You people are nuts.
That's all I have to say. 😕

...in the motherboard, in the CPU or in the memory.

Funny, because I get tons of useless MCEs in my dmesg spewing out before my workstation locks up hard. 😕
Anyway, not sure if I want to waste money trying to save my Sandy Bridge-era Xeon workstation. Even if it cost me $9k back then. Especially when it's hard to determine if the fault lies...

Windows or Linux?
If Linux, check dmesg if there are any MCEs. It rarely but might just sometimes drop a hint on what the cause may be.
Not sure what is the equivalent log to look for in Windows Event Viewer.

Are you done fear-mongering?
Recall will not even activate if Windows is installed on a computer that lacks an NPU.

The result: throwing away a perfectly working computer or paying a huge sum of money to the OEM or a third-party service centre for repairs if it's out of warranty, and there's no guarantee of parts availability if it's an old or discontinued model.
Bring back dedicated power buttons and boards!

Which means the computer can no longer be turned on anymore.
And good luck trying to find which pins to short on the motherboard's keyboard connector. That is, if it's even possible to short pins that are so fine and densely packed together on the connector.

Nice forest. You plan on buying it? 🤔

Some have that kind of control over their ears and can wriggle them on demand.
Others cannot.
Interesting fact: Rowan Atkinson can.

Still much better than a desktop Linux evangelist. 🙄

Didn't know having only one Chromebook which gets used semi-regularly counts as evangelism.
Perhaps Google should send down some Pixels as a gift. Makes it more worth the effort to evangelise. 💰

Finally, ChromeOS has been Google's gateway into the US education sector.
If they still decide to kill it like they did with the very successful Google Cloud Print, then...🙄

Google also publicly publishes all Chromebooks and Chromeboxes' AUE in support.google.com/chrome/a/ans...
Many of the newer devices released in the last two years will get ChromeOS updates up till around 2032 to 2034.

No need to believe me; the numbers speak for themselves.
ChromeOS was first released in 2011. And it's 2024 now. That's 13 years of life. Far longer than most of the projects Google has ever allowed to live before killing them off.

I think people should stop taking games seriously.

ChromeOS is almost perfect for a lightweight purpose-built computer.
Futhermore, Chromebooks now get 10 years of official ChromeOS support. Most people will probably have wrecked their computers by then from abuse or wear and tear.

Beta updates like Insider channel and "Get updates as soon as they are ready" in Windows are disabled by default for a reason.
Anyone who turns them on and complains about them deserves what they get. 🙄

so, 38C to 43C. Big deal.
Countries like India and China have annual hot spells worse than this.

Open the laptop.
Remove the screen and lid. Toss it.
Disconnect the trackpad from the motherboard
Put the lidless, display-less laptop under a keyboard stand
Put external keyboard on keyboard stand
Connect laptop to a monitor.
You now have a keyboard PC.

Half an hour only?
Try saying that after three hours...

Mastodon is a complete joke.
Even now I don't understand how its federation works, and how to use one handle in one Mastodon server to chat with other Mastodon servers and see feeds from there.
Centralization has its purpose and place.

The issue with programming is seldom about the language. It's *how* to solve a problem or need with the methods and classes available in the language.
I can rattle off some basic classes, functions and methods in Java but ask me to put them in a coherent program and I will stare blankly at the IDE.

Dotmatrix printers are still used in many industries.
Especially for carbon-copy paper printing. Totally indispensable.

Put the card in a laptop and give it a free upgrade to 802.11be.
No sense in leaving a working (assumption) Wifi card lying around unused.

Good thing I compiled ffmpeg *without* ffplay.

This is just weird. M2 PCIe Wifi cards are not supposed to do that.
Unless. just maybe, possibly, the card is problematic.

What is more interesting is why an M2 PCie WiFi card is blocking a board from POSTing.
It's not supposed to.

For carbs, have a slice or two of multigrain bread or chomp on a snack pack of multigrain crackers. 👍

There is enough natural and added sodium in practically all of today's food to last several lifetimes.
And eating healthy does not mean giving up on salt. All vegetables and meat, even fresh ones, contain sodium. Sodium is the one thing in the world that is almost impossible to be lacking in.

Sure, if it's something taken in minimal quantities very occasionally. Like once every two weeks occasional.

Will love to experiment with ARM64 on Macs.
Unfortunately, my bank balance won't allow me to spend that kind of money on a setup that is only good for 7 years of official hardware and OS support. 💸

And also extremely unhealthy, calorie-loaded, fat-loaded and salt-loaded.
