimal
<Anarchos> rennj any way do investigate what's happening , in haiku ?
<rennj> when i got this laptop it use to idle at 50C which was terrible..took 3 years for proper support... idles at 25C now
Begasus_32 has quit [Quit: Vision[]: Gone to the dogs!]
<rennj> i would only know doing it in linux..no clue in haiku
<Anarchos> rennj i know nothing about acpi
<Begasus> heading down here, g'night peeps
Begasus has quit [Quit: Leaving]
<rennj> combination of acpi and the intel speedstep / amd powernow ...cpu frequency scaling foobar
<rennj> besides apu have graphics cards in them, that also feature more power when plugged in, vs running off battery...
<Anarchos> rennj you do'nt understand : it is only the fan which is poorly built and is mechanical noisy. I just want to let it run slower to do less noise
<rennj> fans running cause of temp
<rennj> i cant even here mine unless it goes up to 60C or so
<rennj> only moving part in this laptop..someday fanless would be nice
<rennj> also depends on watts...this is 15watt amd part, i had 45watt amd part...like 45watt lightbuld in a box
<rennj> things get hot
<rennj> noise fan replace it..with something else noctua all the kids seem to love
<Anarchos> rennj some times it get stuck, the laptop goes hot, but runs perfectly
* Anarchos uses a toshiba satellite C50

<rennj> toshiba acer asus gateway hp ibm..i try to spread the wealth around
<rennj> canada border guards still have my asus core2duo laptop..stole my personal property and never returned it....
<rennj> core2duo with nvidia9300 graphics..was nice laptop at the time
<Anarchos> that is why i keep the hard drive with me, never inside laptop when i travel
<rennj> it was encrypted why they stole it
<rennj> heh
<rennj> 2007 before the iphone even
<rennj> cause im sure if i had my 2007 android phone they would have stole that also
<rennj> all my laptops could be stolen..you dont even get an operating system
<rennj> no lesson is dont do a border crossing with any tech gear you dont mind them scanning...period
<rennj> you know lawyers doctors and tech NDA

<missMyN900> rennj: the "15W" stuff is misleading. It is only really 15W at base clock. How did they lower the TDP in such a short period of time? By lowering the base clock a lot (while still having much higher turbo clocks).
Gaspare has quit [Quit: Gaspare]
Gaspare has joined #haiku
<rennj> no its not, its pretty straight forware ohm's law
<rennj> my wall wort list the power it puts out
<rennj> my olpc xo-1 was 7watts
<rennj> national semiconductor/amd geode part
DKnoto has joined #haiku
<rennj> this usb,lcd screen. etc...but the 15watt cpu is in spec..the olpc xo-1 was little more on point
<rennj> they actually measured the whole laptop / oled display and such
<missMyN900> rennj: how did AMD go from 35 W (Richland mobile) to 19 W (Kaveri mobile)?
<missMyN900> check the base clocks and turbo clocks, then you will know the answer
<missMyN900> same thing with Intel, do you honestly believe they magically managed to go from 35 W to 15 W in 1 gen?
<rennj> cpu fequency scaling
<rennj> they moved the voltage regulator also into the cpu
<rennj> like i said my 2015 laptop use to run 50C idle didnt matter winblows/linux..they all ran it for crap
<rennj> took 3 years..
<rennj> finally late 4.x kernel/5.x kernel had proper amd cpu code so now my laptop idles at 25C
<missMyN900> [1:57:11 pm] <rennj> cpu fequency scaling LOL that is exactly what I am talking about
<rennj> besides the cpu frequency scaling code for the power governors, the fglrx vs amdgpu happened
<missMyN900> but what that means is that the TDPs are fake
<rennj> i can show you pictures..
<missMyN900> because TDPs only apply at base clocks
<missMyN900> and those are exceeded all the time
<rennj> Mhz 1300,1600,2100 now i have veribable scaling inbetween those
<missMyN900> [1:57:47 pm] <rennj> like i said my 2015 laptop use to run 50C idle didnt matter winblows/linux..they all ran it for crap -> the lesson here is: don't buy new hardware
<missMyN900> buy used or refurbished
<rennj> so it will be 1232 mhz no 1200mhz
<rennj> https://imgur.com/WQfBNoB see over on the right conky monitor the cpu freq1,2,3,4
<rennj> https://imgur.com/WQfBNoB older kernel see the cpu freq1,2,3,4
<rennj> same hardware better drivers
<rennj> and this is 4core/4thread laptop cpu
<rennj> same for fglrx vs amdgpu... better code
<rennj> which is apu part of cpu
<rennj> watch -n 0 "cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu?/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq"
<rennj> watch the cpu in realtime
Atomozero has quit [Quit: Vision[]: i've been blurred!]

