There is a clear possibility of a serious error at the CPU level and yet just because it's very rare to be met it isn't being solved

why do people rely on linux? and I just randomly picked a source file, in this case cpu.c

Good morning /g/. Troubleshooting a computer for family and looking for advice/confirmation of my belief of what's wrong.

Background on the computer:
>given to family member by their work site's tech office for use in a specialized 'augmented rality sandbox' thing.
>has to meet certain specifications according to the brains over at UC Davis
>Davis recommends the following:
I5 or I7 clocked at least aroud 3GHz
GTX 1060 or better
Current release of 64-bit version of Linux Mint with Mate desktop
Vendor supplied graphics drivers
20gb hard drive
and 2gb ram minimum.
>seems simple enough.
>finally get the desktop this morning.
>see pic related


Well.. this is going to be interesting. And I will share it all with you as it unfolds.

Anyway, the main issue is, about 7 months ago there was a lightning storm that caused a power surge, and prior to that the computer worked, they were simply working out the kinks in the hardware of the sandbox... after that the computer wouldn't boot properly and would black screen, or sometimes get stuck on the mint leaf. And the Tech department has so far not even bothered to work on the computer.. so it got handed off to me.

>Request:
Get it to boot up properly.

>my initial diagnosis:
Hard drive's probably broke.

Why doesn't c++ standard comitee make a support for unicode. I wouldn't demand it everywhere. Just one lib or something

That's the MD5 hash of a 11 letter all-lowercase english-alphabets-only string. If you cannot write a program to find the string in under 5 minutes, you're worse than me, a Pajeet.

When I want to convert tracks from FLAC to e.g. 320kbps mp3 in Foobar2000, the metadata is not saved. It's just exporting as an mp3 file with no metadata etc attached. Is there something I can do about this?

One simple trick and my Thinkpad x220 got cooler by over 10 degrees Celsius. Am I blowing in the right direction? How are you cooling your laptops under load? Can this damage my internal fan?

So let me get this straight.

Almost every damn software in linux downloads tens of other dependencies.

You are supposed to trust the official repos, because ? Noone fucking checks the code/updates for every piece of software every day.

If NSA obfuscated some backdoor into some widely used dependency one day in one of the updates noone would notice for decades.


Enjoy the botnet.

USB Type C is the worst meme shit to come out of the normie generation of technology.

Does your port support Thunderbolt, USB 3, USB 3.1, can it take in power, can it output via Display Port? Who the fuck knows.

Does your wire have a 56k resistor? If it doesn't your device is fucking destroyed.

You know all that shit that works with Micro USB? It's fucking worthless now. You want to use your typical common sense Type A wall plug? Nope, because not only does Type C change the reviving port, but it makes it the same on both fucking ends unless you get some chink USB Type A to C, which will fry your shit btw.

I have two (non apple) Type C devices and I despise both of them. Fucking hate this shit with a passion.

I would literally rather have a lightning port, at least it is fucking standardized and compatible with shit.
