I doubt that a clean Windows 11 install causes issues. If anything it has better power management on 13th gen.

Framework Laptop 13 with 13th gen Intel.

Doesn’t sound normal to me. But those newer CPUs can scale the frequency extremely fast, so looking at the numbers in Task Manager might not be too meaningful.
Didn’t have any heating/fan issues on a 13th gen Framework Laptop 13 in either Windows 11 or Linux. But haven’t exactly looked at the clocks either. And don’t have access to those notebooks currently.

But the hardware vendors can mess up either thermal paste/cooling in gerneral, or force weird clock behavior via the bios/efi/acpi tables.

I don’t have evidence. That’s why I added the rumor in the title and mentioned it on the end of the post. It just never happend before in the youtube app like this. Could be pure coincidence. The only thing that concerns me is the language they use. It’s very suggestive they’ve done this on purpose. At least it sounds this way in German.

This happend on the app. Seems a bit odd, that I have to completely restart it when blocking a video. Whats next, logging in and out after every comment?

Not that you will read 300+comments, but cancel and go with starlink. They probably call you back and offer you an uncapped plan :D

Firefox consumes a ton of power for me, for some reason (Apple M1 Pro).

Huh? I had the redesign for a few weeks already and I can still double click playlists in my library. Only annoying issue I’m having is a wide unnecessary black bar when using spotify in full screen on MacOS.
