if you go to the dell forums there's some Justin who literally goes something like "I'm sorry to hear your Dell machine has not performed to your liking, if you would like to return it we would refund you".
more on the outlier among pc boosting enthusiasts, i dug up some long ass guides detailing how to address the problems, which basically means reverse engineering Dell's product for them. so far i've undervolted my CPU/GPU (which was a hassle in and of itself thanks to Dell sneaking some shitty BIOS update that totally unnecessarily prevented the user from doing so), and my next steps will be repasting and also adding thermal pads in strategic locations under the hood to improve airflow and heat transference from components that are prone to overheat. if i address this from a positive angle, it's been sort of enjoyable to figure this stuff out and beating the challenge. but there's no excuse for how incredibly sloppy this design is, both on the software and hardware ends. totally unacceptable from a big company like dell, especially charging top dollar. i don't splurge often at all on this type of stuff and spent months researching models, only to still be dealing with this crap. |

i'm just so repulsed by laptops that are geared towards gaming. why must they make them so god damn obnoxious? unfortunately, dell was pretty much the only elegant design around that packed power and didn't look like an action figure

Anybody who knows anything about gaming knows you absolutely need the following three things:
- an AMD processor - plenty of RAM - red or green neon case lighting |

gaming laptops are one of the only things you should buy an extended warranty for
according to my friend, who owns a computer repair shop something will always break, often overheating starts without a clear source my dell workstation laptop gets hot as fuck, i have to use a cooling pad when i play games. but i'm going to get a desktop computer for work and gaming soon so i'm just dealing with it right now. i re-pasted everything, got a new fan, fresh install, etc |

Prison guards are going to have the time of their lives with the Full House puns as Lori Loughlin (along with even less famous people) head off for their semester inside.

my microsoft surface has served me well for the last couple years (for general internet stuff, lots of typing, and moderate usage of things like excel, photoshop, recording), but when i finish grad school, i am going to treat myself to a gaming desktop although it might be hard to pull the trigger. i dabbled in gaming for pc, but in my experience, the people around who played were also good at building, soldering, and fixing their own computers---i'm not, but i'd like to be. the people who could afford it just bought alienware computers and souped those up with fancy hardware. although i just checked and dell purchased Alienware in 2006 "in a rare acquisition designed to improve Alienware's supply chain and boost Dell's standing among PC enthusiasts" lol Last edited by yo soy el mejor : 08-26-2020 at 12:20 PM. |

If I really wanted to do new games on a laptop I'd get it included in my renter's insurance policy (some cover things stolen even when not in your house) and get the warranty. No way I'd get a $1200+ laptop without both of those protections, especially if I planned on traveling with it a lot. |

In today's news, the Australian terrorist that murdered fifty-one people in a New Zealand mosque in March 2019 has just been sentenced to spend the remainder of his natural life in jail, apparently making it the first time a sentence of that magnitude has been issued down this way.

Yeah, he seemed to completely abandon whatever plan he must have had for turning the courtroom into some sort of platform when he fired his legal team and elected to represent himself. In the end, he declined the offer to speak with a simple, "No, thank you."
