#PowerSaving

2026-01-08

Version 1.9.1 of the #TLP #Linux #powersaving tool was released. It consists mainly of security fixes for #tlp-pd. For details, please refer to the publication by the #openSUSE Security Team.

@Oleksii @robinsyl #ARM64 grows because #Intel and #AMD basically gave up delivering compareable computing power in the same thermal, electrical and price envelope.

  • See Z3735F (2,2W), N3010 (3W) & x5-E8000 (4W) having no successors of equally low TDP or even lower in production! The closest ist the i3-N300 (7W) and N95 (15W) respectably.

Add to it the rise of #SBCs like #RaspberryPi that further kicked the cost down in terms of basic computing and the big #Linux #community that welcomes cheap #hardware and does it's best to put it to good use.

It truly confirms @landley 's saying that #Innovation in Computing it actually trickling up and thus #tech gets moved from the #Desk to the #Rack to "the #Cloud"...

Obviously, I wished for truly #OpenSource'd #RISCv to take the place but that's about 5-25 years lagging behind #ARM due to #patents in many key technologies like #PowerSaving...

@mrmasterkeyboard @hexaheximal In terms of architectures I'm mostly limited by time, hardware that I have access to and toolchain support.

#OS1337 on #Xenon is quite low on the list but still not on the bottom because I have systems in my possession. Unlike "normal" #32bit #PowerPC systems.

  • Mind you I have exactly 0 "#PowerSaving" or other energy optimizations in _OS/1337 (or even multithreading) support built-in, which on most modern systems results in dogshit performance below rated base clock because modern CPUs and Chipsets expect the OS to communicate with them and if it doesn't they gonna assume the OS is fubar and drop into failsafe modes. With some luck they may even prevent the CPU from frying itself and turn on the fan on their own.

I don't have much hands-on aside from mainstream #ix86 / #x86 / #amd64 Systems and #ARMv5r11 / #ARM64 SBCs.

Ever had a “sleep” request vetoed by storage? This piece digs into how a filesystem sync can be the final arbiter of whether your system actually sleeps 😴

I have just released version 1.9.0 of the #TLP #Linux #powersaving tool.

Enjoy the brand new #tlp-pd (TLP Profiles Daemon) for easy profile switching with a mouse click!

tlp-pd replaces #power-profiles-daemon by implementing the same D-Bus API that major Linux desktop environments like GNOME, KDE and Cinnamon already use.

I have just released version 1.9.0-beta.1 of the #TLP #Linux #powersaving tool.

The key innovation in this release is the new Profiles Daemon. #tlp-pd enables you to conveniently switch between performance (AC), balanced (BAT) and power-saving (SAV) settings profiles from your Linux desktop environment and replaces #power-profiles-daemon.

Please take part in the beta test. I look forward to seeing your results.

Sleep mode and Hibernate mode are both power-saving options in Windows, but they work differently. Sleep stores your session in RAM and uses a little power for quick resume. Hibernate saves data to the hard drive, uses no power. windows101tricks.com/hibernate

Demon’s Souls on PS5 gets a patch for Sony's new power saving feature, cutting power draw from ~230W to under 100W.

But expect lower framerate and resolution.

Not ideal for serious gamers!

This update is live NOW! (non-beta!)

Of course, being a fan of power-saving and efficiency, I immediately activated it.

It seems none of my currently installed games support it, though. (games have to actively support it so there's a proper way to downscale whatever saving they can use.)

So, looking forward to tech YouTube channels with actual comparisons.

I don't think many people will actually enable this setting, but I'll gladly give it a try!

PlayStation 5 menu showing the settings page for "Power Saver for Games" 

The text reads:

"Select which PS5 games to play using power saver. Gameplay performance will scale back as needed to reduce power consumption." 

Following this a setting with an enabled switch:
"Use Power Saver: This will also apply to newly installed games that support this feature. You'll see the power saver icon (little leaf icon with a plus in it) under games that support it on the home screen." 

Lastly the screen shows "Installed games that support power saver will be displayed here." with no games displayed.

@jbqueru OFC and in terms of #RISCv vs. #ARM it won't be competitive for quite some time as ARM includes a lot of #proprietary and #patented #PowerSaving technologies that are just not available outside of said closed ISA.

  • I do thus treat #ARM64 like #amd64: A "black box" that I cannot audit, verify or control beyond what it allows me to.

I know preserve battery health is good for me, but my brain sure does love to see that 100% charge.

@gurkan@tilde.zone seeing weird sub-2-minute behaviour here as well. Haven't figured out yet why. Blamed first, but there weren't any changes to its configuration.
