Yep. This is hardware related. To be fair, many programmers I know are also into self-building and more hardware-related stuff, but that’s something I personally just don’t know my way around well (instead I like more theoretical computer science more). So I genuinely don’t know the problem here, and I think that’s fine.
You get no shade from me. My only beef is with programmers who act like they are experts in all things computer when they aren’t.
BTW, the issue in the picture is that the CPU cooler is attached to the wall of the case instead of the CPU. It shuts down because modern hardware will usually turn itself off when it overheats to mitigate the risk of permanent damage.
Most programmers I know wouldn’t understand what they’re looking at here.
This is sysadmin humor maybe?

Some old cpus would actually go up in smoke if you ran them without cooler: https://youtu.be/Xf0VuRG7MN4

Wisdom is knowing what you don’t know.
It’s the irq jumpers for the mca expansion card right?
Do you want the spoiler
Not really, but thank you. I was just throwing in some ancient sysadmin humour.
Writing code but never seen the thing the code runs inside of…
I guess they are not very curious.
I’m sure there are great screenwriters who don’t know the first thing about cameras or projectors. They can still write good screenplays.
a better analogy would be people who write software for the cameras. screenwriters are closer to software testers
