Get your ungrounded fingers off the board! And bow down three times before touching honolable glaphics plocessol, as recommended in the origignal datasheet!
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

I've never had modern systems give a darn about static and such.
On the other hand, back in the day, my Atari ST would die if there was lightning three counties over.

Í have been working with CMOS since the 1970s and grounding everything, including the cat, has become part of the ritual. Early CMOS was much more vulnerable to ESD than today's, but it's still a problem.
And thanks for reminding me. I could use the time and repair my old Atari ST. Nothing too serious, just a mechanical failure in the floppy drive and I think I still have a 3.5 inch DD floppy drive to replace it.
And my Atari 800 needs a new ROM. I hope the dead one is in a socket, so that I can solder up a replacement that uses an 28C256 EEPROM that plugs right in.

I had a laptop motherboard die on me after using a vacuum to suck the dust out the vents. I' had done it before without issues, so I have to assume that it must have created static that fried something.

Oh boy.
Had you been using that vacuum not too long before on carpeted floors?
Personally, I use compressed air to clean the insides of my computers, and have been doing it for decades. As in, the type my dad (an auto mechanic) has in the garage. I stick something long like a pen or screwdriver in the fans so they can't start spinning faster than they're designed to and blow the living sh*t out of it all. They always come out looking new with a minimal amount of effort.
I keep reading that people don't recommend that as there can be some sort of oily residue/build-up coming out of the compressor. I don't know what these people are using, but I've never seen anything but air come out of it. I've done the experiment - blowing air onto a white sheet of paper for a few minutes. It didn't end up looking any less clean than the next sheet in the stack.

I do not know what I expected, but this was especially unspectacular.

To be fair, you would need quantum mechanics to explain some of the things that go on on that board or what the placement of some components has to do with the unacceptably low speed of light.

Fair point. The liquid metal cooling also looks great.

There is a text that has been floating in front of my nose for years now and it was time to let Google Translate help me understand every detail of it. Indeed, there are many aspects that had eluded me until now. Have fun!

Oh, I believe that, but only until they discover that this has to do with lots of math and studies and that they are up against an army of nerds who are more interested in all that than them.

The computer is still here. And a few more that I found along the way.

Now, why would you buy a cow when all you want is a glass of milk now and then? And what would you say when the cow demands that you to throw everything away if you value your occasional glass of milk? And that's why so many cows end up alone with a dozen cats. Poor cats, but better them than me.

So, did you send it to language X and back, or through more than one?
It's certainly still recognisable.

Is this what you get when you translate to "Zen Cat Language" and back?

The Ocean - Jurassic | Cretaceous (feat. Jonas Renkse of Katatonia)[^]
The Ocean, also known as The Ocean Collective, have been getting lots of good reviews for their latest two albums.
Both deal with geological eras in the form of progressive metal, like all their work so far.
I didn't like the first album very much when it was released, but after hearing the second I think I should give it another go.
Unlike the song, I can be short about this one, SOTW!

Sander, I had to use Google Translate to make sense of your post. This is what i got:
Quote: Jorah C. Curtis (Arnia Grand Duke of Catania (Jonathan)) [6]
The Dalai Lama said he received much criticism over the last two patients who had albinism.
As all work has already been done, these geological periods are a starting point.
I hate the first song, but I think I should sing the second song and play it.
Unlike the song, my STV rating is not that high!
