I forgot to update this thread. After a little bit of prodding around and shutting down random programs one day, I realized it was Elgato Camera Hub that is causing the problem. I re-tested it and ran my system for 7 days. I was able to consistently see the entire system rise in CPU usage (as if it's throttling), and then as soon as I close Camera Hub, it goes from 10-20% idle down to 4-6% idle. I was able to reproduce it a few times now in various tests. I will file a bug report with Elgato at some point. With the fix, here is what the Task Manager looks like after 6 days. Usually at this point, the CPU experiences 25-40% idle where all progarms on the entire system are all using more CPU. It was insane finding this out and seeing my CPU finally come back to normal ever since I got this webcam over a year ago.

Hello, An issue that has plagued me for the past few years has been random high CPU usage. No, it's not just one single program or an svchost that has high CPU usage. What often happens is that the entire system ends up using more CPU, as if the CPU is throttling, but it isn't (which I can often verify with HWiNFO). All the programs start to use 2-10x more CPU as the system stays on for 2, 3, 4+ days. A restart fixes the problem, but then it just comes back after a day or two. I know I should probably restart my system anyways, but it's incredibly frustrating to do so when I need to pick up where I left off the next day most times. I have done countless reinstalls of Windows 10 to try and solve the problem, but it always reappears. I do notice that, as far as I can tell, it doesn't happen with a fresh install of Windows, but I do have a plethora of programs I do need to install on a new system. These include: Logitech G HUB MSi Afterburner (without Riva Statistics Tuner) Voicemeeter VRCX Spotify Discord Steam Process Lasso (I often don't download it until I need it, but it does happen without it) Elgato Wave Link Elgato Camera Hub others that I may not remember, or have just downloaded over time, such as Blender Photoshop Clip Studio Paint Substance Painter Oculus VSCode Unity Hub + Unity 2019/2022 Escape from Tarkov Below are the required specs of my entire system: CPU: Ryzen R9 3950X GPU: EVGA RTX 3080 RAM: 32 GB (4x8 GB) 3000 Mhz CL15 Corsair Vengeance LPX Motherboard: ASRock X570M Pro4 - BIOS: Last Latest @ 3.90 (I see they finally released a new one: 5.50 as of 5 days ago, so I will try that at some point, but it does not mention a major issue like this) CPU Cooler: NZXT X52 240mm PSU: EVGA 750 B2 Boot SSD: ADATA SX8200 Pro (first gen, before they did that change I guess where they are worse now) Other SSD: Samsung 840 Evo 500 GB Other SSD: Crucial P2 2TB HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB (this thing is 10 years old) Ext.

Possible theories I have: I wanted to present a couple theories I have that may be related to or the cause of this problem, but have not been able to properly test. However, I will spoiler them, as to not bias any questions or suggestions, so look at your own risk:

I thought this was a pretty good video that nicely summarizes everything. I figured it should have it's own thread, but I understand if it needs to be merged.

I don't think these conflict at all. She could have been in the final stages of an interview, or had a few decent chances at other jobs before she quit. She was probably waiting to resign, but decided to just quit since she had some possibilities open already.

Colin (former LMG employee) confirms partially what Madison said about her experience there. https://twitter.com/DubMFG/status/1692018343476441144?t=Cc5gefhFzdFEAsNJuYG1FQ&s=19

So I don't want to make any assumptions from this. However, it is at least clear that Madison is aware of legal recourse. So here's to hoping something comes out of it?

Criminally? For sure. I don't think anyone should be prosecuted off allegations. But considering the context of what LTT is doing, how they are responding incredibly poorly, and the weight of the allegations, I am at least morally obligated to support Madison here. Why would Madison make up such crazy claims over nothing? Especially when she wrote the same stuff in her glassdoor review back then.

I'm not sure where 18 came from. She was 20 at rig reboot, so presumably 21/22 when she worked at LMG.

You do understand that each of those social media posts were to be more than a "funny haha" that takes 5 seconds to come up with, right? And same with the floatplane exclusives?

Woohoo! Dedicated thread. Thanks Spotty

Hmmm, yes. Lets play individual paying out of pocket for a lawyer where the only evidence is not recorded vs. a multi-million dollar company whose image to the public is paramount. Surely that will go over well, especially if the lawsuit's existence were to leak.

I did put it in its own thread, but it was merged into this one.

Like holy fucking shit. What the fuck?

"unhappy ones"

You should actually read the thread
