MY DOG CHEWED THROUGH THE KITCHEN DOOR

Holy **** with the five billion intel news articles

Note to self: grow thicker skin and stop caring about random people on the internet

The dead HDD in my work computer is replaced with a SSD. I no longer have the excuse of looking at my phone when waiting for things to load.

Work computer gave me a BSOD, reboot and bam! Hard drive no longer exists. First time I've seen a mechanical hard drive die without any warnings. Good thing I backed up my codes.

Played around with DXR and my GTX1080 can barely run a 720p demo at 60FPS.
YOU WIN NVIDIA I WANT A RTX CARD NOW

Never knew my motherboard has a temperature alarm (that cannot be turned off!). It is not like a bios beep either, more like a quack. Startled me when I was folding during the hotter part of the day.

The feeling when Intel HD4600 renders my app 10 times faster than Titan X. The Titan died shortly afterwards but I got the same results with a new Titan Xp.
Turned out Intel is much more efficient in OpenGL with converting double precision data to single precision before sending them into the GPU pipeline. Not sure wtf the NV driver is doing...

Got rid off my windows partition since I spend the vast majority of my time using Ubuntu. There are a couple of software like Office and banking stuff that I rum using a Windows VM with 32 gigs of virtual hard disk. This feels cleaner than dual booting.

been there done that

Try looking at something else like Linux give your self a challenge Mint is a good choice if you want to play games as well or even Kali Linux if you want to learn/test your skills at offensive security.

It's been 10 years since I got into gaming hardware. Now that I got a rig with absolutely everything I want, turned out gaming doesn't interest me anymore....
