A local supermarket chain got a fine because they had "fake cheese" sold in the cheese section. It wasn't labeled as cheese, but it was under a large CHEESE banner. I think it was leftovers from cheese production just mixed up.

I'm ok with not throwing away stuff, but it tasted like sin, even for cheap industrial cheese standard.

If power consumption is lower, that means can have a more compact cooling. There's a lot of people who would pay the premium for longer lasting and lighter laptops, myself included.

In the Netherlands I saw some building were, instead of having a street number-flat number, the building had all the numbers listed on them. So, if the building had 100 houses, the street number for the building would be 150-249, and the next street number would be 250.

It's possible they had a similar system.

Ok, I've never heard about that. I might run some form of stress test just to see better.

Portable software worked in the past, but I don't want IT calling me... A third time.

What you are saying in the first paragraph seems more about cooling capacity rather than the computer taking more power than the power supply can handle. I might have misunderstood, but that's what I don't see happening with the charging brick. It does happen with the usb-c hub that's integrated on the monitor. It barely even keeps the battery with normal work, while my previous x13 (integrated graphics) had no issues regardless of task.

I don't know the power in idle, I can't install anything, not sure if I can check. If you know a way let me know and I'll try.

My Lenovo P1 with an i7 and a Nvidia 4900 and a 230W adapter is wondering what you're talking about.

Not a myth. Better batteries might have better safety measures, but none is inmune. It might not have happened to you but I've seen it happen in several high end/expensive brands already.

In my search, women in Gaza deserved human rights. For men in got the same "check in Google for up to date news"

I see, the problem is that you lack reading comprehension.

Sorry I overestimated you.

Read my comment again, or at least once.

Let's not mention the extended update service that people can buy for three years and that will make the oldest incompatible CPU 10 years old at that point...

What a weird way to say that the OS they bought will stop being supported on their 7 year old CPU unless they pay a subscription.

On a bit more serious way, it's a bit of a slap in the face that, you could buy W10, in theory as a single payment, with no announced EOL, and now they say that even though they are going to keep working on security updates, you have to pay extra for it.

I would have respected more of there was no extended period. This way they are encouraged to have higher W11 requirements, so that they can earn more with OEM licenses and subscriptions. And given the nature of the OS and telemetry, they are extremely informed about the install base, so it is a very calculated decision.
