You don’t have any enemies because you don’t have anything that anybody wants badly enough to take from you by coersion or force. Acquire some wealth and it won’t matter how nice you are, you will have enemies.

2·16 hours agoYeah it sounds like you’ve eliminated all of the most common possibilities. All of this narrows it down pretty far:
Both when actively using it and leaving it idle when I’m away doing anything else.
The screen freezes the last shown image on it.
Every time the computer is on it will eventually freeze.
Yes both windows and Linux.
Haven’t tried booting a live OS.
It’s likely not an SSD issue because I have booted from two different ssds.
If you’ve already swapped the SSD and reinstalled then the live OS would probably be a waste of time, it really just verifies that the fixed disk is not the source of the problem (although it could be something like the SATA bus, in which case swapping the drive would be irrelevant - low probability on that though).
The barebones test is definitely a good next step. The only other thing I’d suggest is checking the socket real carefully with a flashlight and a magnifying glass (I know you said you checked it already, not clear if that was just a quick look or a full examination). Also make sure the socket itself isn’t cracked or damaged in some way that might cause it to flex and not fully contact the CPU when you lock it down, and that all the pins lift up like they’re supposed to when the lever is folded down.
I’ve been having an issue with my computer deadlocking after roughly 10-30 minutes of it being on. The simple test was when the computer froze up it didn’t register any inputs, caps lock didn’t change any lights on my keyboard, the computer fans still ran, sound just stopped instead of tonally rattling my headphones like a regular bsod.
What are the conditions at the time of the crash? Are you actively using it? Is the screen blank, or frozen showing the last activity? Does this occur every time the computer is on, or intermittently? Does it happen in both Windows and Linux? Does it happen if you boot a live OS and leave that running for awhile? Have you done any SMART checks?
Just to further clarify the symptoms, is it true that the following all appear to stop working at the same time?
- Video out
- Audio out
- Mouse in
- Keyboard in
Also what are your mouse and keyboard like? Are they wireless? Is there anything else like a USB hub between them and the motherboard? (or maybe an internal port extender inside the PC case for front panel ports or w/e?) Have you tried a different mouse/keyboard just to check the simple stuff? Is the mouse optical sensor still on after the crash (still getting power)?
It would be useful to strip your motherboard to just the CPU and boot to UEFI/BIOS with only the monitor and keyboard attached. (You might need to have 1 RAM module installed to get the motherboard to start - this depends on some specifics of the chipset and the POST test for your board - install the RAM only if you can’t get to UEFI without it). Does the crash occur in this state?
This would kind of make sense if Isildur had taken the ring and tried to disassemble it and learn how its various magic effects worked, in order to extend life without the downsides.
The amount of things we’ve learned from the field of virology is fucking nuts.
1·8 days agoOK, sure, but again the claim was:
there is no problem in keeping code quality while using AI
Whether or not human-written code also requires review is outside the context of this discussion, and entirely irrelevant.

11·8 days agoOh, it’s not, the difference is that the SVG is an unexpected delivery vector.
The script on a website might change over time, might be blocked by an extension like uBlock origin that prevents sections of web code from loading in the first place. You can block a website’s JS with an extension that specifically does that, like jshelter. A malicious SVG is static, the malicious code is malicious forever and is embedded in the file. A browser extension can’t selectively block pieces of the file from loading.
Script blocking extensions prevent web page code from loading, but they don’t prevent the application from executing JS. If you open an SVG, the file is downloaded locally (it’s not web code) and the JS in the file will execute locally, with the same permissions and file system access as the user opening the file.
Yup.
There’s always value in understanding risk, and in limiting it.
the security risks associated with JavaScript are not typically seen as significant since your filesystem is not accessible and most any other vulnerable data isn’t either for that matter
go on mate, pull the other one!
Rowhammer is unfixable, by the way, until someone invents a replacement for DRAM.
Yes, actually I use jshelter to block script and selectively allow it per website.
YSK: SVG files are a security risk. Be careful where you get them from and how you handle them.
Basically, an SVG can contain JavaScript. If you open an SVG in an application that can interpret the JS (e.g. a web browser) then the script will execute (just as with a malicious PDF), at which point it could download other files (malware) or perform any other function that the application has access to (creating, editing or deleting files on the hard drive) because you gave it permission to do that by opening the SVG. Effectively opening an SVG in a JS-capable application is the same as allowing a stranger to run arbitrary code on your computer. You might as well go around the Internet wearing a “please hack me” sign.
Downloading an SVG to your hard drive directly should be relatively safe, and opening it in a graphics program that does not execute JavaScript should have no risk, but viewing random SVGs in a web browser is a real hazard.
I’m sorry, what exactly do you think this conversation is about if not using AI for code generation?
No, I want worker protections, regulatory enforcement, and broad public distrust of the exploitative owner class who are using AI to extract more wealth while destroying the environment we all live in.
Patronizing “AI” systems is collaboration with the worst garbage of the human race, the robber barons who are comfortable killing people for quarterly profits.
People like Peter Theil, Elon Musk and Sam Altman.
So don’t accept code that is shit. Have decent PR process. Accountability is still on human.
If this is necessary then there is, in point of fact, a “problem in keeping code quality while using AI”.
Every person in every industry in a rush to replace the work of creative people with output from machine learning models can fuck right off.
Every consumer who is content with products made by such people can also fuck right off.
there is no problem in keeping code quality while using AI
This opinion is contradicted by basically everyone who has attempted to use models to generate useful code which must interface with existing codebases. There are always quality issues, it must always be reviewed for functional errors, it rarely interoperates with existing code correctly, and it might just delete your production database no matter how careful you try to be.
Oh, you’re right, there are plenty of other ways to acquire enemies. They’re just mostly stupider than self-interest. Being nice will also not help you with those people.
