Scientists report that this past summer, on July 19, the shortest day ever was recorded — 1.4602 milliseconds shorter than the standard — because the earth is spinning faster than ever before. They have begun wondering if global warming might push the Earth to spin faster as the snow caps and high-altitude snows begin disappearing (because it's more aerodynamic?? haha). That doesn't sound at all alarming.
Been mildly annoyed that the fan of my ThinkPad spins up more often than it should, with little load.
Tonight, I cracked it open, and replaced the thermal paste.
So far, pretty good — it's running a few degrees cooler when idle, seems to cool down faster after a load spike.
Somewhat better, at least.
We'll see….
