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

At least that is what I hope this is

For example though, if the simplest answer is probably true, then the earth is flat

On the other hand from another perspective, if NASA says it's a globe, then go with it because lying is complex

But then we rely on many complex understandings which goes against occams razor

I never liked it even as a kid

your talking about people that say 2+2=5 and that 4-2=2 in the same breath though

Bad example then

somehow they can see stuff that is opposed to each other and see it as supporting their desired outcome

So if someone says the Nazis did it, and the Nazis say they didn't, which one is simpler and thus more right due to occams razor

basic cleaning done, fan is MUCH quieter now

I suppose I am struggling to find a belief held by the same group that uses it and doesn't in another case

The point is to say that "the simplest answer is likely true" just isn't true

It's always used in reference to complex issues

It's fair to use occams razor like "I can't find my keys. Maybe the aliens took them? No, that's too unlikely and complex"
