I was just thinking that would be easier than using acrylic paint but it’s not the same

My brother decorates polystyrene spheres using pins and various sequins. I tried that, but don't have his patience.

oh you should try pinning an orange with whole cloves. A lot of work but the end result is worth it - I love the smell

If you switch it off it will run at 0%.

Seriously, check task manager, click the CPU column header to sort it and see what is using the CPU.

Yeah with mine, the culprit was Firefox - it was heavy on the CPU so I had no choice but to go back to Chrome until Mozilla fixes the issue

Yeah I’m still able to play Skyrim on full graphics settings and I have a mid end range gaming card. Can’t access pc right now as of some stupid update going on.

I’ve been playing Fable III on full settings too.

Disable antivirus software and see what happens - don't have it connected to the internet though

Changes constantly. Been staring at the Task Manager for 2 weeks now.
Usual suspects:

• Service Host: Task Scheduler
• McAfee
• Windows Explorer
• Service Host: Windows Update
• Services & Controller App
• Microsoft Teams

Performed a Storage Test - passed
Rebuilt the Indexing - improved issues so that sometimes I even get 10% CPU usage....WHOOP!

Switch on Chrome = 100% CPU

/UNABLE TO COMPLY

Disconnect from internet = 8-45% CPU
Connect back to = 18-100% CPU

Yeah, I"m due for an upgrade as well - I'm still using Sandybridge, to give you an idea of how old my desktop is. Still going after 10 years.

Finally, I understand how to use my monitor's menu system.

 

[BloodrayneZA]

It seems that CPU's outlast most hardware. I have not experienced or tested a failed CPU in my entire life as a technician or in my personal capacity.

Yeah it's like a woman, you gotta know how to press the right buttons. Lol

What are you thinking of getting?

I have more experience of monitors than I do of women. I am probably better off that way, though sometimes I look at my thinking around this topic and suspect that I am exhibiting incel tendencies.

I use FireFox on my PC and Chrome on my phone. Hardly ever have an issue.
