I don't know, and don't care). If my legs start getting hot when they touch my computer case, then I know I have a temperature problem. And in this case, the only solution is a reboot anyway, which the computer will do by itself to protect the components. (20-02-2017, 07:30 PM)z3bra Wrote: What about actual informations? Like how much tasks you have in your TODO, the next event in your calendar? How many unread emails you have, or if your s3cr3t VPN is still UP?

Computers are wonders of technology that can run themselves, so they can be your tools. Let them do their job so you can do yours! That's very well put. We overestimate how useful some things are and how much time we'll actually be looking at them. |
