    Abstract: The disclosed computing device may include electronic components, at least one of which is a processor. The computing device may also include a heat sink thermally coupled to the electronic components, as well as a temperature sensor that determines the current temperature inside the computing device. The computing device may further include a controller. The processor may generate a load schedule for the electronic components based on the current temperature inside the computing device. This load schedule ensures that a maximum temperature for the heat sink is not exceeded even when the total system power load exceeds, for a short period of time, the maximum sustainable power level the heat sink can dissipate. The controller may then load the electronic components according to the generated load schedule. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include (i) receiving, by a camera system that includes at least one camera, input from a user instructing the camera system to adjust a framing of the camera, (ii) directing, by the camera system, the camera to adjust the framing, (iii) determining a predicted modified camera frame that approximates an actual modified camera frame predicted to result from directing the camera to adjust the framing, (iv) displaying, before completely receiving visual data that results from the actual modified camera frame from the camera, the predicted modified camera frame to the user, (v) receiving the visual data including the actual modified camera frame from the camera after the camera adjusts the camera frame, and (vi) displaying the actual modified camera frame to the user. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
