You’re missing the forest for the trees. It’s one thing to have your phone stole but it’s another completely and unrelated thing to have someone force you to do something on your phone at gunpoint.

How the hell is any type of security system ever going to be able to help you in the scenario you described?

In case you don’t know what your type of comment is called, it’s “moving the goalpost”.

There’s a significant difference between your phone being stolen and this random scenario you just made up.

That’s no longer an exclusive, there’s a PC remake. You could’ve picked a better example.

I would hope 16C/32T CPU from 2017 could handle software transcoding

I didn’t say it couldn’t handle it. Just that it was very inefficient.

peak power consumption while playing a movie does not really matter compared to idle power consumption

I mentioned both things. Did you actually read my comments?

I think it’s a point of a interest for any hw running 24/7 but you do you.

Regarding transcoding, are you saying you’re not even doing it? If you are, doing it with your cpu is far more inefficient than using a gpu. But again, different strokes I guess.

Isn’t ryzen not recommended for transcoding? Plus, I’ve read that power efficiency isn’t great. Mostly regarding idle power consumption.