<rennj> this cpu has a thermal limit of like 95C or something which the bios would shutdown the system before ever hitting that.
ablyss has joined #haiku
xet7 has joined #haiku
<rennj> hp limits it to like 70C range..
<rennj> its in the bios firmware one of the many acpi tables DSDT or something..i want to say
<rennj> intel acpi compiler have at it
<rennj> you can tweak it if you want
<rennj> bios hacking
<rennj> why not..heh many sites to read about it
<rennj> Basically a DSDT table is the code run on ACPI (Power Management) events.
<rennj> iasl compiler
<rennj> yeah that sucker
Gaspare has quit [Quit: Gaspare]
<rennj> i did it on my gateway 11" amd system..cause i wanted features cpu supported but vender removed
<rennj> oh and linux and probably freebsd also allow replacing the vendor acpi tables on boot...which is nice
AlienSoldier has joined #haiku
<missMyN900> rennj: the best solution, however, remains carefully selecting your hardware
<missMyN900> I don't know why you would want to support vendors that produce shoddy and buggy products in the first place
<rennj> bestbuy isnt going to allow me to boot linux on their display models..ive tried
<missMyN900> then, don't go to Best Buy and do your research online before buying
<rennj> dont tell me what to do
<missMyN900> surely, someone with as much experience as you have, would have no trouble doing that?
<rennj> ive run linux on all my laptops...only os that ran the hardware and gave me a level of control
<missMyN900> and I am saying it is doesn't have to be that way. At the end of day you are allowed to do whatever you want, but it doesn't make sense to me.
<missMyN900> I mean when you are buying furniture, do you just run to the store without measuring first what actually fits in your home?
<rennj> i dont buy furniture
<missMyN900> it is an example
<rennj> i dont have a home either..im a renter
<rennj> you can wait and read reviews or be an early adopter
<missMyN900> what exactly is the point of being an "early adopter"
<rennj> like i said i tried 3 laptops
<missMyN900> I mean when you are buying the latest and greatest, sure
<rennj> i bought a acer it had secure boot you could not disable returned it
<missMyN900> but when you are buying a $400 laptop like you said before
<rennj> i bought a dell it had amd a8 apu
<rennj> returned it
<rennj> i selled on the a10 hp laptop
<missMyN900> then there is little point in buying something that was just released and about which you know absolutely nothing
<rennj> so i tried 3 laptop with linux..and selled on the hp model
<missMyN900> what if there is some horrible design flaw or manufacturing defect?
<rennj> which has been poweron now for 6years
<rennj> i then took it apart and added 16GB of ram and an ssd drive
<rennj> voiding the stupid warranty perhaps
<missMyN900> which was very painful as you mentioned before
<missMyN900> and which could have been avoided...
<rennj> only painful because the motherboard is below the keyboard
<rennj> its still been my best laptop yet...
<rennj> i use to replace hardware every 2 years..now its been 6
<rennj> my 8core ryzen laptop should be even better
<rennj> when i choose to buy it
<missMyN900> maybe you can buy one of those Clevos. Those should be easier to maintain/upgrade if you don't want to buy a business laptop
<missMyN900> and consumer HP/Dell laptops are worst laptops you can buy quality wise
<missMyN900> that has been proven by studies
<rennj> what could have been avoided is if office depot or bestbuy allow me to boot linux on their display models..then they would not get returns
<rennj> their stupid policy i cant change
<missMyN900> and like I said, there are more options besides Best Buy...
<rennj> my hp pavillion laptop just as good as my asus laptop
<missMyN900> a sample of 1 does not prove much...
<rennj> and it was $400 bucks
<rennj> what the hell are you being argumentative for
<rennj> you do you
<rennj> ill do me
<rennj> you have shit amd laptop great 1600x900 shit cpu performance..not my problem
<rennj> should have done more testing or reading..not my problem
<missMyN900> ok but you started ranting about all the things you had to do to get your laptops to meet your needs
<rennj> i have great laptop
<missMyN900> my "shit" laptop is perfect for my needs
<missMyN900> I don't need a Ryzen 7 4800U for what I use that laptop for
<missMyN900> I already have a Ryzen desktop if I need CPU power
<missMyN900> it may be "weak" but it has 4 USB ports, an ethernet port, full size DisplayPort
<missMyN900> proper build quality, RAM can be upgraded easily, fan can be cleaned easily
<missMyN900> nice display, nice sound chip
<missMyN900> WiFi card can easily be upgraded
<missMyN900> I installed a 500 GB 860 Evo that is fast enough and has very low power consumption/heat production
<missMyN900> CPU power is far from everything
<missMyN900> that is the mistake a lot of noobs make
<missMyN900> IO is more important in 80-90% of cases
<phschafft> ;)
<missMyN900> as well as quality/reliability of course
<phschafft> can't really remember ever running out of CPU power.
