lmao I thought this was a meme but it happened to me also. Well, similar, I was listening to music but I had to go to take a shit, so I closed my laptop's lid as always to put it to sleep. Then I came back and using my phone without caring for much then after like 2/2.30 hours music started to play from my sleeping/hibernating laptop. lol I swear to god I'm not lying. I was in CU of Win10. Now I'm on Ubuntu.

I suddently realised most /g/ users are underaged and use windows ...

Leave the stinkpad on go to bed. Admire the rice of my freshly updated Gentoo i3 desktop for 20 minutes.... webcam light springs on.

Forgot to put the lid of my laptop down.
Woke up and saw my laptop webcam led turn on for a while (led indicator turns on when the camera is running).

>>61901098
Started to block my webcam permanently, since then.

You cannot blame Debian for you own lack of intelligence.

How exactly is it my fault that the idiots at Debian forgot to set the correct rights within a system file?

You can kill the browser in the task manager.

Had this happen and it turns out it's a bug with Office.
Until I found out I was paranoid as fuck.

>when your LTS distro finally stops being supported

Just end my life

>>61901745
I actually did but it was too late and Avira already detected my computer aids

>>61901776
Fucking IE is such fucking cancer, I swear.
I've had to use it at work for some things that don't work properly with FF or Chrome, utter disgrace of a browser.

>>61901839
yeah but everyone knows so you can't actually blame IE
can't blame the gun if you shoot yourself in the head

I blame myself for letting this happen
I should have known that I get fucked for using it

>>61899366
I had this happen to me once, the prompt popped up and stood there for a good 5-10 seconds before fucking off. Pretty spooky desu

Are you a retard? A laptop can't burn your house you dumb shit. It turns itself down when it reaches really hot temperatures.

I have no idea why this is. At first I suspected my undervolt to be the problem but I can be at 100% CPU for hours and no crashes, so I'm confused.

I've seen with my own two eyes laptops that have caught on fire from overheating. It happens most when people leave them on their bed without anything under the laptop thus the bedding blocks the fans. People have died from this.....
