Where are you going / steering towards?

FYI: There's also AnLinux, Linux Deploy, Termux, tainer, UserLAnd, ...
Some of them aren't maintained anymore. And they don't necessarily have hardware-acceleration. But don't all require root and system patches.
I'd pick the Raspberry Pi if you can do the install. Furthermore maybe your internet router can do it. I think it's possible with some Fritzbox models or ones that run OpenWRT. Or you pay the price for one of those dedicated adapters. I don't know if the drivers for those are more or less haste than using a Raspberry Pi.
Sure. I buy tickets to their concerts, have bought CDs, movies, buy their game in the next Steam sale or on Humblebundle, rarely Patreon or support indie things on Ko-fi or whatever. I buy a novel if I enjoyed the first chapter(s) and want it on paper. Or go to the library. I just can't afford all the music and Spotify isn't paying the artists properly either. And I don't want a DVD collection, so for TV series they don't get money from me. Except for what the one streaming service I pay for forwards to them.
I've used laptops for more than a decade. And sure, in the early times thermal management wasn't that elborate. But I really haven't seen any laptop in many, many years that doesn't do it with perfect accuracy. And usually it's done in hardware so there isn't really any way for it to fail. And I played games and compiled software for hours with all CPU cores at 100% and fans blasting. At least with my current laptop and the two Thinkpads before. The first one had really good fans and never went to the limit. The others hit it with an accuracy of like 2 or 3 degrees. No software necessary. I'm pretty sure with the technology of the last 10 years, throttling doesn't ever fail unless you deliberately mess with it.
But now that I'm thinking of the fans... Maybe if the fan is clogged or has mechanically failed, there is a way... A decent Intel or AMD CPU will still throttle. But without a fan and airflow inside the laptop, other components might get too hot. But I'm thinking more of some capacitors or the harddisk which can't defend itself. The iGPU should be part of the thermal budget of the rest of the processor. Maybe it's handled differently because it doesn't draw that much power and doesn't really contribute to overheating it. I'm not sure.
Maybe it's more a hardware failure, a defective sensor, dust, a loose heat conductor, thermal paste or the fan? I still can't believe a laptop would enter that mode unless something was wrong with the hardware. But I might be wrong.
Listen to the people who say it's probably encryption. I'd agree with that. And you can try all sorts of programs and ways to fix corrupted files... It won't help if it's encryption. You'd need to find out the specifics, see if there is a script floating around or some tutorial for your specific phone model that tells you how to decrypt them.
But reading that text like they tell you to do, is kind of an exercise in futility if you choose topic two. (the benefits of artificial satellites in telecommunications) I'd be angry at that point.
Why does it force the processor over the limit in the first place?
I think in every other laptop the CPU just throttles when it gets too hot. Meaning it can never exceed the maximum temperature. I wonder if this is a misunderstanding or if HP actually did away with all of that and designed a laptop that will cook itself.
And it's not even a good design decision to shutdown the PC if someone runs a game... Aren't computers meant to run them? Why not automatically lower the framerate by throttling? Why shut down instead?
Yeah, I agree. And I appreciate your perspective.
I don't think growing Lemmy and funnelling in users works out. We don't grow. We're somewhere between 40k and 50k active users and there is no trend in either direction.
Last year, I despised beehaw for doing their own thing and not respecting how federation is supposed to work. That is connecting people and not being a patchwork of small spaces that don't talk to each other because of small minds/perspectives... I think I changed my mind a bit. Their way of doing things turned out to foster better behaviour than on other instances. It's still detrimental to the idea of a federated platform, but still... The effects aren't just negative.
I think we have lots of issues here. The culture is a bit different from what I'd like it to be. It's a tiny bit above Reddit in atmosphere, but on the downside it lacks the (niche) experts. It's more average people here and just the most predominant opinions. Furthermore, it's too much discussing the news and not much else that'd be meaningful for my life. It's too small for lots of things that this place could excel in and that you won't find anywhere else.
And the technology really isn't that good. Progress is super slow, they don't implement the things the users need and wish for. And it doesn't foster growth or nice behaviour.
And I think that's the main issue. We'd need a solid basis to build something upon. It needs to be shiny, have excellent moderation tools and user-facing features. All of this has been requested but except for things like instance blocking by the user, that doesn't even block their users, we didn't get much.
My personal wish is that new approaches like PieFed will go ahead and provide that to us. I think I'd like to host an instance with that and then invite some people. As of now I didn't advertise for Lemmy because I think neither the software, nor the atmosphere/community, nor the content here is worth convincing anyone to join. At this point I'm just waiting for one of the three to get anywhere. But I think I'd also like to defederate from a few people. And force them to be nice, upvote replies, not just dump any random links but provide some text in a post, and have some niche interest communities, because just dumping links to news and posting memes isn't cutting it. We already have X and Mastodon for that...
And a little disclaimer: I'm being negative in this comment. But that's not all there is to it. There is a reason why I'm here. I regularly have nice interactions, learn new things and have good conversations. It's just that it's far between and I see lots of potential for more. And I'd really like that to become reality.
Then get help. There is medication that can suppress feelings. The numbers I linked aren't just for suicide prevention. Getting help for other mental conditions is a related thing. It's basically the same doctors/therapists. Just don't self-medicate, that won't get you anywhere.
If you're serious about what you say, ask a doctor. He or she can make you stop feeling. It's probably antidepressants that do that. And they're prescribed by doctors. And if it ain't easy to find a doctor, call the helpline, they have some contacts for people like you...
Correct answer. And this is going to help way more than adding a few trackers. Also consider doing the port-forward in your router, if you're behind a NAT and it doesn't do it automatically. That makes even more peers available.
