I'll try to fix it, but whether I fix it or buy a new motherboard, it'll take time, and that's what's killing me. I'm literally the person in the "I love my puter, all my friends are in there" meme, I use it to play video games, browse social media, do livestreams, and an application for a job that I had to send out yesterday was on it, too. (It was too hot and I was too emotional to take the SSD from it and plug it into my laptop, so I just copy-pasted CV and cover letter from PDFs I fortunately had in cloud storage and then fixed the formatting and edited them.) I'll be able to get it running again by Thursday, but I feel naked and sad without my puter, and this laptop isn't a great replacement, either :c

But couldn't you plug the screen and peripherals into the laptop to get 90% of the functionality of the desktop?

[–] LordAmplifier@pawb.social 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Technically, yes, but without the remaining 10%, I don't want to sit in a scorching hot room at all. I think that was the worst part of it all. A broken mobo sucks, but 35C / 95F and humid air in a small room on the southern side of the house made me extremely irritable. It'll cool down significantly on Thursday, though. I'm really excited about that.

That is fair.

That sounds like hell, I would probably live in the basement if things ever got that hot here.

It is hell, and that's why I did exactly what you would do, at least for a couple of days. Our basement has massive walls that keep the heat out. It was a real blessing this week. Learning Swedish and moving there has never been this tempting.
