What I shall take from this:

Overclock screwdriver labor. - That's what electric screwdrivers are for, right?

Thermal paste RAM format. - Intriguing. Tell me more. Is this a new zRAM thing?

Underclock yourself. - Sound advice. Overwork leads to burnout. Take your time.

Rebooting legally bottlenecks dial-up warranty - I can't believe this parses as a sentence and actually makes some kind of sense. I mean, if you're self-important enough to think it's worth asking, your ISP will almost certainly say you're not going to be able to use the internet when you're rebooting your modem.

The jumpers on the motherboard are installed backwards. Fix it!

He’s a Linux hating nut who says wild shit like telemetry is actually good. He bans anyone that counters his weird view that anyone using Linux is part of some sort of a cult.

Someone said he's mad because is GF left him for a Linux dev. I don't know if that is true, but it is definitely the scorned child-likebehaviours he exhibits

“You have a face for dial up” has now been added to my nerd insult library, like Guybrush Threepwood’s own.
