I am hooked on this channel. It's interesting watching his method

I met Steve Wozniak got a picture of me and him .. amazing person..
I'm just waiting for those capacitors to burst and piddle all over the place.
Silly joke aide, Steve Wozniak and Jay Miner are two I look up to in awe, that's for sure!
All that computational power, three or four levels of on-die cache depending on model (or more, conceptually), integrated random access memory instead of modular and easily-upgradable designs, microcode firmware to allow software-based patching since it's harder to rewire 8 billion transistors inside a 16-core microprocessor... never mind overclocking, which also involves the happy fun-time question of "is the cost of the increased electricity, heat output, and potential lifespan degradation worth a 25% faster clocked CPU speed, which does not translate into 25% rendering time acceleration" for which the answer isn't a straight yes or no...
Now riddle me this: The day a microchip can do all the functionality of four Ryzen Threadripper 7995WX chips with quad- nVidia 5090, 2048TB of DDR5 RAM or whatever will be out by then, with embedded SSD because who wants modular anything anymore, and can also multitask as a 12x12" pancake skillet (mostly for the IHS required, ha!), inquiring minds want to know! Well, maybe keep the SSD separate as even with wear-leveling and TRIM, it'll wear out by five~ten years of regular use and with luck all the other components of that SoaC would remain viable for several years' worth of use longer... probably all within fifteen years once they get fabrication technology so minuscule ( < 0.5nm, industry is already at 2nm), assuming silicon is still used and not some other substrate (Gallium nitride appears to be promising, but it'll still be a while...) What version of Windows will be running it, or will it be some FreeBSD or Linux clone OS? Now look at if BeOS were to be made for such a theoretical system and drool...
We're getting there...... Almost to the point where a high powered laptop could only have a 4 or 5 chips on the mainboard including memory and everyone will call that a win. In some ways it would streamline production of these devices but not the cost to purchase, maybe the reliability might rise a slight bit because also by then you could offer options on such a board like more external storage slots. less chance of user damage from trying to "fix" stuff.
Someone made a Frankenpc out of a mini pc and external gpu dock

500 watts, that is some scary power for a pc, i have a oil radiator room heater that pulls 500 watts to heat the room. Lol
Have you seen the power requirements for some of the recent GPUs on the market?
Actually if anyone can help I'm in the middle of updating an ASUS TUF F15 gaming laptop and I disabled the touchpad but when I use the mouse to scroll pages it isn't smooth but janky sometimes and the page will scroll down part way then go back up a little.
What is your screen refresh rate, have you tried a second mouse in to see if its a actual mouse isssue, dirt or dust.
144hz is my refresh rate but not sure if that's only for gaming but not regular use where it would scale down wouldn't it?
OK this is going to sound like the oddest solution ever but it totally fixed my problem. I have two identical mice on the laptop and my desktop, same brand, same model. I just swapped the mouse and receiver from the desktop machine and now it's working perfectly.. I'm not 100% sure how this fixed the issue but maybe it was related to the wireless signal or something.

Try putting the screen refresh to 60hz and then try the mouse that was having issues via some browsing.
I just tried that before reading your post and surprisingly the other one works as well now, even with the screen reset to it's default refresh rate of 144hz. Can't explain why both are now working
Computers can be quirky that's for sure.Gremlins..
The only other explanation I could come up with is that maybe the wifi router was interfering with the mouse signal and now it isn't The router is on the same desk as the laptop is right now at the back of the desk and I'm using Ethernet from the laptop to the router. I only have the wifi on because of my phone, which uses that.
