laptop

My chunky laptop from 2014 can’t disperse heat properly, so it’s trying to set my lap on fire.

... but it has a blue ray player and two internal hard drives. Better stick with it.

I tried to repair the broken fan on a laptop once

It made everything worse

I think they make these to break on purpose.

Have you cleaned and re-pasted it properly? Internal spinny hard drives ain't much to brag about in this world of modern electronics. Can it even run YouTube at 1080p? :P

My late-2009 MacBook Pro can run YouTube at 1080p with little problem. I just don't use YouTube's shoddy website for it. >..>

What do you use then? I'd think their page would be highly optimized after existing for your know. Decades?

I use an Invidious frontend via yewtu.be .

And no, YouTUbe is not optimized. The javascript on there has brought my more modern Core i7 gaming/home media rig to a crawl while watching long streams.

I agree with the idea of re-pasting the CPU and GPU. Switching to SSDs might also be a good idea, depending on how much storage is needed. Mechanical drives actually put out more heat than the Core2Duo in my own laptop, and two might be a bit much.

What model of laptop are you using?
