Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Limit of two posts per person per day.
- Bots aren't allowed.
- Banned users will have their posts removed.

On the other hand, opening a browser makes my ThinkPad overheat and shut down. Yes, the fan controller is dead.
that's a sign not to use a browser!
Cool it with oil
I suspect it might very quickly get very messy, given it's a laptop :D
When was the last time you repasted it?
The fan controller on the motherboard is dead (the fan itself works, it just never gets the signal to turn on). A minute of sustained 100% load is enough to get it over 100C. I have a replacement motherboard somewhere, but I moved last year and it's still in a box.
switch to something less bloated, like netsurf or mothra
I usually downclock it to 800 MHz, launch the browser (takes like 2 minutes with an ssd and 8GB RAM) and then I can let it go back up to 1.83GHz (core 2 duo) as long as I don't open any page too big.
Not my main laptop anymore, mostly keeping it for sentimental reasons.
w3m is the way.
