Notes
- Did not start in the final
gollark: Aren't hyperfast simulations of reality great?
gollark: Okay, done.
gollark: Bee you. We will create 495 trillion simulations of you and subject them to mild inconveniences.
gollark: But it goes to power state 0 (max) at which it draws 12-20W, then stays there for several seconds, then goes to power state 8?
gollark: If I do nvidia-smi, it wakes up the Nvidia card from sleep, which makes some kind of sense.
