MacBook Pro's thermal design... Yes it has been hot outside and been getting as hot as 32'c in the house but i'm seeing throttling as bad a 23% total performance Wednesday (77% reduction) and regularily down to 60% (40% lost) just doing lighter tasks.

Wow that is total BS. I mean maybe if you had it sitting on a table on your deck in the sun or something like that. But just cause it is a bit warm inside should never throttle something like that.

Files not found is always a good sign after updating software.

Why are patio umbrella bases sooooooo god damned expensive!?
Mine is a cantilever style with an X shaped base or you can bolt it to the deck. To use the X shape you need 4 patio stone or something similar to act as weights so 4 bolts it was.

If it's a permanent location there's other options. Get one of these that the umbrella pole slips into the pipe, not too loose. Attach this to the deck, thread a 2-3 foot pipe (longer is better - bottom of table) into this flange plate and drop th umbrella in. Works like a charm, easy to pull the umbrella out on windy days/winter storage. These flange plates are more solid than they look, just need good screws and a solid base to screw into.
