The Logistics of Energy: Subnautica 2’s Battery Terminal

Subnautica 2 players need to scan 2 Battery Terminal fragments in Old Habitat ruins to unlock blueprint. Learn material costs and how to recharge batteries.

Players in Subnautica 2 must now find 2 fragments to build the Battery Terminal, a key item for recharging batteries, unlike previous games where battery management was simpler.

Came back to my workstation this morning and saw that it's been running all night again, instead of going to S3 standby.

I wish I knew how to troubleshoot https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-session/-/work_items/174 further. That bug where suspend inhibitors sometimes get stuck and randomly make my desktop computer unable to automatically go to sleep when Nautilus or Shortwave are left running… is a huge waste of energy when it's no longer winter here.

Moving beyond basic low-power configuration on the JL JieLi AC696N, there are three advanced power management settings that can prevent intermittent crashes and improve user experience. Here's what I've learned while debugging an SD-card-based audio product.

All of these can be validated on the AC696N development board before porting to custom hardware. Taking the time to tune them saves weeks of field debugging.

High-nit outdoor LCDs require precise power regulation to prevent uneven aging and luminance decay over time.

Highlights from the main #PowerManagement merge for #Linux 7.0:

""By the number of commits, cpufreq is the leading party (again) and the most visible change there is the removal of the omap-cpufreq driver that has not been used for a long time (good riddance). There are also quite a few changes in the cppc_cpufreq driver, mostly related to fixing its frequency invariance engine in the case […]

Next up is cpuidle and the changes there are dominated by intel_idle driver updates, mostly related to the new command line facility allowing users to adjust the list of C-states used by the driver. […]

The most significant update related to system suspend and hibernation is the one to stop freezing the PM runtime workqueue during system PM transitions which allows some deadlocks to be avoided. […]

[…]and there are assorted cleanups, documentation fixes, and some cpupower utility improvements. […]""

Finally found the setting in the MinisForum U820 BIOS that tells it to power on after a power failure. Guess what? It is not working.

U820 is both cool and strange at the same time.

It just occurred to me that it should be possible to stack cheap UPSs, and let them take the load then run out sequentially with no complicated management requirements... 🤔 Don't think I've seen it done. But it would work in the space.

FINALLY! ~8 years after fully/permanently switching to linux and trying a bunch of different distros/DEs, i just decided to switch to debian xfce, and i can put my laptop to sleep & wake it up without frying my mobo or having to hard reset. success!!!! #linux #debian #xfce #powermanagement

Using Ubuntu 24.04 LTS? You'll soon see notices when tweaking power management features due to new EU ecodesign regulations. Disabling auto-suspend will show a warning about higher power consumption. Keep your settings energy-efficient! #Ubuntu #PowerManagement #EcoFriendly

Does anyone else have their apple machine reboot on them willy nilly? My air m2 does that after I have been afk for a while. Instead of waking from sleep, sometimes it just decides to restart. Obviously forgets all the windows and the desktops they were assigned to.

So frustrating. It's such an absolute shitshow of an OS. I wish I didn't have to use it for work :(

Puzzled by what I'm seeing in #powertop on Fedora 42 in the list of things keeping the CPU awake:

- What is this "tick_nohz_handler" thing? I tried looking it up on the web, never found a clear answer.

- Why would gnome-text-editor be the only app waking up the CPU 59-60 times per second at all times?

#Linux #powermanagement #energyefficiency

I really don’t understand Linux power management.

No distro I have used can properly sleep/wake my system. Unless I shut off sleep and run balanced power and turn the screen off it just kills itself after its inactivity period.

It’s frustrating to have to reboot every time I want to touch my system.

Any suggestions? No motherboard power options I can find and #linux #powermanagement

Multi UPS SNMP based shutdown

I've noticed something interesting:

Subject: Android
Nested subject: heat management

Only when you pay significant amounts of USD do certain companies actually pay attention to properly cooling down their Androids

At the ignorant level I got myself a few Samsung phones over the past years. I deliberately never went over the mid-range price of phones simply because of the premium price that Samsung lets you pay for mid-range phones.

My first Android was donated to me because I didn't see any Good use for it looking at my workflow, which consists of email SMS POTS and GSM connections.

So the first Samsung was a budget Android phone. In those years the SOC's didn't produce any significant amount of heat where cooling was a premium Factor.

So I went to my first purchased Samsung Android. Then cooling became significant but the phone got by, simply because I didn't do anything that was graphic intensive and I never played games on midrange phones because they were not designed for it.

On other Samsung phone is where cooling became a factor because I started to use a Emoji program produced by Samsung itself that created 3D emojis for you making the GPU on the soc work a bit.

It was then that I learned that midrange phones didn't get any great Cooling, Samsung just made those things heat up to 40 Celsius and when it reached 41 the phone went down. I never got a problem because I constantly monitor the temperature of the Android simply by putting my lower arm on the screen; if the touch screen is warm to the touch it means that the phone is about 10 Celsius higher in temperature so I naturally shut it down because the battery can then become a littleral bomb.

Getting to other Androids is where I realized that cooling was not important for many companies.

Xiaomi makes very nice mid-range phones with good specs and enormously poor Cooling. My Note 12s is proof of that.

That phone is basically bricked because I had to cool it in such an aggressive way, that the power management System of it which got haywire after the last patch simply failed to work even in the basically manner before the fateful patch.

On Flagship phones at all brands the companies do pay attention to proper Cooling

I've had a number of those flagship phones on my hands and I deliberately jacked up the GPUs to work and those things were cooled well

The question is: why do companies want a thousand USD or more before they properly cool their Android devices, with hot GPUs why can't they do it on a device that costs $175 USD?

The reply may surprise you it's part of planned obsolescence.

My Xiaomi me phone worked well for just a year, it only reached that year because of my aggressive Cooling.

After that the phone was toasted remotely by Xiaomi, since the patch destroyed the heat & power management.

This makes me want to go back to the period where heat sinks were made of aluminum on circuits which only had two layers.

Those were the devices that you could repair yourself easily with just a soldering iron some heatsink paste and soldering skills.

And don't let me start on that battery thing, because those are the real hard planned obsolescence systems, destroying your phone after 3 years of battery life which should be easily replaceable

I'd want Nautilus (and thus the #GNOME file picker UI) to stop trying to search multiple times per second while I am not nearly done typing the search query, as I consider that to be extremely wasteful, conceptually. Pounding the CPU+GPU "faster than I can think & type" is counterproductive.
If you don't "feel the jank" like I do, then think about the wasted energy (especially on battery power):

Are you wondering why your laptop drains battery faster when it is in "sleep" mode (suspend to RAM, standby) or why it may even be hot and running when you take it out of your backpack? Well this is probably why:
