Which apps? Maybe KOREADER, eInkBro, Infinity for reddit? On iOS side I love Overcast for podcasts.

Man all my favorite Android apps are getting sniped. First Infinity for Reddit, now Tachiyomi. These apps are important since official apps don't have e ink optimizations (aka disable animations).

Perfect! I have relatively slow internet and multiple PCs that I install games too. Way easier than making backup files and copying to USB.

Yes, a great app, it does OCR on subtitles that are stored as images and converts to a Chromecast compatible text format so it is incredibly powerful.

I was using HDMI, don't think it's related.

Yup! Took them long enough, after everyone already gave up and replaced them with M1!

Also, if you have this issue with an external GPU, something else is going on, since in that case the GPU inside the Mac isn't being used and generating heat.

And no, haven't had that kind of extreme issue. Maybe you have dust?

seam_carveron Did Windows 10 slow down with each feature update?

I replaced my laptop with HDD with SSD and Win10 is usable again. Did the same with my 2011 Desktop.

OP here: had no issues with sleep or wake. Using Apple HDMI adapter.

seam_carveron Solved by 1440p HiDPI: MacBook Pro 16“ is hot and noisy with an external monitor

Random thought, when I used the official Apple HDMI adapter, I had no issues. When I used a third party USB-C-DP cable, I had random crashes, especially when turning on or waking from sleep.

Sorry, removed paywall. Didn't realize it was default.

Turned off paywall, sorry! Didn't realize that it was the default!

seam_carveron Solved by 1440p HiDPI: MacBook Pro 16“ is hot and noisy with an external monitor

TLDR: My Macbook Pro is hot and noisy when connected to a 2560x1440p60 monitor, even when the lid is closed at idle. This article outlines a partial solution that enables silent operation at idle when the lid is closed.

I was kind of hoping people would be commenting "Wow this fixed my issue" but I guess very few people have 2560x1440p60 monitors...

I'm starting to think it's specific to 1440p60

Added a note that I was drawing 20W even when lid was closed. Thanks for feedback.

I took fullscreen screenshots to get the statistics, then cropped via another screenshot. The first one was 2560x1440. The 2nd one was 5220x2880. So noticeably sharper.

Why only 30 Hz? I hear 60 Hz solves a different class of issues.

That's unfortunate, but does 1 monitor/lid closing make a difference?

Thank you for your feedback. You aren't the only one who commented something like this, so I added a TLDR at the top of the article.

Yea, was just a joke.

Probably just very few people have 1440p monitors I guess.

Well the MacBook is silent even when the dGPU is on if it's rendering at 1440p HiDPI for me. Hot and noisy at normal 1440p.

Wow, you got wrecked by a 1440p specific bug.

Were you using a 1440p monitor, out of curiosity?

This might be relevant. I took fullscreen screenshots. The first one was 2560x1440. The second one was 5120x2880.
