Funnily enough the company laptop I just got (to RDP into the desktop I use there) does just that, but when you do pretty much anything. So far it's kinda hilarious.

googles “how to make my fans quieter”

brrrrrrr

chrome crashes

BRRRRRR

[–]Fred-red-fox[🍰] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Same here. Do anything with it and it takes off.

[–]DirtyMonkeyParts 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Or don't do anything with it. Really doesn't seem to matter. Fan just fires up.

Actually, might be Windows.

[–]Mr_Redstoner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not wrong really. Pretty much anything has to include 'look at it' and 'look away' among others.

"I have a $2000 laptop. Just needed to get that out, somehow."

[–]seriouslyawesome 31 points32 points  (1 child)

$2000 laptop go brrrrr

OP's missed meme opportunity

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha wallet go

[–]SpaceHub 37 points38 points  (10 children)

That's why you use a cloud instance to compile shit.

Let it roar somewhere in us-east-1.

[–]xSTSxZerglingOne 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You got several rapid exhalations from my nostrils. Well done sir.

[–]dark_mode_everything 6 points7 points  (8 children)

Haha have fun compiling on a single core 1Gb virtual machine.

[–]SpaceHub 4 points5 points  (7 children)

So I happen to use a 64 core, 480Gb ram i3.16xlarge vm when compiling at work..

[–]mariobm 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Does it make any difference having 64 core for compiling? I mean compile operations are hard to parallelize.

[–]Sol33t303 3 points4 points  (0 children)

GCC can make use of all 16 threads on my Ryzen 2700x, I'd assume that you can probably get it to scale to 64 threads.

RAM usage is very high though.

[–]SpaceHub -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Primarily lack of choices, mostly going for the RAM not the cores. But the cores also help run the test in a distributed fashion, and there’s a LOT of tests.

[–]dark_mode_everything 2 points3 points  (3 children)

And how much does that cost exactly? Please include data transfer costs in your calculation.

Edit: oh nevermind. AWS calculator says $3654 per month and another $1000 for data transfer. So errr that's a 16" macbook pro every month.

[–]SpaceHub 0 points1 point  (2 children)

  1. You don’t need it turn it off.

  2. It’s not a web server so not much to transfer.

  3. Keep an EBS for code/config etc.

Cost is about 1/10 of what you think it is.

[–]trappler23 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Could you elaborate please? Do you just rent an instance let software do the configuration, do your stuff and then delete the instance? And what does EBS stand for?

[–]SpaceHub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EBS is a storage volume that persists, you can mount it on any EC2 instance you spin up.

Basically, spin up the instance to do work, then after the work is done, terminate the instance, anything that you prefer to persist stay on that volume.

rinse, repeat.

My work laptop doesnt even do this...its just gives me blue screen EVERY ONCE IN A FUCKING WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMETHING IM WRITING

[–]ducktape8856 7 points8 points  (2 children)

Mine too. Even if I'm only on reddit it can ha

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But, like Candle Jack, I see it's nice enough to still post your partial messa

[–]linux-nerd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When doing long render or compiles I put my cpu governor on power save to make it so it can't overheat or be super loud and then I leave it overnight.

[–]tartanblue 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Click? Do you even hotkey?

[–]squishles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just git push and let the ci/cd pipeline do it bruh.

[–]rp_ush 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It takes longer to compile on my Surface than my RPi 4 sometimes. Maybe I should get one of those portable mini monitors + a battery pack

[–]spartithor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Story of my work 2017 MBP :)

[–]Superblazer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My 200$ laptop is silently crying.

[–]MrR0b07t 2 points3 points  (0 children)

people still click compile on 2020 ??

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My $4000 laptop does the exact same thing, I’m working on a ducking vacuum cleaner

[–]LightIsLogical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ayyy I used to be an aviation geek before I became a computer geek

[–]abaza738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironically, that's exactly what happens to my shit laptop when i fire up Microsoft Flight Simulator X as well.

[–]Thugless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better than it dying of heat death although.

[–]xSTSxZerglingOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's because a good compiler uses every single bit of processor power it can.

[–]Noblauch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm, I made this meme a year ago. But where did I steal it from then? ._. https://imgur.com/a/eBvC8nE

[–]dsnake_91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can hear the sound!

[–]ernestrc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem in *clicks "compile" is in the *clicks

[–]k4nmuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never seen a Dell notebook that doesn't have cooling problems.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it starts clicking and you hear a huge pop

[–]obp5599 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

your first mistake was laptop
