Oh my, the modern web is so bloated/overloaded.
My Thinkpad x260 (Yoga) is dying while playing a Youtube video... let alone dropping a lot of frames.
I know, the CPU is older (i5-6200U) but come on - this is crazy.I've set the notebook up to play around with #FreeBSD on the desktop some more. Running #Xfce currently and having some dev stuff installed.
#FreeBSD handles the notebook like a champ, everything works... sadly that is not the same for using the web with a modern browser.
720p playbook loads up the CPU at a constant 50/60%.
Well, at least surfing the web is kinda ok... but not great tbh.Times really have changed... for the worse in some aspects.
I still remember surfing the web back than with a tiny AMD single core CPU - which was more then enough.Enough ranting.

@jhx It's true, the bloat is crazy. I too have an X260 (maxed with RAM and the higher spec i7, and enterprise SSD)... It will drive a single 4K but forget about doing so with screen-sharing on zoom/etc. Thermal shutdown occurs too often, mostly resolved by disassembly to clean all of the intake/fan/ducting and replace the old CPU paste with something higher spec.

@winterschon
The x260 is a nice laptop for sure!
Yeah, same here. Thermal shutdown so far has been avoided - the CPU still manages quite well.
But of course: One can feel the weight of the "modern" web.
The bloat is on another level nowadays... sadly.
We should go back to text only websites in pure HTML and a little CSS - at most some pictures. That would fair us all a lot better.
Let alone the massive e-waste created by planned obsolescense...
Well, the world we live in sure is crazy! -

@sixohsix that's a pretty good interpretation of the name “Black Friday”
much more sensible than that other thing we are being bombarded about

@ruojake I just found that as well XD

ok https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfdale_(microprocessor) has a handy little chart that explains intel's branding for this processor generation. the E5800 was sold as a "pentium" and not a "core 2 duo", so this is actually a *lower end* processor than I thought 😎

@aeva says here it's a Pentium https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfdale_(microprocessor)#Wolfdale-3M

Il problema è proprio questo: se c'è qualcosa che decidi di vedere ed è sbagliato, o criminoso, non esiste filtro, nemmeno teorico.
E chi divulga certi contenuti questo lo sa benissimo, tant'è che Durov strizza loro l'occhio con uscite come questa.
A me non tranquillizza, sinceramente.

@rachel @neil I was thinking of putting gardening centre stickers on there, making it look like a work van (not a construction work van though, tools are def worth breaking in for).

Non avrei costruito proprio lì sotto

@swiftcoder I just found a chart on wikipedia that confirms this: E7xxx and E8xxx would have been Core 2 Duo, higher would have been Xeon, and lower was pentium and celeron. so this would not have been sold as a core 2 duo
