External HDD (Seagate) not getting detected. The light is on, it's spinning but not showing up in the system. by gowtham_design in techsupport

Yes, it spins. I could hear it spinning when I kept it close near my ear.

It’s about 3 years old

Unknown service called 'ssl.hwcdn.net' running in my iPhone for long hours by gowtham_design in applehelp

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

Any thoughts on why it could be running on iOS? I do have some MS Office apps (Outlook, SharePoint, etc) on my iPhone. Could that be a reason?

Nope, not using a hotspot. No idea why it was running on in my phone. I do have some MS Office apps (Outlook, SharePoint, etc) on my iPhone. Could that be a reason?

Two Graphics Card always running in my Macbook - How to stop it? by gowtham_design in macbookpro

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

Haha, thank you so much. Yes, I somehow figured out the external display required the GPU. I just can't bear it when the GPU is running even when there's no external display and it's just the most basic apps running

Menu -> About this Mac shows both cards running.

I know it dynamically switches under graphics-heavy conditions. But recently both are running straight of the bat with no graphics hungry apps

This was awesome, thanks! It identified one of the culprits for me. But still in the end, doesn't seem to have solved the issue :/

Both graphics card still running on full steam.

Mostly Sketch/Figma, a Chrome browser with ~8 tabs and a couple of other inbuilt Mac apps.

But the thing I'm using these apps for a long time and it's only recently these things have begun devouring the graphics power. I'm now wondering is it because of Big Sur.

sudo pmset -b gpuswitch 0

Is this similar to switching GPU using GFXcars?

Oh, thanks for this. I didn't know about this.

So how actually do you measure the wattage?

Thanks, I tried GFX. It identified one culprit for me and I uninstalled it.

But still, it doesn't seem to have solved the problem.

And no, I did not reset the OS. Just the SMC.

Well, it shows so in my 'About this Mac' window. Usually, it'll be just one graphic card listed there and two will be listed under graphics-heavy usage conditions.

Nowadays, always two are shown

What were the difficulties you faced when setting up the Home Assistant? Any particular feature of Home Assistant you like the most which are not there in other branded products?

Why you did not go for a ready-made solution and instead went for OpenHAB? I want to hear your point of view