<missMyN900> of course, you should know this as you yourself are still running a Bulldozer-era AMD laptop CPU
<missMyN900> so you are hardly in a position to mock other people's CPU powerr ;)
HaikuUser has joined #haiku

<phschafft> the only thing I normally run out of is mass storage space and for several projects IO speed.
<rennj> mock hah. i was telling them its either acpi which haiku lacks support for
<missMyN900> you were mocking my laptop for its "shit cpu performance"
<rennj> your the one babbleing about TDP, buy used, or whatever wait
<rennj> cause you babble about nothing
<missMyN900> ehm
<rennj> argue to argue
<missMyN900> anyway, I am not angry about you mocking my laptop
<missMyN900> just find it strange that someone who also owns a Bulldozer-derived laptop CPU would choose to mock another Bulldozer-derived laptop CPU
<missMyN900> phschafft: the moment I realized how little CPU performance matters these days is when I got a cheap Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet as a gift
<rennj> yet you argued how possibly i could run 4 vm's the other day. you are not even consistent
<missMyN900> Firefox for Android ran incredibly well on it despite the fact that it had a 1.3 GHz Mediatek Cortex A53 quad core
<missMyN900> rennj: no, I have never denied that the CPU of laptop is relatively speaking incredibly weak
<rennj> so now you know how much power you have...
<rennj> congrats
<missMyN900> I just said, it is *does not* matter to me
<missMyN900> for what I am using it for
<missMyN900> [2:52:27 pm] <missMyN900> I don't need a Ryzen 7 4800U for what I use that laptop for
<rennj> yeah supercomputer phone in your pocket...
<missMyN900> and I am not running 4 OSes on it at the same time...
<rennj> once again like the a6 you bought, the 4800u is not something i would buy
<missMyN900> I tested the A6 with an Ubuntu 22.04 live USB
<missMyN900> literally the most bloated Linux distro possible
<missMyN900> and still performance was acceptable when web browsing with Firefox or Chromium
<missMyN900> even with heavy/ridiculously bloated websites
<missMyN900> that is enough for me
<phschafft> missMyN900: ;). let's face it. every computer from the last 10 years can do every standard task. which is also why I don't buy new stuff. used computers work fine. used monitors work fine. just need to have a little bit of an eye on what you busy from whom. bascailly avoid cheap stuff from private persons. ;)
<missMyN900> and I will be running uBlock Origin and a lightweight distro/DE anyway, so daily use performance will actually be considerably better
<missMyN900> phschafft: yes, I agree 100%
<missMyN900> my 1080p monitor is 8 years old already and still going strong
<missMyN900> I would avoid Samsung and LG though as I have read they use cheap Chinese capacitors in their monitors
<missMyN900> (I have an Iiyama)
<waddlesplash> tbh 4K monitors are worth it
<waddlesplash> I upgraded a few years back to one, huge difference
<phschafft> and for my very non-standard job the only thing I dislike is that there is literally not a single model out there with a good soundcard (but as there is none, no need to look it up) plus no fast ethernet interfaces.
<Saijin_Naib> What do you need from a soundcard? Physical interface or realtime capability or...?
<missMyN900> if it is just for listening you can always get a USB DAC
<phschafft> Saijin_Naib: low noise, low jitter, stable sample rate.
<missMyN900> just check out audiosciencereview so you don't get conned by audiophile marketing nonsense
<Saijin_Naib> Ah, yeah, nothing that onboard is known for, unfortunately. Though they've massively improved over the years
<phschafft> and I started my computer life with the upper end so I'm a bit spoiled ;)
<waddlesplash> personally I haven't noticed noise from most HDA chipsets
<waddlesplash> MP3 distortion is far more audible than soundcard distortions :-p
<phschafft> Saijin_Naib: my old Compaq had one onboard that was much better than any HDA chip I have ever seen.
<Saijin_Naib> Oh, haha. That must be brutal! I've always been on integrated save an ancient ISA soundcard in my IBM Aptiva, so I grew used to hearing my CPU and disk IO via the soundcard haha
<phschafft> waddlesplash: actually the HDA chips are on the lower end based on my messurements.
