If I was going to ship/travel with a PC I'd take it apart. Cooler off, and GPU removed and in its own box. Anything that could put strain on parts if not handled properly. Would probably leave the ram in but power connectors would be all detached.

But it wasn't "only" i7s and wasn't only those who overclocked. I'm not bashing Intel, like I said I have a 14700k and am not unhappy with it at all, but the problems were evident right out of the box last year with no overclocking and an oversized AIO.

Because that's a your national security and classified programs kept secret from America's enemies. They can't pass an audit because that would reveal the most highly classified programs keeping Americans safe. That's what Musk is fucking with here, your ability to defend yourself from foreign threats. America has made more than a few enemies over the years. Better hope they don't take it too far, that's a dangerous game to play with a military that currently can't be matched. That might not be the case once Musk is done.

Genuine question here don’t mean to be stupid. Why can’t you hot rod a bunch of crappy old laptops for lots of cheap cpu power?
Posted by Just-a-lump-of-chees@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 172 comments
Commentator-X@reddit
You can do this it's just the application of such a setup requires custom code with limited use cases. You wouldn't be able to run normal programs or games, every program would need to be optimized for parallel processing and some code like games just wouldn't work without a massive overhaul of the codebase, they're just not designed in a way that would benefit from the extra threads. There was a project a while back that took a bunch of raspberry pis and created a cluster that could do certain complex equations but iirc it was only useful for a very limited set of computations.

I think this is a big part of it. They have to assume you're going to fill every plug on that board at some point which starts to add up. Plus they're probably adding 20% too just because you'd never want your psu to be running at 90%+ all the time.
Lost a good offshore person because of a VP's temper tantrum
Posted by weasel2k@reddit | sysadmin | View on Reddit | 257 comments
Commentator-X@reddit
Depending on how your org works, I'd be emailing my boss cc'ing my boss' boss and his ... All the way up to and including the CIO explaining how much of a loss to the company it is to have to train someone new when the person who was already trained didn't actually do anything wrong besides bruise someones ego. That kind of behavior could cost the company millions down the road if not addressed. Might not go anywhere but at least there's a paper trail of that VP making ridiculous demands and hot headed decisions. But thats only if an email like that isn't going to get myself in hot water, kinda depends on the mgmt structure.

It's the edges that do it. Hit it in the centre and it's tough as nails, tap the edge and it spiderwebs. Corners even more so. And it also happens over time. Micro fractures from a light hit here and there might not break it right away, but over time those micro fractures expand until the whole panel hits a breaking point and just explodes, but again, it's the edges that are far more fragile than the centre of the panel.

You said theres no masd it's because there was no multimillion dollar cannabis corporations. If you're trying to suggest it wasnt widely available and used until recently I've got news for ya. I wasnt alive back then but the 60s were wild, 70s too. I was too young to remember the 80s but I know from experience in the 90s cannabis was widely used and available and not much has changed. There were probably more people drunk and stoned drivers on the road back then compared to now.
