Freelance Freedom 279: Running Hot



Once a week, we feature a fantastic freelance-themed comic from the talented N.C. Winters. Why not also take a look at our comic archive?

PG

N.C. Winters is always drawing. When he isn't making comics, doodling or working as a freelance graphic artist, he spends his time painting pretty pictures for galleries from his home studio in sunny southern California.

    … I get the message but… but… no… computers just don’t do that… well, maybe apple products?

      Tell that to an old graphics card I had running at 120C – And it was Windows… I should have salvaged it, we could have cooked bacon with it!

    uhm .. yeah .. the other thing is when suddenly all important programs stop to work properly or at all. Time to take a break, open up the computer, and do some tedious “lets check its singular RAM module, and then each of them added after another” 6-hour-break ..

    .. happened to me recently. Uptime till then was 30 days. But then: THIS. IS. UNIX! Also its actually built for 24h operation – got a 24/7-safe HDD, and all other components are also more server/endurance-focused than just for nifty playing around .. ;)

    BTW: If your monitor starts to burn, its probably sitting much too close the heating or the wall. And also still might be a CRT … good for cooking dinner or lunch thou :D

    cu, w0lf.
