    helloman1556 got a reaction from Twolf in Linus should stop his $GME "Investment"   
    There are so many misunderstandings about how capital markets work within this thread and even from Linus himself on the latest WAN show. First thing, publicly announcing that you're committing capital to buying a stock based with the dollar amount being based partly on viewer donations can be considered price manipulation by the SEC or local regulatory agencies.
     
    Second, his point on LTT generating value by creating videos whereas funds investing in companies does not generate value is an inherently wrong statement. I'd love to have a discussion on how the allocation of capital by institutional investors (eg. private equity funds, hedge funds, investment banks, retirement system pensions, etc.) actually contributes to the development of new companies and ideas which ultimately generates value.
     
    Third, his assumption that short-sellers are the "bad guys" is the same view that major Wall Street players hold. Most of Wall Street hate short-sellers because short-sellers provide a contrarian view to otherwise unsustainable/fraudulent business models (see: WeWork, Enron, CDO shorts in 2008). By calling short-sellers the "enemy" of the people, you are taking the same position as the large incumbent players who want to pump up stock prices without any opposing views. This allows them to decide when to cash out and/or continue to drive up prices without actually creating value. 
     
    Linus, I know you'll probably never see this, but I'd be happy to sit down with you to have a discussion on capital markets and the implications of the recent GameStop phenomenon.

    Turning it on affects the longevity. I recommend keeping it in the original packaging 24/7 for the maximum useable life.

    So my Asus laptop runs at around 40 degrees C at idle and kicks up to 85-90 C while running GTA 5. Should I be worried and is there a solution or should I just keep doing what I do?
     
    Laptop is currently running an Intel i7-4710HQ and a GeForce 840M.
