    Applepiee got a reaction from SPARTAN VI in Worst Tech mistake you have ever made?   
    This is very embarrassing but..
     
    I've always built and upgraded my own system. I've never had any major mistakes.. Oh wait, forgetting one .. I'll include this real quick:
     
    I was 15 and decided to replace the CPU myself. Ended up with all the pins being bend.. My dad spend the next hours on fixing it, and got it to work (You're welcome, Dad!).
     
    Anyway.. up to the real deal.
     
    A friend asked me to build a computer for him. Everything went rather smooth, Assembling everything without and problems what so ever. Booted the PC, started installing software and then play some games.
     
    After some time his PC would turn off for no reason. I couldn't find the problem so decided to hope it being for a one time thing (stupid to think that anyway, I will never make that mistake again). Again, after some gaming it turned off.. So I installed some software to check Temperatures of the system and connected my monitor as dual to see real time stats. His idle was already significantly high than mine, so I went to search on the internet. It's been stated that the GPU does indeed get a little hotter than others, so thought that was fine.
     
    Started some gaming again and then saw the huge rise (don't remember how high, sorry). And then artifacts began to show.
     
    After several hours of checking ... I found it ...
     
    I didn't take out the metal plate of the GPU slot where he blows his air out.................
    GPU never worked again, the factory doesn't allow overheating in warranty and it's still sitting in my garage somewhere. I bought him a new GPU, which was a huge chunk from my wallet and felt bad for weeks, maybe months.
     
     
    I still feel bad.. Poor GPU.

    Will it support my 21600p wallpapers?  /s (but srsly I do have some)
     
    One feature I'd love to see, but that would be fairly hard to code would be to detect the actual resolution of an image.  For example, if I take a 480p image and stretch it to 4K and then upload that, it's technically 3840 x 2160 but the actual amount of detail in the file is still only 480p at best.  I've seen this happen on almost every wallpaper site where people upload upscaled garbage and so the resolution tags become meaningless.

    I'm sorry you feel it's pointing a pitchfork, but you can't ask for criticism then dismiss it when you don't like it.
    You should use the feedback to improve the site, you say you've made many modifications, but your site offers literally nothing that the 20,000 other 4K wallpaper sites offer. You really need to do something to make me want to visit your site over all the others.

    If you don't know these basic things, you clearly did not do much yourself.
     
     
    Go learn html/CSS/JS before you rip off someone's framework when you have no idea what to do.

    Looks alright, but do you have permission to redistribute these images?

    I've been working on a 4K based wallpaper site and I feel like it's ready to show to the 4K loving community.
    There may still be a bug or two or three, and am also still working on other features, but it should be more than enough already.
     
    The site: Best 4K Wallpapers
     
    You can:
    Browse in Categories, Rate and Report, Comment, Submit Wallpapers, And has a nice profile system where you can see the submitted and liked wallpapers on your profile and even upload a cover image.  
    I'm currently running out of idea's on how I can make it even better. Any suggestions?

    Applepiee got a reaction from GeekJump in Logitech seems to be called Logicool here in Japan. [Pic inside]   
    When I first saw it I thought it was some kind of ripoff/spin-off. But when I did some research about it it seems like there is already a company named Logitech here in Japan, so they had to rename it here.
     
    What do you guys think of the name "Logicool" ?

    Didn't they change the chemical fire extingishing agent in server rooms to FM200 or Inergen? But yeah 10 seconds countdown till it fires the chemical if it's a manual override. If it detects a fire tho, it is a 2 stage system.
