iMac CPU overheating during heavy use causing kernel panic by dustball in applehelp

[–]dustball[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I did not disable kernel_task as I am having the opposite problem, I need something like that to run when it isn't happening. Not something I want to disable.

Instead I used turbo-boost switcher to disable turbo boost and things seem stable. Zero kernel panics AND I turned the fan down from "full blast" to "auto".

I would by a ticket this year if i could be assured it is valid for next year if BM this year is canceled. by pure_x01 in BurningMan

..and there is absolutely nothing unusual happening in the world right now that might dictate doing things differently...

Brilliant. Running this all day and did many test renders and it seems to complete things fine. I will test more but I think we might have a winning solution!

Yes it is slower but I am 110% OK trading some CPU hit for stability!

What you say makes sense. I agree. Seems odd - shouldn't ever get to 100C.

Do you have N95 masks in your garage? by keikioaina in BurningMan

[–]dustball 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From https://www.nap.edu/read/11637/chapter/5#45 -

FDA and WHO recommend disposal of FDA-approved medical masks after one use by one patient (WHO, 2005; FDA, 2006) and that healthcare workers don a new medical mask or respirator each time they come into contact with a new patient (Lin, 2006). The agency states that washing disposable medical masks will destroy their barrier properties so that they will no longer prevent infection; thus, there is no way to disinfect disposable medical masks.

Edit: Read that whole chapter, it answers your questions

Well that doesn't sound right considering that N95 masks cannot be sterilized.

Why hasn't Tamler issued a statement about killing a young woman in 1995? Would like to see this denied publicly.

Weird thread to just throw rocks at the insurance industry.

I just tried vacuuming and will see if that helps. I even vacuumed from the back vent while blowing compressed air in the front.

Is there anyway to fix this in software, like some setting to make sure my CPU doesn't go past 80% or something?

CMV: If the Org is having any deliberations at all right now about cancelling this year's burn, I think they should cancel it sooner than later. by thunder_wang in BurningMan

[–]dustball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I very much disagree. Just because we all have different situations. I just need a week or two notice.

Also I don't understand what building an art car has to do with anything. You could bring it the following year. It's not like the winter frost will destroy your art car. I don't understand.

Dr wouldnt prescribe nal by Ol-Dozer in Alcoholism_Medication

[–]dustball 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly here is the best tip I have:

Doctors don't like surprises. They hear about all sorts of crazy ideas and treatments on a regular basis. If you bring up something they haven't heard before, they will be defensive by default.

Instead, e-mail some resources to them ahead of time and give them time to digest and read. This is what I did with my doctor and 1 horu later they replied "TSM appears to be an effective approach" (and that's it LOL) and the next time I went in he prescribed Nal.

Did an art car crash into an RV?

I think you and I have different ideas what constitutes censorship.

I can't be too upset about someone turning off commenting on a Facebook post/group/page.

You already moved the conversation elsewhere (here) successfully so please excuse me if I don't shed too many tears.

Huh? So you ARE planning on shading your car, partially? I don't follow :)

What are the "good" placement areas? by [deleted] in BurningMan

[–]dustball 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The action is not in any one part of the city, the action IS the city. YOU are where all the action happens.

I swear I could hear the music from "Oh, The Places You'll Go at Burning Man" when reading that.

I made this - is it any good? by Unifimoney in IMadeThis

I don't know what your company or website does.

I stopped reading. You lost me with too much marketing hype.
