I don't know what you're talking about, that jolt helps me wake up in the morning.

I like to virtualize it in packet steeper.

British electronics do, but they leak oil everywhere.
I'm leaning towards the Be Quiet 800 case. Seems to have what I want. Wish it had a more quality model for more money. Whenever I buy things I seem to have a subconscious minimum price because I want something just with more quality more often.
Someone in my area on craigslist says they have a dead hard drive with the click of death that has 30-something bitcoins on it. He says he just wants some of them back and will would be happy to give half to someone that fixes it... that sounds sketchy, I would just send it to a shop or some shit. I mean, I would spend a few hundred to get $18,000 USD back.
This isn't legit it is?

Sounds like a great way to get money for a dead harddrive.
Unless he's giving it away for (nearly) free, it's definitely a scam

If he had that much money on it, getting a professional data recovery to repair it would be a drop in the bucket.
Don't do it.
The guys an idiot if there was really Bitcoin on the drive.
A professional repair service would only charge about $2-3K to repair the hard drive. Spending that money to make $18K would definitely be worth it.
It's tempting, since I would basically get $9,000 for rather little effort. Just sounds like Im gonna show up and get stabbed or something.. someone smart enough to mine coins but not smart enough to google the problem? The post:

You're not going to get stabbed.
He's going to try to convince you to give him some money up front as a show of good faith, and then you are never going to see him again.

I was exaggerating, I know Im not gonna get stabbed. lol. But I do think it's some sort of scam, what you mention makes a lot of sense.
Give him monopoly money up front, say you'll exchange it for the real stuff once you verify real bitcoin.
Don't even entertain the idea of doing it. Because it sounds like you are.
Or just don't bother because it's a fucking scam. This is just a new twist on one of the most generic frauds in the book.
If you insist on following through with it, just walk away the instant he tries to pressure you for any money under any circumstance, and for the love of all that you hold dear, do not contact him with anything other than a disposable email.
RAID is not a ba-oh wait, wrong circle jerk
RAID sucks. Use this.

Nah, I'll take you guys' advice on it. I won't bother with it. Any time something is too good to be true, it almost always is.
I dunno raid is god. You don't know true fear until you open a box 300 feet up on a tower clipped to it and its full of wasps.
Yeah, the wasp stuff is good for killing on contact. Using RAID for ants, or other insects that create nests you can't get to is just pointless though. You don't want kill on contact. You want something that kills them over time and can infest the nest, killing the whole colony.
It's a real shame that some of the really good stuff is illegal now. Bedbugs are on the rise again because they don't do a lot of grooming type behaviors, so they don't injest most toxins, and the stuff that can outright kill them kills fucking everything else in the environment. Diatomaceous earth and dry ice as the lure seems to be the ticket, but you don't want to be breathing what amounts to glass shards, so you have to leave for a while. It can take weeks of treatment to get rid of them.

TL;DR RAID is not a bait solution.

If you really want to be the saint, you could reply to the e-mail with suggestions on places to get it repaired at. If he insists that someone else does it, then you know he is a fraud.
Not worth the effort. Smarter cons say thanks, and ignore you, or just ignore you outright.
I like my ants to be striped
Oh nice, Seagate archive drives have two holes per side for screws instead of 3 so it's only held in by the one on each side that lines up. Not that it can fall out because the graphics card is touching the power cable.

Speeds aren't even that bad and it's fucking [I]silent[/I] even on random read and write which makes my Toshiba sound like death which is pretty :ok:.
So i'm still getting complications trying to install Arch on my laptop, while trying to keep Windows intact.
I got a recovery drive made so should I wipe the hard drive, install Arch and a bootloader fully, then re-install Windows afterwards?
Why is using the scroll wheel on a physical mouse so terrible on macOS. It's so bad. I've searched online for stuff to disable but it's still terrible.
Like it's really aggravating and terrible, holy shit. It makes using my G700s a pain in the ass.

Think Different.

The scrolling thing is stupid. It's great with the trackpads, but terrible for normal computer mice.
Also, what the living fuck is with this bullshit:
I think Mac OS is dumb because you can't change the audio levels when connected to an HDMI monitor

You can in Windows... Ugh. Changing the volume on the monitor each time is super annoying, when it could have been done via the keyboard instead. Like that is with this shit.
You can in Linux too
