Everyone is sending me that video of Bad Apple! played on the Windows task manager on a Threadripper 3990X, but I'm 99% sure it's fake and I ain't retweeting it, sorry. You do Bad Apple!, you do it for real, no cheating. (Insert fake Chinese goods joke here.)

Evidence: all the CPU usage percentages are 100% 77% 39% 0%, yet the pixel values vary more smoothly. It's possible (certain, really) the video was sped up and temporally blended, but this is the case even during steady frames (like this one). So it's clearly edited.pic.twitter.com/6JzBYMoZeR

(Unless the Windows task manager somehow quantizes usage numbers to those 4 yet not the cell brightness, which I highly doubt).
@winocm want to make a *real* version of this? :-)5 replies 1 retweet 35 likesShow this thread -

Hector Martin @marcan42Whoever faked that Bad Apple!! task manager video didn't even do a good job. There are a bunch of glitches, including this totally static segment halfway through that was supposed to be about one second of pure white, but ended up with bands including 5 shades of "77%". Faaaaake. pic.twitter.com/zvD5RjopKTShow this thread1 reply 0 retweets 4 likesShow this thread -

2:20sarah@ganbaranai @winocmWell, I got it running for the most part. Here’s Bad Apple on taskmgr on a very large computer. SMT had to be disabled to ensure that the image displays properly as the kernel scheduler handler those logical threads differently than physical cores. pic.twitter.com/QMchANZy9WShow this thread2 replies 6 retweets 26 likesShow this thread -
A script that generates CPU load on each of the cores in time with the video. It doesn't look as perfect as the fake video, but it works. I think it can be improved a bit too.
Loading seems to be taking a while.
