So good! Kinda just feels like I wouldn't even be able to tell the difference, save for my subreddits not being there. Love Sync, had always been my go-to app, and I'm glad it has a future.

Yes, but it only helps so much when the actual cooling solution is as unsuitable as it is.

They really are. For example, I have a P53s (basically a renamed T590) that will randomly clock the i7 CPU it came with down to 400MHz under active use for extended periods of time, and I can't run anything that actually uses the cores on the i7 for more than a minute without hitting the 95 degree PROCHOT. The dedicated GPU also will clock itself down to 100MHz and shift the termal throttling range from 75 degrees to 65 degrees randomly, on a system with a single fan cooling solution.

Just magical, and I can't wait to see Lenovo's next trick.

I don't really get the perspective some people seem to have in here that because Reddit can't turn a profit, that's somehow something that should come into the equation when it comes to justifying or explaining away the way that these sorts of moves are being implemented. Reddit's bad business model is their problem, not mine or anyone else's other than their gambling investors. What is my problem is the abrupt and unprofessional way in which they do things, and the improper way they conduct themselves when dealing with users or third parties. The scheduling alone for the third party API switch would be inexcusable for any business vendor that I or anyone I do business with would ever deal with, yet in HN it seems to be handwaved away with statements like "I agree the timing is tight."

Add to that the misrepresented communication with the Apollo dev in particular, I struggle to see how any of this is admissable from a platform or partner who is now in the business of selling access to their API at premium rates. Reddit has no intrinsic right to exist, and the fact that it can't turn a profit and that their product is now selling access to user-generated content that is being produced despite their shoddy engineering speaks volumes. If I was one of these devs (and it's hardly just the Apollo guy) I would not come back no matter what Reddit does. This sort of behaviour cannot be tolerated or made to be the new yardstick for VC sweethearts.
