What Pisses You Off?

Right now today, almost everything...

I've been running Win 10 Pro since they offered it for free on all of my personal systems. Some annoying crap that happens but other than that, no crashes, no sound card or video issues.

Everything I buy is Dell, period. Nvidia video card.

If you can swing it when you get a new home system, Go for the Pro version. The home versions have always sucked period from XP up.

Windows should release a single OS version for all machines, like Apple does.

I'll take a new OS by a new company, creating some actual competition.

• Brazil has another worst year for Amazon forest depletion,

  http://cbsnews.com/news/brazil-jair-bolsanaro-amazon-fires-lie-rainforest-burning/

  Fires currently surging in the Amazon rainforest could be even more devastating than last year's, but Brazil's government is denying they even exist. On Tuesday, President Jair Bolsonaro called the fires a "lie" — as photos and videos from the region show the forest burning.
  
  Fires in the Amazon for the month of August hit a nine-year high in 2019 — but this month appears to be on track to top the record once again.

• India has proposed mining in their forests displacing indiginous people,

  Opposition parties and civil groups in India have criticized the government’s proposed changes to the Environment Impact Assessment (EIA), a legal framework that assesses the effects of development projects on the environment.
  
  The government wants to do away with mandatory environment clearance for such projects.
  
  “The EIA 2020 draft is a disaster. It seeks to silence the voice of communities who will be directly impacted by the environmental degradation it unleashes,”

• Cameroon decrees opening up their forests to logging.

  http://afrik21.africa/en/cameroon-government-approves-industrial-exploitation-of-ebo-forest/

  The NGO Greenpeace Africa and the Banen people denounce once again, the Cameroonian government's plan to cut down trees in the Ebo forest, located in the Littoral region. The people decried that in a statement published on July 23, 2020. Ignoring previous warnings from the NGO and local communities, senior government officials have approved the opening of 68,385 hectares of virgin forest to logging.

• There's an oil slick in Mauritius,

  http://reuters.com/article/us-mauritius-environment/massive-poisonous-shock-scientists-fear-lasting-impact-from-mauritius-oil-spill-idUSKCN2592Z6

  Some corals have lived for centuries at the fringes of Mauritius. Now smothered for days in heavy fuel oil spilled from a wrecked Japanese tanker nearby, parts of those reefs may be in trouble.
  
  The full impact of the toxic spill is still unfolding, scientists say. As the Indian Ocean island’s residents scramble to mop up the oil slicks and clumps, they are seeing dead eels and fish floating in the water, as fuel-soaked seabirds limp onto shore.

Wait! Greenpeace helped to overturn the Cameroon Forest decree.

http://afrik21.africa/en/cameroon-ebo-rainforest-logging-project-cancelled/

The Cameroonian Head of State Paul Biya has heard the many calls from NGOs (non-governmental organization) and the Banen community for the protection of the Ebo Forest, one of the few remaining pristine woodlands on the planet, located between the Central and Littoral regions of Cameroon. In a communiqué issued on August 11, 2020 by the Secretary General at the Prime Minister’s Office, it is recorded that the Head of Government, Joseph Dion Ngute, on August 6, 2020, cancelled the decree by which he had authorized the project to exploit 68,385 hectares of forest in the Ebo Massif. The Prime Minister reversed his decision “on very high instructions from the President of the Republic, Paul Biya”.

This instruction from the Head of State is a response to the concerns of local populations and nature conservation NGOs, including Greenpeace, which had denounced the Prime Minister’s previous decision, promising to do everything possible to obtain its annulment.

... and the kids at extinction rebellion are throwing paint at buildings

http://leftfootforward.org/2020/07/new-climate-crisis-party-causes-anger-after-targeting-environmental-groups-with-paint/

Beyond Politics (BP) – set up in June by senior figures in XR – targeted NGOs including Greenpeace, Amnesty and Friends of the Earth on Tuesday, accusing them of not being radical enough.

Arriving at their offices, they poured bright pink paint over walls and floors, before plastering them with letters demanding the organisations wrote to all their members, urging them to ‘rise up against the government’.

The co-ordinator of Eastbourne Friends of the Earth (FoE) wrote on Twitter: “Oh dear…behaving like utter twats. Casual vandalism like this solves absolutely nothing & is a gross insult to the many campaigners, staff & volunteers, within [FoE] who work tirelessly in all sorts of ways to secure effective #ClimateAction. #BeyondSense.”

It's called using some canned air when you open it up and cleaning out the dust every so often.

It's called a PM (Preventative maintenance)


I am really hard on computers, I do this for a living.

I always do that after every Summer, as do to the heat, most of the thermal paste gets completely dryed up and tend to get hard as concrete. Specially on my old laptops.

My Desktop, on the other hand, uses a huge water-cooling system.



It's one of those new generation Cooler Master cooling systems.
Very quiet, but also very powerful. I have it running up with a 4.7Ghz i7 CPU and a NVIDIA 1060 6GB GTX.

That is the machine I primarly use for serious Flight Simulation (long-haul flights with traffic and real-time weather and sceneries/airports) and 4K related stuff.
