New Vegas was fun

so my brother asked me to see why his ps4 is running loud and hot and his smoking had the intake fans clogged with dust and tar buildup

Wow

Don't smoke inside

Way to sleuth though miso

just nasty how smoking builds up like that in electronics and why I would never smoke

You wanna buy my wazer wifle

Yeah smoking is terrible. I've been at it for ten years

I smoke, but I run massive filtration systems in my home-office.

@Mr.McKinley sounds neat

In winter I tend to smoke less from not wanting to be so cold since i go outside. But, I also wear more layers so

It was a high initial cost-outlay, but low long-term replacement expenditures.

may have to a tear down and just wipe it all clean though, still running a little warm

That may not even be sufficient if the gunk built up for too long.

If he still smokes inside it won't help much

would use an antistatic cleaner if I do

That would improve the lower lifespan due to long-term overheating though. The damage may have already been done.

wouldn't*

won't stop it but hopefully slow down it collecting again

ya, but I get to tear it apart and see it's insides

Fair point

just got to find my torx8h security screw driver first, lol

got a board cleaner as well

Is it a hobby or profession for you @Misomania

mostly fun

My brother is like that. Always played with Lego's as a kid, drew mechanical things, ended up taking shit apart and putting it back together

Tbh I am a little bugged still by the consistent conspiracy theory rhetoric

Tim said in a video today that the simple answer is usually true

I never agreed with that when it's used to reference extremely complex issues

Occams razor works in day to day life but not the largest scale of details

then again the saying to never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupity always annoyed me. Why can't it be both?

It should be

I mean

Don't assume evil intent or incompetence to suit your worldview

Figure it out and get used to saying "not enough information"

Occams razor would suggest a lot of shit that mainstream doesn't believe in

it's the basis of the left feeding on itself

It's used to suit their agendas

and the formation of echo chambers

Yeah that is pretty scary

Glad I found a place that is founded on opposition to echo chambers and tribes
