Tbh i don’t see much difference in power usage when not gaming between 165 and 60hz on a laptop. Maybe it’s different on windows but I still doubt it, as igpus have panel self-refresh and render standby now

Dude goes into “Energy Recommendations”, gets mad when he’s suggesting how to save energy.
Have you tried not looking at power saving recommendations if it’s going to piss you off ?

Funny, how “wasting” energy on the refresh rate is bad, but wasting energy on invasive telemetry or installation of Clickchamp for the 100th time is totally necessary and mandatory.

Would you do it if they remove cortana?

If the games only run at 30fps by design now i guess it’s inevitable

Turn off my screen never works either. I have it set but often my computer will decide to just leave the screen on for hours or days anyway.

(yes its a real thing, you can add it to your power plans with “powercfg -duplicatescheme e9a42b02-d5df-448d-aa00-03f14749eb61” in cmd prompt)

Literally every phone does this too but when it’s Windows apparently that’s when it’s real shit

What about top microsoft “services” to conserve energy?

How about you stop monitoring everything I do and save even more power?
