After 4 seasons, they'd done a lot of character building across the
board, and with the time jumps between seasons, you really feel like
there's a lot of history between them all. Well done.

I'd like to see a season 5 with a time jump to now, but it might be anticlimactic. I really just want to know they ended up alright.

Maybe Wikipedia would have a page about the show Halt and Catch Fire
I never heard of the show so I will go look about it too.

I don't buy it. We are already giving the IT industry too much leeway
to produce crappy products. Let them own their failures.

I would be happy to let them own their failure, like I said AMD chips
operated at such a high frequency to one up the competition that they
did actually catch fire. I guess if you never had it happen to you,
you would not appreciate the chaos.

I supported Dell systems for a bunch of years. We started seeing
failures with video failures on one model of laptop. Turned out the
system put out enough heat to make a video component on the
motherboard fail. Dell's solution, rather than re-engineering the
existing motherboards and sending replacements, was to put our a BIOS update that set the fan blowing at a much higher (and more annoying) speed. We were large enough that they sent us a shipment of
replacement systems with re-engineered motherboards to swap some of
them out, but we still had a lot of systems blowing hot air.

I was also a Dell certified tech and replaced alot of motherboards due
to capacitor issues, but I think this was during the time when there
was a bad batch of capacitors and they would bubble and pop up the
ends. Wasn't just Dell at that time if I remember correctly. I was also
certified by Compaq/HP and those had the same issues.

Those were bad times for Dell customers. About the same time, Dell Optiplexes began popping capacitors because of heat buildup. They got really good at swapping out motherboards.

I remember replacing boards in quite a few GX280's.

Sounds like you were at a larger shop than me. I worked for
Computerland and would do factory service calls.

Best regards and have a great day!

I worked for a large internet auction site. Not too hard to figure out
who... :)
