I still have my dad’s old computer jacks for lifting up the computer to flush the memory fluid. Computers aren’t built the same they used to be.
Made me livin changin the RAM oil on laptops in Silicon Valley.
That’s why you gotta go electric. There are fewer moving parts therefore no oil!
Electric just ain’t the same. Zoomers will never know the power of hearing your CPU revving in high gear during those intense Quake matches.
The threadripper CPUs actually did come with a torque wrench to tighten down the retention plate.
Oh wow, what a neat piece of kit!
That is a Torx (a brand name) wrench, not a torque wrench.
Torx is a proprietary driver shape for fasteners.
A torque wrench is a regular wrench but it has a mechanism inside that measures how much torque is applied and clicks when an adjustable threshold is passed, so you know exactly how tight the fastener is.
Actually, it is a Torx torque wrench. They came with Threadripper CPUs because they had a very specific torque specification. It’s why the handle looks so odd.
Huh, no shit. Never seen one so tiny.
It’s both! I’ve used one many times before, it does indeed click at a specific torque. It also has a Torx bit in it.
Unfortunately, the bit is glued in there, so neither the bit nor the torque driver can be reused for anything. It’s just a wasteful gimmick.
What am I watching? What am I reading? What the fuck? O.O
nah that’s the Demon Core-i9
Or maybe they’re just tickling the tail of a sleeping snapdragon.
I often think I’m not that smart with computers.
Then I see shit like this and remind myself there’s a whole category of people way dumber.
I’m convinced that the people making these stock photos are making them ridiculous for shits and giggles
Holy fuck, even if you know nothing about tech, you have to see this is wrong lol
I almost had an aneurysm trying to parse that title until I saw the picture + channel name.
I had an aneurysm looking at this picture until I saw the post title and channel name.
I can hear it snapping
