the fan is just to cool the chassis!!!
>cool the chassis
it's not a 12" macbook the cpu has its own heatsink
I'm confused, netbooks have started being fanless depending on the model, usually lowspec ones (not talking about arm chromebooks). Aren't Macbook Airs just fancy netbooks for sluts?
no
kinda weird from apple since one of the older macbook models was pasively cooled through the actual chassis
dont see why they couldnt have expanded that to their other models
they lost their good engineers
"lost""
more like driven away
because marketers run the company now
Computers used in military vehicles are all passively cooled through their boxes. Apple could market a passively cooled laptop as "designed with military class engineering philosophy"
But I'm not sure their target audience would like that
I'd like it tho, like those fully solid state toughbooks, or my thinkpad with a very non aggressive fan profile, rarely turns on
something is randomly raping my disk
how can I find out what it is?
my entire computer freezes when it spikes like that
click on the open resource monitor button at the bottom
and go to the disk tab
It's "System" with PID 4
that shouldn't be
constantly doing 155 MB/s
and sometimes spiking
Is it windows downloading a big update?
Doing a backup or system restore point of some kind?
that's what I thought, too, so now I'm manually running windows update
though I'm within my "active hours" so it shouldn't be doing that, no?
it should also specify which file
it does not specify, it's just 3 columns. Process, Pid and how much disk io
Now I did Win Update and I also unchecked "Allow apps to run in the background"
it's my first time windows so I might just have colossally fucked something up
fold open the disk activity tab
lol I totally didn't see that
it doesn't seem to be spiking anymore, I'm keeping it open on the second screen just in case though
i've heard that microsoft forces to update to 1903 version of windows
probably that
I installed this like 4 hours ago so I already have 1903
and it's a genuine installation, like, I unironically bought it so I doubt it's some cracked-windows malware because that's what others have been telling
