Damn this looks amazing, definitely gonna add it to the list of locations to visit! Places like that were exactly what I was hoping to see 👀

Will definitely do! Wanted to get some better gear and do some hiking for a while, great that I now actually have a reason to do it hahah

Thank you!! Love that there are botanic gardens in Edinburgh, I'll definitely have to inlcude them in my plans now hahah Also great tip on packing good waterproof gear. Don't really have any rn and most likely would've never thought about it if y'all wouldn't have mentioned the rainy weather there hahah

This is awesome input, thank you! I'm very inexperienced at hiking, but Walk Highlands looks great to search for easier paths and still get to enjoy it. I'll definitely have to up on my hiking gear

I honestly did underestimate how spread out everything is. People in this thread have already mentioned so many interesting places, seems I'll have to plan a few more trips hahah Thank you for your suggestions as well! Love the idea of going to some of the islands by boat

What a stunning view! I'll definitely have to get some good hiking gear it seems Thank you!!

I haven't quite figured how to get around the place yet, but a bus tour like that honestly sounds great for someone like me who's really bad at driving hahah Thank you for the suggestions!!

Thank you so much! I think now Edinburgh would be a great starting point for my first visit there. But I totally get you when you say you'll need another trip just for the western side, I honestly underestimated how spread out all the cool places are hahah

This place looks incredible, just what I meant when I said I want to enjoy the landscapes there. Thank you!!

 

I'm thinking of taking a holiday in Scotland, but frankly, I have no idea what I'd be doing there (nor have I ever been on holiday somewhere else tbh, so I'd love to do some planning beforehand). I really want to enjoy the nature and landscapes there and I'm sure there must be a few not so tourist-y gems I could plan on visiting.

Previous research has shown that environmental factors affect memory and that information learned in one environment is retrieved better when the retrieval occurs in the same context.

This part made me think about how sometimes "retracing" my steps, going back to the other room, suddenly makes me remember what I wanted to do.

So, not sure how solid that study is, but it's certainly quite an interesting idea, thanks for sharing!

They all definitely would look nice together! Love how colorful those sets are

Thank you so much, gonna check those right away! : )

 

Ich hab leider des Glück, dass jedes mal wenn ich an Laden find, der dann bald zumacht und gar nix mehr hat :')

Hab das Gefühl es gibt kaum mehr solche Läden, deswegen wär ich auch über Empfehlungen von Onlineshops (AT oder zumindest Europa) sehr dankbar!

 

TLDR: CPU frequency on newer notebooks always at 1.6+GHz; fans are always on and loud; Is it a CPU problem?

Edit: Thanks for the replies so far! After looking for alternatives we've been eyeing the Razer Blade 14, Zephyrus G14 and Zephyrus M16. If anyone has some experience with one of those devices, please let us know. Thank you!

Hello everyone!

Me and an acquaintance have recently bought new notebooks, one with an i9 13900H and one with an i7 12700H. We were both pretty unhappy with how loud the fans were even when basically doing nothing (had one tab in Firefox and the taskmanager open - using Windows 11). We found out, that the idle frequency of the CPUs on both devices was constantly quite high (min. 1.6GHz, most of the time even more, even though hwinfo tests showed that they should go down to ~0.8GHz). Our old notebooks (i7 8750, i7 7700) and a newer Thinkpad (i5 12500) don't have this issue - the frequency drops to 0.8GHz and the fans turn off and stay silent. It's possible to browse, code and do everything else that does not create much load on the CPU without the fans spinning up at all.

On all devices we used various tweaks (turning turbo boost off etc.), but it shows no effect on newer models.

So now we're wondering if this is normal for newer notebooks (after 2018) or if there was something off with those notebooks in particular. Could AMD CPUs be better in that aspect?

We've both already returned those notebooks and can't do further testing (tho even with the manufacturer support we found no solution).

If anyone has some more experience with that topic and maybe some insight on what we should look out for on new notebooks, any info is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
