Another thing that can really help with this is a hot water bottle. You can put it on your lap, or under your feet and it really helps you keep warm if you are sitting for long periods of time. Helps if you put a small blanket over your lap as well. Usually lasts for a couple of hours before you need to refresh the water in the bottle.

For the HN crowd: point your computer exhaust fan at your fingers or feet.

Unfortunately the M1 runs a lot cooler than older models :(. Old Intel models would almost burn your fingers!

Especially if you've got a bulldozer!

I was playing cyberpunk this winter with a 4090 at 4k RT on and all settings maxed. My desktop took the living room from around 50F to over 72F. My A/C turned on! It was genuinely insane

That rig probably can generate around 1kW of heat, just like average space heater. You have a very small living room if that alone can heat it up from 50F to 72F.

I just received as a gift a hand-made harness for attaching a hot water bottle to one's chest or back. It is rather effective.

This just came across my desk this morning, it discusses the benefits of hot water bottles as an alternative means of keeping warm.