<waddlesplash> make sure you aren't using them in 16bit 44100 mode or something
<waddlesplash> HDA is just an interface, there's tons of variants of HDA implementations
<phschafft> jup. one worse than the other. ;)
<waddlesplash> well, I haven't noticed issues
<phschafft> as you say they have a wide range of parameters in real world applications.
<waddlesplash> I've just got studio quality headphones hooked up to the standard 1/8" out and it sounds great.
<phschafft> I may have gotten the bad ones.
<waddlesplash> or your configurations aren't great
<phschafft> but generally speaking they were always the lower end.
<waddlesplash> on Windows you may not get 24bit mode automatically
<phschafft> with only the '3D sound' USB card (that is all that is written on it. it comes in several different colours and cases from several sources) being worse.
<waddlesplash> also make sure "audio enhancements" are disabled, including vendor ones
<waddlesplash> Linux of course doesn't have most of this so it's better out of the box
<waddlesplash> but it stil might be in some strange mode
<phschafft> waddlesplash: have you ever messured the sampling rate of the chips?
<phschafft> or your specific implementation.
<waddlesplash> it's configurable?
<phschafft> na, I mean what it really does for a given configuration.
<waddlesplash> but no, I never got hardware to see if the output sampling rate was the one I actually configured
<phschafft> ok.
<Saijin_Naib> Do you work in audio production, or do you use some esoteric analog sampling equipment or other equipment with analog control/signaling?
<Saijin_Naib> No need to get too detailed, I
<Saijin_Naib> am just super curious as to what problem space those parameters would matter for
<phschafft> Saijin_Naib: I work in the broadcasting sector but also doing more low level stuff.
<phschafft> plus having personal interests (I mean there is a reason you get into such a sector :)
<phschafft> e.g. the sampling rate is something I actually need to discuss with clients often. for example it matters if you want to run in-store music in your next door supermarket.
<jessicah> eh, I just use digital out and feed it into a quality amp
<jessicah> not much can go wrong on the PC side then
<phschafft> depending on the interface.
<jessicah> :)
<phschafft> e.g. if you use toslink the source provides the clock, so the sampling rate problem is still exactly the same.
<jessicah> but for non-listening purposes, sure, probably want something dedicated or a USB DAC, but most I see are just headphone amps
<jessicah> USB DACs that is
<jessicah> ah yeah, I use toslink into my denon avr
<phschafft> also: if you're happy with what you got I'm (most of the time) completly fine with it. and the cases it matters for me are special. yet relevant.
<phschafft> but thank you for bringing this up. I should talk about clock de-syncronisation in my second next presentation (on real time streaming in mobile networks).
<missMyN900> phschafft: I think you would audiosciencereview very interesting
<missMyN900> *find
<phschafft> hm?
<rennj> consume product
<rennj> haha..cause nature, am/fm radio was not high fidelity
<rennj> audiophiles grifting
<rennj> so is are records better than cdrom?
<rennj> more to audio then just the sounds, its also the circumstances you are in when you heard them
<rennj> but hey these headphones rock
<Saijin_Naib> phschafft: ahhh, makes sense then for sure. Indeed, interests do drag you along to new places
<Saijin_Naib> Usually expensive ones 😭
<rennj> my martin logan electrostatic speakers rock
<rennj> bah!!!!
<Saijin_Naib> My interests are leading me to needing 128GB+ RAM which.. Oof
<rennj> covid messed up the bitspace, should be like 1TB by 2024
missMyN900 has quit [Quit: https://quassel-irc.org - Chat comfortably. Anywhere.]
<rennj> we were using 1 bit per year for while 2024 i should have had 1TB of ram in laptops
vdamewood_ is now known as vdamewood
<rennj> stuck at 48, i think intel wanted to go up to 52 or something
<phschafft> Saijin_Naib: hm?
<rennj> guess arm went 52 already
<rennj> must fall back to 48
<rennj> i had 128GB of ram in the 90's ...
<rennj> my hp v2600 was on top500 supercomputer list..128cpu/128GB ram 4 cabinets
<rennj> and that was 90's tech
<rennj> i should have 1TB in 2024..but things have slid...
<rennj> on my laptop
<rennj> covid messed things up...
<rennj> i believe both hp and dell have business laptop with 128GB ram
<rennj> for while now ..least over 2 years...prior to covid they offered that..better be ECC
ablyss has quit [Quit: Leaving]
<rennj> didnt haiku already do this..4 level or was it 5
<AlienSoldier> can't beleive media player skip ahead seeking is still broken. It has been years now.
