Zed: The Fastest AI Code Editor
> (2019 Intel MBP)
I used to have one of these and recently got an M1 Max machine - the performance boost is seriously incredible.
The throttling on those late-game intel macs is hardcore - at one point I downloaded Hot[1], which is a menu bar app that shows you when you're being throttled. It was literally all the time that the system was slowing itself down due to heat. I eventually just uninstalled it because it was a constant source of frustration to know I was only ever getting 50% performance out of my expensive dev laptop.

- Does anyone know what app I have to get or what setting to change to get my M1 MBA to show its temp on the top bar?

ELI5: Why do computers get so enragingly slow after just a few years?
iMacs are sensitive and unusable if the room/environment temperature goes up 1-2 degrees. Once an iMac reaches temperatures that exceed its cooling capabilities, it will reduce the Scheduler Limit. This OS protection slows your computer down to a % of its actual performance. It's designed to reduce load down to a level that the computer can cope with, given its temperature situation. A tool called Hot will reveal the current scheduler limit, and you'll be able to verify this is the problem.

I just bought a MacBook air M1 but I faced a temperature problem
Use https://github.com/macmade/Hot to read temps instead. I don’t trust cleanmymac.

I was a MacOS hater until...
The Hot . app is great for showing how hot or cold my laptop is running, and whether it has throttled.
