I recall a meme when 5years is the like "varranty" stuff before it starts to break. Aren't in enterprise there a directive to replace hardware every N-years and N is like equal to five?
Like chineese are selling intel XEON from old servers.
And you probably not a clever IT guy since you do not backup your stuff.
Yep yep, great, about that though. Could you repeat all of that in English so I can actually understand it?
Thomas Cox
I think hes trying to say "timed failure"
Also you should really backup your stuff.
Ian Nelson
I always hear back your stuff up, but to where? Another volatile storage? The cloud ™ ?
Cooper Rivera
USB drive, mSD card, blu-ray, CD/DVD, external HDD
OP you have no excuse, just admit your a dumb fuck and learn from your mistakes. Your friend would have probably wanted you to forget about him and move on anyhow. We have to let things go eventually, even our own mortality when the time comes.

Keeping temps and voltage low and turning your pc off when you are not using it makes them last longer
Asher Kelly
That's what you get for buying a cheap Mobo.
Aaron Hall
Computers know man.
In the past two months I've been replacing two servers for two companies and both servers being replaced failed days before having the new systems up and running despite having absolutely no issues.
>Keeping temps and voltage low and turning your pc off when you are not using it makes them last longer That doesn't make sense to me
When you turn the computer off, the components cool down and contract, but when in use they heat up and expand. Surely doing this over and over wears down the longevity of the components more than just leaving it in sleep or hibernate mode when idle
Eli Richardson
Something like Bup; which is designed to deduplicate the data you store in it, but make it difficult to delete any individual piece of data, and adds its own layers of redundancy to recover from bit rot at the file system layer.
Christian Collins
>leaving your pc turned of ar room temperature makes you components contract
Because the degradation you get from running them is orders of magnitude more than anything you'd get from expansion/contraction.

OP, if you are in the nyc area, I have fucking 3 ASUS ROG motherboards (2 of em Rampage VI ) ended up getting accidentally through purchasing with bitcoin. I'm trying to find someone to help me install my computer, and in exchange can have one of the Rampage Vis. I know, this sounds sketchy as fuck and have no idea how would ever get in touch, but fuck it seems like such a perfect thing. Buy needs motherboard, I have extra motherboard in exchange for help connecting the motherfucker...
This is why I took home 3 thinkpads, a hp z420 workstation and a lots of spare ssds and ram from work. In case I lose my job I still have enough spares to keep going for a long time.

>3 ASUS ROG motherboards (2 of em Rampage VI ) ended up getting accidentally through purchasing with bitcoin saw your thread earlier many keks were had good luck with the build crazy buttcoin man protip: touch the metal of the case with one hand before touching the motherboard, gpu etc it will ground you

>didn't make backups of his photos Retard
Luis Brown
He is referring to planned obsolescence.
Colton Price
just open the grave and take a picture, no biggie

>losing important files NIGGER DO BACKUPS, DO YOU GUYS LEARN NOTHING FROM THE STORIES POSTED ABOUT DATA LOSS?
Luke Mitchell
Is it Z77? They were faulty. Would not recommend, get a Ryzen.
