Energy efficiency doesn't necessarily comes from being better on full load. Smartphonechips provide tons of power saving mechanisms, true but also are quite limited on how they operate.

I assume that generic code on a x86 desktop cpu should be more efficient by watt/work in comparison on a mobile chip. I'm also not sure how a smartphone is rated for 100% cpu load 24/7

My main concern is, that i can't define an upper limit. My billing alert is nice and im aware of it, but it doesn't help you if someone takes over your account, mines bitcoins on expensive machines and a day later you read your email.
If it is only workload isolation, why not?

Reads very very illusional.

What is it what people actually want? Change the world or become rich?

I have seen enough ideas or things people persue not because they really love that idea or product but because they wanna be 'entrepreneur'.

Just wierd to read.

There is for sure a sweetspot. I don't think 1280x800 is it.

When you have to scroll around on your screen to read text properly or sourcecode etc. then the screen is just not big enough.

With the 13,X" Inch display from a macbook pro i don't have the feeling of constraint. Its quite a nice size.

With disassembling it like he does, he also lost every insurance.

If something happens and they figure out that he had some custom rig with open panels laying around he has to pay.

At least i don't. The only thing i do notice is, that the first initial 5-10 minutes in the morning are more slow. But i don't know if thats how it should be when you wake up :D
If i do not smoke, im very very tired starting at thursday sometimes wednesday. When i smoke, i'm sometimes tired but less tired.

"decided" versus do give it a different priority then you do.

They are much further away from this story as we are. I can ask plenty of people whats up with assange and they will just not know anything much.

There might be no article from him today but i have read plenty of articles about him the last few weeks. Including the criticisim of how he gets treated.

So what is the real issue? I would say none. Would i say there is some deliberate action going on? Also no.

I have thought about Benzos but to be honest, all the stories of addiction and old people becoming hazi/stupid (temporarily) frightens me.

I try to sleep through weed (indica). I'm not to happy about it but that works more or less.
