All through out the hospital system things must be done one way as per the federal government.

The good news is that the thermal throttling is controlled by the firmware of the NVMe drive and not by Windows. It is likely because of this that Windows behaved erratically, as the OS relies on quick reads and writes to be responsive. Once those IOPS drop sharply due to the thermal throttle, user experience goes from smooth to choppy real quick.

That does depend on where you live, of course.

Your red button may only do that. Mine will bring the resus team.

That might just depend where you are.

Where I live, the red button will call you a code- source, very crusty old nurse

The NP screwed up. The nurse call button is the nurse call no matter what color it is. The red switch on the wall sends a signal to they nursing station that requires attention fight now. It does not Sound a siren in the hospital. I find your story funny but untrue. I worked on these systems for twenty years as a hospital engineer along with everything else to keep the hospital running smoothly.

Push the button, Kronk!

WRONG BUTTTTOOONNNNNN!!!

For those of us who don’t work in hospitals: what’s the difference? I thought that “code” just meant “rapid response”?

This honestly happens all the time, especially in the emergency department. It's nbd. Typically more funny than anything

I mean, this is not as bad as the time I really had to shit when I was at another office in another building. I was not familiar with the layout at all. So while I was frantically looking for a bathroom I pushed open an emergency exit door and the siren blasted through out the quiet office, and everyone turned towards me and saw the moron who did this. It was a big office so there were like 100 people staring at me like who is this idiot.

For that brief moment my urge to poo went away.

If it makes you feel better, you didn’t call a code. That button actually is for a rapid response team. The blue button is for a code team.

Edit: at every hospital I’ve been to, it like like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/nursing/comments/5o7hrs/i_posted_about_my_pt_pushing_the_code_blue_button/

Years ago at the dialysis clinic I worked at we had a brand new charge nurse, fresh graduate with zero prior clinical experience, doing rounds on the patients. She gets to the last patient in the row and all of a sudden I hear her screaming bloody murder "CALL A CODE! CODE BLUE! HELP!". So everyone on the floor scrambles to grab the crash cart, hit the alarm, and call the paramedics. As I run up to the poor guy, not only is he breathing, but he's fully sat up in his chair and is yelling at the CN about waking him up from his nap. Apparently she just saw his eyes were closed and when he didn't immediately arouse from saying his name once she freaked out and thought he was dead, didn't even try a sternal rub or shake him awake. The medics arrived before we could call them off and they were much less understanding than OP's co-workers lol

Hmm. If this were Grey's Anatomy, you'd find yourself assigned to special observation duty of that patient while having to study their case file until you could explain how they got halfway off the bed. But you'd do such a good job of it that you'd be drafted as assistant to the chief of neuro and in three years you and that nurse would designing a new handheld gadget to measure CNS activity in coma patients.

I also don't understand, I'm using a sandwich style layout on my PC and my M2 drive is behind the mobo. This means it's sandwiched between all my hottest PC components. No thermal pad. It's been doing fine for the past 5 or so years.

Yeah after he fixed a lot of the wording to this post I got it. Thank you though.

NVME is a type of storage drive (interface). Basically OP hadn’t given them enough cooling due to the plastic and the drives were throttling back read/write speeds/latency

Brilliant! I had not considered this.

Using a computer everyday is different than actually being familiar with its hardware

In general the laptop does a good job at cooling, I ALWAYS log HWInfo after each session (except NVMe which I guess I'll start doing) on all my computers and they all stay pretty cool, well below the respective thermal maxes

That's painful

I did something similar (except it wasn't my fault)I discovered/executed a task that was bugged and took down the entire network at my old job. Woops

Nearly 40 years in IT and coding, I've seen some real boners... most happen when people are tired.

I've done some incredibly stupid stuff while tired... a few years ago I wiped out an entire server and 5 months of my work. Turns out my backups were all bad.

Haha no worries. Yeah luckily neither of us did anything intensive. I booted it up and did a small Windowa update and an undervolt but was getting annoyed by the slowness and stopped undervolting.

Had she played a game, they probably would have either died or shaved some life off of them

I took the film off yesterday and it ran normal and in a fashion one would expect. No micro-stutters or slowness

Working at Geeksquad doesn't make you a computer nerd.
