Blocking only helps OP, it won't stop trolls from targeting other users.

They aren't that expensive. There are a lot of good options around $20-$30, even for gaming.

I can't remember what I did to break it, but back when I was in high school I was tinkering right before class and rendered my laptop unbootable. I booted into an Arch Linux USB, chrooted into my install, found the config file I messed with, then reverted it. I booted back into my system and started the bell ringer assignment as quickly as I could. I had one minute left when the teacher walks by, looks at it, and says that I did a really good job. She never knew my laptop was unbootable just 2 minutes earlier.

The Witcher and Portal Revolution. Now all I can think of is Geralt as a test subject complaining non stop about having to use a portal gun.

Or better yet, it's better to not require credentials to use a life saving device in the first place.

I used to be all of these, now I just press alt-F4 and go do something else. I'll come back to it later when I'm calmer.

They could have gotten the ladder, turned off the light, and then used the flashlight to lure him onto the ladder.

I don't mind telling the game to use a dedicated graphics card and I don't mind tinkering in general, but I want the graphics driver to work as expected. For example my Nvidia optimus setup doesn't always play nice with the external monitor and I'm currently dealing an issue where an nvidia specific setting is needed to get some games working, but that same setting causes issues in other games.

Nvidia cards can still be tricky, especially on optimus laptops. It's not nearly as problematic as it used to be, but I still run into occasional issues with it. If I ever buy a new computer for gaming, I'm going to go with AMD.
