There's absolutely nothing unethical about blocking internet ads. Prove me wrong.

Hey, first up, my knowledge in computers is limited.

I bought a computer from a company 8 months ago. Has a i7 6700k cpu in it.

Everything has run perfectly since today. This morning I booted it up, and the fans were loud. I loaded my usual apps. But after about 10 minutes, the fans wouldn't slow down, so I checked an app, image related. said my cpu was 94 Degrees.

I turned off my computer immediately. I turned it back on, I got the message "cpu over temperature error" press f1 to continue.

The menu said my cpu was 89 Degrees Celcius.

Turned off computer once again. Removed power cord. Started to clean the machine. I noticed that the CPU fan was cool, but the metal part that attaches to the cpu was really hot.

I didn't remove any core pieces, just the removable side cases, and dust frames.

Started computer once again. Check temperature. .47 Degrees. Woo, that must have been it. Watch for 20 minutes, just to see if theres any difference in temperature. No change. Load Chrome. Spike of temperature 93 Degrees. Close Chrome. still 93 Degrees. Has been for the past 15 minutes as I'm writing this.

People have been telling me, might be the Cooler, might be the CPU, might be the normal temperature for an i7, might be a virus.
I actually have no clue.

I have 24 months warranty.
Only 8 months have passed.

I hate "open sores" faggots

Closed source is better because anyone who has worked on highly complicated code knows that as soon as you start letting amateurs fuck with your code, it makes your life harder. Good projects are complicated beyond anything most of us could possibly contribute to, so why bother to make it open source?

It's closed source because they want it to work. It's not closed source because of some massive conspiracy. It's not close source so the dev can sell it via patreon. It's not closed source because he stole code from someone.

Good projects are closed source because they are complicated beyond what most people could possibly contribute to, and opening it up to everyone with a computer to contribute to is only going to make it worse, not better.

I know that nobody understands this, or wants to understand it, because it's the giant circlejerk that the dev is hiding something, but he's not. I know none of you will apologize when someday, as promised, the code is actually opened up and everyone sees that there's nothing to hide.

So, now that Windows is officially malware in every sense of the word, both literally and figuratively, which Linux distro does /g/ recommend switching to?

Today, May 12th 2017, WikiLeaks publishes "AfterMidnight" and "Assassin", two CIA malware frameworks for the Microsoft Windows platform.

>"AfterMidnight" allows operators to dynamically load and execute malware payloads on a target machine. The main controller disguises as a self-persisting Windows Service DLL and provides secure execution of "Gremlins" via a HTTPS based Listening Post (LP) system called "Octopus". Once installed on a target machine AM will call back to a configured LP on a configurable schedule, checking to see if there is a new plan for it to execute. If there is, it downloads and stores all needed components before loading all new gremlins in memory. "Gremlins" are small AM payloads that are meant to run hidden on the target and either subvert the functionality of targeted software, survey the target (including data exfiltration) or provide internal services for other gremlins. The special payload "AlphaGremlin" even has a custom script language which allows operators to schedule custom tasks to be executed on the target machine.

>"Assassin" is a similar kind of malware; it is an automated implant that provides a simple collection platform on remote computers running the Microsoft Windows operating system. Once the tool is installed on the target, the implant is run within a Windows service process. "Assassin" (just like "AfterMidnight") will then periodically beacon to its configured listening post(s) to request tasking and deliver results. Communication occurs over one or more transport protocols as configured before or during deployment. The "Assassin" C2 (Command and Control) and LP (Listening Post) subsystems are referred to collectively as" The Gibson" and allow operators to perform specific tasks on an infected target..

The worst ransomware in history is due to Microsoft's incompetence. People will die because they won't be able to call cops, get surgeries, get 911 etc.

I think it's fair to ask: will this incident kill Microsoft and kill Windows?
