The original Far Side Cow Tools Cartoon by Gary Larson. A cow stands on its hind legs behind a table, staring blankly at the viewer from behind its heavy brow ridge. On the table are four crudely made tools: a lump, a lump with an offset crooked handle, a long stick with hooked prongs at the end, and a crude handsaw with irregular teeth. In the background a barn sits on a hill. Caption reads, "Cow tools."

"Microsoft is attempting to restrict audio settings to people with Windows 11 Licenses" is some shit you'd hear Linux users making up and then getting laughed at because its Too Ridiculous but here we are, I guess.

Repaste worked! 20c cooler. It had its motherboard replaced after it failed by the Dell Out Of Warranty Service center (a month after the warranty expired, of course), and they did a shit job. They somehow managed to miss an entire thermal pad and barely got any paste on the CPU/GPU dies.

A photo of the CPU and GPU of a laptop with the heatsink removed. There's hardly any paste on the chips while it's caked onto the heatsink.

My laptop was running hot, so I decided to repaste it. Got the heatsink off and. wow. Thanks, Dell Out Of Warranty Service Center. Really impeccable work you guys are doing over there.
