Is there a mod that forces IPB 2.0.4 to show a member name formatted as the group name he is part of?
I mean: if I am a Neowin subscriber, my member name will appear bold and in orange coloured text, both in my posts and in the list of members currently connected to Neowin forum.
By default IPB applies formatted text just to the list at the bottom of the board index page.
I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.
It depends: heat soak is a thing.
Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress.
Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
Why should simply opening the Action Center ... require any significant amount of CPU cycles? Too many are ignoring the elephant in the room: today's CPUs may have similar clock frequencies to CPUs from a decade ago (~4 to 5 GHz), but they run with far higher performance per clock, even on the smallest E-cores.
The Action Center is a static, minor desktop element. It ought to open instantly on any CPU made in the past 2.5 decades at even low clocks.
Opening a program? Boost away.
Unzipping a file? Boost to your heart's content.
Right-clicking the notification area? This should be an ultra-efficient, low-impact event that opens instantly.
Compare today's UI elements to Windows 7 UI elements. Today's UI elements hardly do anything more substantial or important or critical, yet now require modern-day processors to jump half a GHz to reduce their latency.
This is not an option lmao: it is part of the KB5094126 update, pushed to all users. There is no GUI to configure it.
