💯 ‼️ Very well said and highly accurate.

When a person relies on or invests too much trust in technology rather than leveraging and utilizing it is where the problems start. Technology is an assistive tool, not a substitute for the ability to think and make good choices. Technology can only process information. GIGO... garbage in, garbage out. The "leaders" of technology are hoping we lose sight of that and allow ignorance, apathy, laziness and complacency to replace prudence. What makes it particular dangerous is that all of those attributes are so common.

Really liking MX Linux. I am glad that I decided to give this distro a go. I've got all of my Windoze applications working in Winboat. Micro$lop PowerBI, Excel, Word, Outlook, Adobe Acrobat, Photoshop, etc. Windoze is continuing on the path of become irrelevant by all measurements.

It is difficult for anyone to find something nice to say about Winduhz because it is not a nice OS.

More good news for us Micro$lop digital filth haters. Combined with the damage Steam has already inflicted, this might be just the silver bullet we are hoping pierces the heart of the behemoth Digital Data Vampire from hell. I hope GOG concentrates all or most of their energy on Linux. We need to be done with the Redmond Reprobates and their cancer OS. Now independent, GOG is thinking about publishing games and embracing Linux | TechSpot NVIDIA needs to go out of business. I hope they go bankrupt and all of their stockholders lose everything.

We need either federal legislation or an executive order forbidding the transfer of costs of any kind to communities for any business. Be it AI, manufacturing or anything else, companies that cannot survive without subsidies or consumers living nearby footing the bill should not be allowed to operate. They need to stand on their own or die. No tax breaks or energy breaks for businesses, no free rides. Swim or drown. If their presence increases the cost of energy, they need to absorb the difference so the end result means private property owners pay no more than before they arrived. Any violators have their assets seized.

This is related to that topic.

Maybe the dead RAM sticks that Brother @Rage Set and others I have been seeing randomly is a sign of things to come. In more ways than one, we are living in the bad old days. The good old days are behind us now. I'm glad my sticks are on water. My derrogatory reference to "heating blankets" instead of heat spreaders for the worthless garbage stock RAM heatsinks is finally being recognized.

Do an in-place upgrade to Windows 10 IoT LTSC and don't worry about it. Also don't worry about "updates" because you don't need them. That is a hoax. Start easing yourself into Linux. You'll be glad you did. The hardest part is learning to do without some of the Windoze-only software you enjoy using. You can dual boot to use it when you need to. Most games work fine on Linux and there are CPU and GPU overclocking utilities for Linux that work perfectly. Winduhz matters less today than it ever has before. I'm even using Micro$lop Office, PowerBI and Adobe Photoshop on Linux using Winboat. The only thing I actually need Windoze for is HWBOT benching and that has become such a joke that I don't burn many calories on that anymore. I'm not one of the chosen ones that gets free hardware and special firmware that is not available to the general public, so competing has become a waste of time.

It is really hard, at least for me, to find any contentment with air cooling or AIO after being comfortable with a custom loop for so many years. I tried because it is way cheaper and much easier on the wallet, but I find myself very unhappy with an air cooled CPU or GPU at this point and I normally find that I am ready to be done with the idea within the first day or two. Using an AIO is a slight improvement, but still not nearly as good. The ideal setup would be a clean and enclosed/ventilated area of crawl space or an unfinished room in a cool basement for the chiller with QDC fittings attached to a plate on the floor with a light switch to turn the chiller on and off. You would need an extra pump or two (or just one crazy powerful pond pump) to handle the gravitational effect of the added vertical height of the tubing runs, but it would be worth it.

It is sad to see that the wild variance in silicon quality isn't any better than it has been. The range allowed for sloppy crap from Intel, AMD and NVIDIA is really inexcusable. You no longer get what you pay for. You either get lucky or you get screwed. Nice response from Tony (Northwest Repair) to Jay's video. Jay's Video: Tony's Response:
