Cable management and cleaning up dust

I've been getting some random black screens for some time now and decided to clean my case thoroughly.
I have been vacuuming my case like once 2 weeks but after a closer inspection of the insides with a flashlight - holy crap. I vacuumed most of the insides now, but still got somewhere near half a centimeter of dust on/in the graphics card and other components are also still dusty.
What's the best way to get rid of it? Compressed air?
I also need to do some cable management, the shop i bought my parts at put it together and the cable management is so crappy i cringe everytime i get to see the insides of my computer. Any tips?

Cable management and airflow is a giant meme to sell you pretty cables and cable ties.

Does it look cool? Yes
Does it help keep your PC cool? No
Dust is what matters but as long as you clean that shit out of your heatsinks you're golden.

>Dust is what matters but as long as you clean that shit out of your heatsinks you're golden.
currently (the way they put it together at the shop) i have loose cables all over the case (including cables touching the mobo, graphics card and radiator)
i don't give a shit about it looking cool as i keep my case closed pretty much always, but having shitloads of loose cables and dust on top of that is surely not so optimal and might cause a fire someday.
also, im pretty sure the blackscreens im getting (all audio stops, black monitor 'monitor going to sleep' but pc still running) is because the cables/dust on my graphics

What's the best flavor of Ubuntu and why is it Ubuntu Mate?

I quite like Unity actually, but it's not very performant, so I vote for budgie, the new Ubuntu flavour.

Because it's easy to use, and works well and doesn't cost anything. They get your gaming habits from you and that's about it.
I absolutely love the S7 but I can't get over the fact that it's probably gonna stop being supported during the next year. I was probably gonna grab one during Black Friday but I honestly don't know what I'm gonna do now
I hate Touchwiz but the phone itself is amazing, I'm coming from a Nexus 5 and the price is extremely attractive ($600, not in the US), security patches are important to me but it doesn't seem like it's gonna be supported by CM or anything like that in the foreseeable future.
The iPhone on the other hand is sleek and reliable, and reliability is what matters the most to me. It also does better than the S7 in benchmarks and that's another aspect
All I want is a future-proof device that wouldn't rip my wallet or let script kiddies with access to the CVE database read my emails with 2 years old unpatched bugs such as Stagefright

Get an XZ from Sony, that's what I'm doing since samsung is now back to manufacturing for the army. Sony also has Stamina Mode ™ and supports phones for very long periods of time if they are in the main line

why arent any image formats capable of saving a non-square image? SVG for example is capable of defining an arbitrary shape—couldn't you save raster data between points? just an idea i came up with.

Whats the best brand for SSDs guys?
Also does write speed matter at all?

OCZ, Toshiba, Intel, Samsung.
Stick with a name brand. If you have never used an SSD before then speeds won't matter as much because it's your first SSD and will be 3 times faster than mechanical anyway.

My samsung is shit, get a cheap sandisk, its best for the buck.

Samsung, Crucial (only this 4 models mx100, bx100, M550, mx200), sandisk in that order. Others have good models here and there.

I just realized I got the KZ ATE HIFI instead of the meme'd S to replace my Soundmagic E10.
Is there a difference that isn't just cosmetic?
Also took me until their arrival to realize that you're supposed to wear them like sports IEM's with the cable over your ear.
Anyways, they exceed my expectations by far.
Pros:
-Great sound for the price overall.
-Very "open" sound, completely unlike any IEM's I've ever owned, I actually prefer their sound to the E10's.
-Punchy bass that doesn't overwhelm the rest of the sound like with most bass-heavy IEM's
-Really like the foamy tips.
-I've read that people find them uncomfortable, to me they are the most comfortable IEM's I've ever used.
-Also the first IEM's I don't have to readjust every 5 minutes, they stay exactly where I put them.
-L-shaped jack.
Cons:
-Shitty cable, rubbery and sticky. Looks good though. The only real downgrade from my E10's because I could just roll them up and put them in my pocket while these new ones get tangled up every damn time.
-Start to sound like shit at higher volumes, doesn't really affect me since I'm trying to reduce my music listening volume anyways.
-The build quality doesn't seem great, shouldn't matter though since the cable always breaks first.
-Possibly look like a faggot due to the little golden weights dangling from your ears.

hello, g; i don't really know programming, but i have an innovative idea which will change modern mobile phone world.
in short, i would like to add option to phone which will give us the means to prevent ourselves from calling/texting "x" people when we are drunk.
the phone should have alcohol detector; once it detects you are drunk you can't text/call your ex's or crushes (actually anyone else you choose to be blacklisted; but ex cases are the worst and the most viral).
does it ever sound interesting?

People who drink is going to do embarrasing and stupid shit. If they did not want to do it they would have stayed sober. Nobody have ever done anything wise or smart while they are drunk.
