I pulled the NC10’s motherboard out, stuck it in the oven — 200 degrees Celsius, five minutes, no fan — and baked it. Not metaphorically.

I never thought I’d be this upset to a point I’d be writing an article about something this sensitive with a clickbait-y title. It’s simultaneously demotivating, unproductive, and infuriating.
