Hello /g/

A buddy got a laptop from a friend. It had a password on it that the friend didn't know. Said buddy is dumber than shit when it comes to computers, so he asked if I could get rid of the password.

After a lot more trouble than I expected, I managed to wipe both the user and administrator password and I plan on just nuking the hard drive and giving it a fresh clean install of Windows 10 (currently 8.1 and about 1.7GB worth of Windows Updates behind).

I did a little snooping around but sadly there's no obvious digital dirt on the previous owner - at least in the usual places - but I want to try looking for more. Steam and Skype are installed, Facebook is in Chrome history, and so on. Having physical access to the laptop, should I try to to gain access to any of these accounts/services/etc? Making some changes to M$'s Secure Account Manager files is simple stuff, I could use a challenge.

Please note that I'm not doing it for any nefarious reasons. I have some formal IT training and eventually will pursue that career, in the meantime I'm only doing things like this to see if I can.

Alright /g/ I need some advice. No memes please and amdfags need not apply. My current processor is an i5 4670k. It's currently clocked at 3.5 and I noticed that the usage goes to 90-100 frequently. I was thinking of buying a motherboard and overclocking to 4-4.3 if possible. Is it worth it to buy a motherboard or buy a new processor? I play games that are cpu intensive from time to time so it would help a little I guess. I currently have my eye on an asrock Z97 EXTREME4. My current board is an h97 so overclocking isn't an option on that. Any advice?

Is it literally as simple as throwing some code up on github?

>>It's 2070-something
>>You're in your 80s.
>>medical tech designed for flesh-ware can keep you alive and in decent shape until you 110s.
>>But you're also fast approaching the dead zone in terms of age.
>>Get offered a chance to for prosthesis to go 60-80% cyborg.
>>This prosthesis would guarantee your life until your 140s
>>This doesn't make you immortal but it's give you a chance to become immortal because you'll live to see 2217 and have access to that tech
>>The prosthesis of 2070 used to extend your age is new but rapidly maturing tech.
>>You choose to undergo life extending prosthesis (it's easier to do when you're younger)
>>You make it to 2217
>>You get to enjoy a world so advance that it might as well be magic to you 2017 mindset
>>You got to live to virtual reality sad panda and pornhub with matrix-like deep dive immersion
>>all around you people are slowly transitioning to ageless gods
>>But your goddamn physical body is going to shit.
>>the tech to maintain your prosthetic parts is obsolete
>>you can't get new prosthesis because the procedure is mad expensive for someone your age/physical state
>>you cant just print/manufacture the parts or tools you need for your prosthesis because of draconian corporate laws protecting hardware patents
>you can't upload your kind to the net because he ports in your brain don't support it
>>you can't update your parts because the medical user agreement for your prosthesis forbids it
>>prothesis conglomerates want you to pay for a new body
>>so get ready for a 100 years of Japanese salary man type servitude to pay for your new prosthesis (that will come with other strings attached that could theoritically enslave you for 300 years or more) OR die

When the time comes to go cyborg go with open source hardware that you can actually own and modify however you want
Don't shoot yourself in the foot guys, I actually like most of you on here
