PTM7950 40x80x0.2mm, after pasted

Think I have used more than the size of cpu and gpu, but since there was some last thermal paste I was on the plastic die?? Idk, as you can see my cpu and gpu are small squares, even tho have applied on that black die for safety idk!!

Have I done it right or should have just pasted on metalic die?

Temps -CPU- 102°C to 45° normal and below 78 while gaming fortnight,

GPU - 64 while gaming same before the paste

Never buy an HP Prebuilt.

I had 4 HP prebuilts come in this week, and there was multitudes of issues, all of them had faulty RAM. This is a continuous thing i see happen with HP. RIP 64gb's of DDR5.

Almost died after seeing this

Idk if this is hardware gore but I think it counts. My parents did some renovations in the TV room. Apparently they mutilated the humidity cables too.

Crash with my MBP 64GB RAM

I left in my car with my Macbook Pro (16" M1 Max 64GB RAM and a fully updated processor) on the roof, and then it fell, ending up under the wheels of another car. Luckily I have an Apple Car, and when I took it to an Apple Store, I thought they would replace it, but instead they analyzed it and told me it would take 10 days to order all the replacement parts (exactly everything because it was bent) and then they would repair it. And so I wonder, is it possible that they have such an old and particular configuration in stock? It was a configuration ordered from the site and paid over $5,000, I can't believe it's still in stock.

If you want it done right, do it yourself.

My H(inge) P(roblems) Envy X360 randomly broke on me. Needed a fix, quick. Fix it quick I did. It went from an X360 to an X340 (it can't fold all the way out now) but I never used tablet mode anyways.

Not sure if it belongs here, but.

-Install warning lights.

-But we don't even have a generator here, it's just a fence, a pit and a...

-Don't give a single damn, do it!

Could also easily be turned into electric fence if needed, I guess.

My colleges cromebooks

For context we have addressed our concerns about these batteries (all of them are like this) and been told and I quote “these are ok” and apparently IT thinks they are safe to use still. THE KEYBOARDS ARR LITERALLY LIFTING and some of the batteries have caused several trackpads to stop working….
