    This phone sucks, the display looks moderate at 1° viewing angle, isn’t as powerful as my desktop PC, and we think all resources should be mined in the most unethical ways so we can have 20 more hours of tiktok on a single charge.

    Tech channels go further and further from the mark of “good”. I’m not playing AAA games on my phone, I don’t watch YouTube for 20 hours straight, I prefer larger bezels (even if slightly uneven) because I tend to touch the screen accidentally if they’re too small, and I prefer more responsible resources even if it means less battery life or performance.

    I don’t need a PC in my pocket and Linus is just going too far into the techbro headspace for me to trust him for anything .

  • Also, I’ve had this problem on a laptop. The problem is more likely that you’re underutilizing the GPU and so the whole graphics load is put on the CPU. Try cranking up the graphics settings as well.

    Not everyone has one, but try connecting to a TV, 1080p monitor (with both screens running), or a higher res display (2k/4k) with the laptop screen off. The added load will utilize the GPU more and the game won’t crash.

    My issue was with Rocket League and it would crash like this so I kept turning graphics settings down which made the issue more frequent. I recently got a new desktop with a 2k monitor and, before the actual computer parts arrived, I played games on the laptop through the 2k display with no issues whatsoever.

    Laptops are a different breed that will need more utilization of the GPU in some cases since the graphics aren’t handled solely by the GPU
