I saw that, some people really shouldn't be within 500 feet of a PC

PC's have feelings too!

Whoever did it shouldn't be within 500 miles of a PC let alone 500 feet 😂😂😂

That looks eerily similar to my porridge-down-my-shirt splodge!

Given the likes of Raspberry Pi's, weather monitoring stations and so on, there can't be too many places on the planet more than 500 miles away from some level of a computer. Those people should definitely relocate to those places though!

As there are over 5,000 Starlink satellites orbiting less than 360 miles above the Earth, not to mention a bunch of low-orbit weather satelites orbiting around 500 miles up, I think it's probably near impossible to achieve the desired separation. Sad but true.

I knew I was forgetting an obvious place where a lot of computers could be found!

I don't feel confident in applying paste, but I would be looking at some of the thermal pads or getting someone to help me apply the paste long before I made a mess like in that first post!

You could dig down 600 miles (to be safe) towards the earth's core - don't think there are any electronic devices down there (except those of the mole people).

I think Facebook is down that way, Zuckerberg is definitely a Mole Person.

I know you had a boat that could sail 600 miles from land but I did not realise it could also fly.

I have played safe and bought myself a jar of sardine and tomato paste. I first apply to the computer and then make a sandwich.

I bet @Martinr36 is thinking "I left this thread for one min and all i see is markzuckermole, typical"

 

[TonyCarter]

Looks more like markzuckerotter

Although all the images I seem to be getting offered are not ‘moles’, so I think there’s something a bit off with the training images.

e.g.

 

[AccidentalDenz]

If I've understood the last couple of hours of this thread, I'm allowed to use a mole to apply thermal paste onto my PC, but not a rat.

Have I got that right?

 

[TonyCarter]

Only a nerd mole, not a geek rat

As a newb in the world of PC maintenance, I have to find trustworthy sources for my computer advice.

Are you telling me that I can't rely on you fine people?!
