That kind of looks like the at a glance feature. Perhaps you have a timer setup on a Google Home device? Or had.

Hmm, maybe some other interaction / conflict? Never experienced this on both my desktop (Arch, Wayland, Gnome) or my work PC (Fedora Silverblue, so Wayland and Gnome but slightly behind).

I wouldn't really be able to tell with the information it provides. But that 1KW figure does factor in the camera array since I can access it idle.

The amount of power those screens use is peanuts compared to the drive train.

I can chill in my car with AC, screens, and charge my steam deck for hours and my battery only goes down a couple %.

My car uses 1KW in that state. That's as precise as it shows me, so I'm guessing it's rounded up. Taking it at face value, with a 65KWh battery it would take 65 hours to drain completely (I like easy math).

Usually when I suspect a hardware issue I start by unplugging every external device that isn't the keyboard. If that does the trick, in they go again one by one. Otherwise, it's time for hardware to get the same treatment. Unfortunately your processor doesn't have on board graphics, so unless you have a donor system you can borrow a known working good GPU from, I'd probably try and reseat the GPU (remove, maybe canned air to blow out slot, back in).

The last frame gives the community name a different vibe.

True, especially if it's oriented at a consumer and not commercial.

Edge AI inference is very valuable, just not in this context.

In getting mixed vibes. It feels like it's people with no relationship prospects (for whatever reason, and I can attest to this as one of them) who might tend toward the "2d girls > 3d girls" crowd getting a harsh reminder. That and the music.

This is exactly why I do the dishes after a good meal. I can't relax with the thought of a sink full of dishes, they need to be handled!

Do you particularly need a gaming laptop for such infrequent use? I can't solve the blackouts / in for repair or upgrades issue, but I personally got a Steam Deck for this niche in my life and prior to that I used Moonlight to game stream from my home desktop when on vacation.

Not optimal for FPS games but for my use (MMO) more than sufficient. Just a couple potential options, obviously YMMV - Moonlight depends on your Internet connection on either side.
