2019-06-11 at 11:46 AM UTC in "White" is racist, use "Person of lacking colour"I think those are REAL Africans. Those ones who are so black they're almost a shiny black. Their eyes and teeth are white as polished ivory, but their skin is blacker than you'd even think black could get.

Originally posted by HikikomoriYume0 What is your secret to long lasting hard drives?
Your average hard drive is only rated for 5,000 hours. But you can extend the life by not moving or disturbing it. If you disturb its balance, that puts minute amounts of stress on the read/write arm, causing damage, and certain sectors/clusters to fail. Also, you want a dry environment. Too much moisture can get in the drive and cause damage to the platter. Another way to extend the life significantly is to use the Windows ChkDsk to write off/mark off bad sectors, so the system won't use them. -

Originally posted by HikikomoriYume0 I'm suspicious of that … wouldn't dust build up and clog the psu/cooling?
That's how my psu in my 2008 build died on me I assume.
Also why keep a monitor running nonstop like that when you can just turn it off while you're not using it.
I remove the accumulated dust from the vent occasionally. Never needed to power off for that. It's actually much better never to turn your device off. When you turn your device on and off frequently, that puts stress on the circuits, leading to degradation. When you never turn the device off, the circuits stay in a continual state, which makes them last three or four times longer than otherwise. Stuff they don't teach you in Tech 101.

How often do you use it, what types of tasks do you run daily.
You must not be much of a computer user beyond web browsing.
My monitor, a Sceptre 14" LCD has been powered on continuously since 1995 without issue. My IBM ThinkCentre, with a 80GB hard drive, has been powered on since 2005 without issue. I use it for everything, not only web browsing. Gaming, graphics editing, audio editing, networking... -

Yep. An $800 door of thick wood. Went right through the center of it. Chunks of wood and splintered panels and glass smashed, and the landlord ended up replacing it the very next day, without even questioning me what happened. -
2019-06-10 at 7:11 PM UTC in Why is Windows XP so fucking lightning fast but Windows 10 is absolute garbage?I like first-person action games which have a "cartoonish quality", like No One Lives Forever, or Quake. Right now, I'm playing Soldier of Fortune.
