You don’t need to fuse every fiber connection unless you’re doing really long distance fiber.
For runs inside a building, single pulls with mechanical splices would work just fine. You shouldn’t get much loss as long as there aren’t more than two or so mechanical splices.

I don’t disagree that you’re finding issues. But I’m not convinced these would cause a CPU to overheat at idle.
They might cause issues with temps under full load, but I think his main issue is the watercooler isn’t moving heat from the CPU block to the radiator.
Don’t do 5 dots, do one big dot in the center. About the size of a pea.
The pressure of the heatsink will spread it out.
If there was a short on something, the CPU wouldn’t work.
Even at idle, CPUs generate heat because there’s electricity flowing across them. That heat needs to be dissipated and for some reason, it isn’t.
My bet is either a pump failure, or power loss to the pump. Looking at the thermas paste marks on both the water block and the CPU, it looks like it’s making at least decent contact. If the water was flowing through it, it shouldn’t be overheating at idle. It might not be performing at peak efficiency, but it shouldn’t be overheating.
The pump for your water cooler is likely built into the CPU block. When you turn it on, do you feel any vibrations like the pump is running?
Can you hear any gurgling?
My bet is the pump isn’t pumping. Check the power connections and make sure they’re fully seated. If you have a fully modular psu, make sure the cable is plugged firmly into the psu.
But that’s how dogwhistles work: they can hide behind a veil of plausible deniability.
And his refusal in the leadup to the 2020 election to denounce the Proud Boys.
“Stand Back and Stand By” isn’t the kind of thing you say to a group you want nothing at all to do with.
They’re both about the same in terms of privacy so that’s quite an irrelevant thing to bring up. Windows sucks infinitely more from an usability perspective, though.
As someone who has used Linux as their primary desktop OS for about 7 years now, you don’t have to tell me that Windows sucks.
Edit: Oh, one more thing, you don’t have to do some bs hacks to use macOS without an Apple account.
I don’t use any accounts for my OS at all.
Apple making a proprietary pinout for NVME is what will keep me from ever giving them money.

It’s not like Apple uses a different controller, or that they invented a different communication standard. They just put the same communication pins from the same controller on a different physical connector, and charge you 10x for the replacement part. It’s why boards like this can work at all:

If Apple wasn’t using standard NVMe controller communication protocols and controllers, these adapter boards wouldn’t work at all.
The only thing that makes Apple marginally better is that the company spying on you tries to pretend like they’re not in it for your sweet data.
They might not be selling it right now, but only because they keep making money hand over fist from the non-repairable proprietary bullshit they produce. Once that faucet starts to slow down, you better believe they’ll be the next Google.
This is what I think is most likely as well. The capacity on the drive makes me think it’s a SSD and they can just spontaneously fail.
This is why you always need backups. It’s never a question of if, but rather when a drive will fail.
I can’t help but see it as the foot in the door.
I understand that Mozilla needs money, but I can’t make everyone who uses Firefox commit to donating money to keep them from having to do things like this to stay afloat. But them going down this path makes me not want to donate at all.
I never said I was, just that I wanted to support the browser that respects my privacy, and this move is making me reconsider it.
As long as it’s open source someone will be able to find a way to turn it off, either by an addon or by patching and compiling the source code.
IMO, that’s splitting a hair.
For a browser that supposedly respects user privacy, the fact that this is opt-out rather than opt-in really leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
I’m going to reconsider my monthly recurring donation to Mozilla, especially if they keep this up.
It’s basically just an end you attach to the fiber:

You’ll use a cleaver to break the fiber at a 90 degree angle to reduce attenuation, and slide it into the connector. Once it bottoms out, you press something down and it grabs the fiber, holding it in place.
I know it’s Youtube, but here’s a video of the process:

The idea is you would pull a fiber cable through a building and terminate it with ends like these. Then install them into a bulkhead to make them similar to solid-core CAT5/5e/6 cable into a patch panel. You can then use premade jumpers to connect from the building wiring to the devices you’re using.
The fusion machines are generally used for long distance links because of the significantly lower attenuation per splice. A fiber line that goes 40 miles is likely to have tens if not hundreds of splices in it depending on the number of spans of cable, and industry standard for fusion splices is 0.00-0.05 db attenuation per fusion splice.
