content: [Blog post] Fuck Intel sockets, flimsy little pieces of microscopic turds So I think I was on the verge of fucking up my computer today. The whole thing was hanging up at random times. Both Windows 7 and Linux were behaving mysteriously bad with those memory access errors (Shit couldn't be read from address 0x000af607c6914aab) and so on. It's a shitty 4th gen Intel (Socket 1150). Yeah, I know, Intelaviv but I was poor as fuck when I bought this motherboard in 2015 and that was the cheapest semi decent used part I could get. I even think I got it so cheap (around $60) because retards didn't know those motherboards require an updated UEFI if you want to use the latest CPUs for that generation. There were way many more used 4th gen motherboards available than 2nd or 3rd gen in that shop. Point is I never properly cleaned it and I cleaned the whole shit, replaced the thermal compound and threw some contact cleaning spray everywhere something can be plugged in. Including the CPU socket. Yuuuge mistake. Or maybe not such a huge mistake but I should've sprayed it at a greater distance. When I plugged everything back in it wouldn't POST. So I removed everything and I realized two of those little weak pins got bent, I guess by the pressure exerted from the contact cleaning spray. Anyway, in my turd world country we have a saying: "We tie it up with some wire" meaning we fix a problem in any way we can, so I took my trusty toothpick and put those cunts back into place and here I am, wasting your time by typing this appallingly useless post from my Israeli-made computer. Fuck you Intel.
