How to make PC spit out hot air?


Recommended Posts

Obviously I close it when he goes away but he opens it AGAIN.

The topic was warming the PC so it blows out hot air. The reason really should be irrelevant...

If you don't have anything to contribute to the topic, why waste time on your life posting in this thread? (No offense but) Do you guys really have nothing better to do with your lives?

Sounds like you've got all the hot air you need in the office. And no, I'm not talking about the guy you work with.

I actually use to do something like this years ago when working in a warehouse, i cant stand having cold feet!

Best way was to remove the fan from the CPU heatsink to let it act like a radiator, then the exhaust fan blows out the nice warm air.

Yes, this is probably a fire risk and i do not recommend it. It did the job though! and the PC lasted through all of winter... almost. Till it died. Then i bought a heater :p

Get a Door Closer installed

It's a workplace Occupational Health and Safety issue so it should be no problem in getting one installed. It would also save your workplace from a huge electricity bill from running PCs hot/Electric Heaters more than necessary.

Otherwise...

Yup, because all of us can install things in our workplace just like that :rolleyes:

The thread can now end. Im running that program and that's it.

Loving your attitude. Perhaps if you don't want feedback you shouldn't start a thread.

Dude, I told you exactly how to get it installed:

Step 1. Approach your manager to speak with him

Step 2. Tell him about the cold air coming in from the door making ypu extremely cold.

Step 3. Tell him "It's a workplace Occupational Health and Safety issue"

Step 4. Request that a door closer be installed (or the workmate be made to close the door after him by a higher authority.)

Step 5. Also say "It would also save your workplace from a huge electricity bill from running PCs hot/Electric Heaters more than necessary"

Step 6. The manager will handle all the particulars of getting it done.

If your manager is not going to do anything, then that workplace is not worth working for, and you should look for a new job who will take your safety seriously. Then again, if you can't even man up to speak to your own manager thrn maybe you belong there.

    • Google reshuffles its AI coding team as it struggles to catch Anthropic by Karthik Mudaliar Google is already reorganizing the AI coding “strike team” it created roughly two months ago, as it attempts to find ways to close the gap with Anthropic in one of generative AI’s most commercially important areas. According to The Information, Google DeepMind is expanding the team’s focus to include “midtraining,” rather than concentrating only on coding tools and agents. Midtraining takes place after a model’s broad initial training but before the final stages that prepare it to follow instructions and perform specific tasks. In simple terms, it gives developers another opportunity to expose a model to carefully selected data before it is polished for release. That could help Google improve Gemini’s underlying coding abilities instead of relying only on better prompts, interfaces, or post-training. Previous research has found that midtraining can be particularly effective for code and mathematics, where models must move from general language knowledge to more structured tasks. Google reportedly created the original strike team in April. It was led by Google DeepMind research engineer Sebastian Borgeaud, who previously worked on model pretraining, and focused on complex, long-running programming jobs. Google co-founder Sergey Brin and Google DeepMind chief technology officer Koray Kavukcuoglu were also reportedly involved in the effort. DeepMind researchers were said to believe that Anthropic’s coding tools were outperforming Google’s Gemini models, prompting the company to give the project more attention. Anthropic has made coding a central part of its AI strategy through Claude Code and its Claude model family. The company has continued improving that area, with Claude Opus 4.8 offering upgrades for coding and other agentic tasks, along with the now-unavailable Mythos and Fable models. The reshuffle also comes at a time when Google faces increased competition for AI researchers. Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer recently announced that he was leaving Google for OpenAI, while two other researchers who contributed to Gemini and DeepMind projects are reportedly preparing to join Anthropic. It remains unclear whether the reorganized team will produce a new public Gemini model or developer product. No release date, team size, or specific performance target has been disclosed.
