@Nick there isn't anything built-in on your system that would keep track of CPU activity for that long of a period
you could probably install a program to start capturing that data, but right now I guarantee your system doesn't have anything gathering that data out of the box
long term CPU usage isn't a useful metric anyway, imo
I don't know why my memory is showing 65% usage even though I'm not running any programs.
And sometimes it's stuck.

Two circuits service my bedroom (one is shared with the bathroom, the other is not well determined, though I do which one of the outlets is separate), so I do have a means of load-balancing in the event I have multiple devices demanding lots of power.
Finally matched all circuit breakers to outlets and other devices in this house.
It turns out Astaroth is on a dedicated circuit \o/
@bwDraco yeah... though I'm not quite sure why ours isn't natural gas powered, as natural gas through a pipe is a more efficient means of transporting energy that gets used as heat, compared to electricity
coal -> electricity is better for work and fossil fuels directly combusted on premises are better for producing heat
esp because it's very efficient to transport natural gas, just requires a pump on one end
The NEMA 5-20R receptacle (similar to the ubiquitous NEMA 5-15R, but with a T shape in the neutral slot) is most often found in commercial environments but is sometimes seen in places like kitchens for use with high-power appliances.
Normal 15A devices will fit in the 5-20R receptacle, but the neutral connector of 20A devices is horizontal so that it will not fit in a 5-15R socket.
Code actually requires NEMA 5-20R in kitchens for new construction; this is to accommodate certain high-power appliances like toaster ovens and blenders.
Hmm... It looks like 20A receptacles aren't required, but 20A circuits are.
The circuit for the two appliance branch circuits must be rated at 20A. The receptacles (outlets), because these circuits are multi-outlet branch circuits, do not necessarily have to be 20A as far as I can tell. Same in the bathroom; 20A is required for the wiring but that is because the circuit is multi-outlet; the receptacles themselves can be 15A. It's been covered before that it is acceptable to install a 15A outlet on a 20A circuit. — KeithSApr 19 '12 at 18:51

Hi, I have once desktop PC which is not turning on. Althouth PC turns on, Fans are running, monitor power lights are blinking and doesn't display anything. What could be the problem?
I don't have external video card. only built in Graphics.
Checked unplugging and re-plugging power cables as well as VGA cables.
Btw, I'm sure the PC will turn on after sometime (may be after several hours) and will run for days without any problem but the problem arrives occasionally -- this looks funny but do you have any idea on this condition?
@bertieb yes, but I am still not sure about overheating since PC can run without any interrupt of overheating for hours and currently (in present case when the problem arrived) when I am trying to turn on, the PC was off for a day.
@allquixotic You mean touchpad, last I checked no Macbooks had a fingerprint reader option
@allquixotic I believe the Razer comes with 4K wide-gamut and touchscreen options for the display as well (i.e. probably comparable to the Retina on the MBP), but you can't get that and 144Hz at the same time.
Also is it one 4TB SSD or two 2TB SSDs in the MBP?
A couple other manufacturers (HP, Dell) have announced laptops with 4TB NVMe but both use 2x2TB drives. But Apple have also had soldered SSDs in the past or could be using a pre-public-release-exclusive
@allquixotic JMG keeps banging on about it! (Also, it was one of the main contenders when I bought my Alienware 15R3)
@RegularGDPR one 4 TB SSD as far as the block layer of the OS can see; might be 2 x 2 TB chips in some kind of controller-level hardware RAID-0 but you wouldn't be able to see that in the OS
A couple manufacturers have announced 4TB single NVMe SSDs, and Samsung's had one leaked too, competition is really hotting up now that 3+ fabs have of 3D TLC V-NAND in mass production
@allquixotic That's actually pretty cool. Fingerprint sensors on PCs are consistently inconsistent, and almost always come as an "option" that can't be selected with other options I need.
@RegularGDPR yeah, and it's not one of those IBM "Nananananana" ones (that's a reference to an IBM commercial from years ago) where you have to swipe your finger
@allquixotic I'm not terribly against the swipe ones on laptops/PCs. They usefully double as an additional set of directional inputs (up down left right scroll, etc), whereas on phones they're just awful (e.g. Samsung S5)
My on old Fujitsu business convertible for example I could use the swipey fingerprint reader as a makeshift micro touchpad when in tablet mode and the actual touchpad was hidden (this is after I broke the touchscreen and had to use pen only input in tablet mode)
In fact that laptop/tablet/convertible had a linear touchpad scroll bar next to the screen too, and a circular touchpad scroll wheel next to the main touchpad, for a total of 5 capacitive touch inputs. Using more than one at a time made everything laggy as hell though, as if they were all hooked up to a single PS/2 controller
Technically if I hadn't moved out when I did, my flatmates were moving out in a couple months anyway, so I'd have been left in a 3 person flat when I'm not even on the lease...
@Burgi Because I'm about to become too old for the 1-year working holiday programme, and last time I was there for a week I managed to draw up a to-do list 3 months long already
@bertieb, as I always I appreciate all of the time and effort you devote to the Suggested Edits queue, but I am a bit curious regarding the rationale behind approving this one:
@Run5k I felt the improvement was significant - i in place of I is one that makes my own eye twitch! - enough that I felt it was a reasonable improvement. The post is old, but potentially answerable (solutions for new users if not OP).
@BenN, yes, absolutely. But when I first started reviewing Suggested Edits, I was very sternly mentored regarding approving edits to an older post. This one is actually 8½ years old and hasn't received any up-votes, comments, or answers.
It seems like some users make minor edits to old (and mostly) answered questions, editing things like tags, grammar and similar other minor details. So far this isn't bad and exactly what the edit function is for, but the problem I have is that it brings lots of attention to old and probably alre...
Of course, I would be glad to comply with the rules-of-the-road. I can easily recognize that those proposed edits were beneficial. However, I checked the question before I decided to approve or reject, and noticed the age, lack of feedback, and that it hadn't been bumped already.
Based upon what I had been taught before, I thought the consensus interpretation was to reject that type of edit. If I am mistaken, my apologies and I will adjust accordingly in the future.
@bertieb, once again my sincere apologies if I have been working under a long-term misunderstanding regarding when to approve/reject edits on older questions. As usual, you are on top of things so thank you for correcting my mistake!
@Run5k No apologies necessary- I think your considerations were valid and well-founded; in the absence of a strict quantitative rule it's a judgement call and different folks will draw the line at slightly different points in the same area. As ever you review with the review with the best of intentions; and I appreciate you taking the time to review the reviews, it's a noble endeavour :)
